Redfield & Wilton
As set-piece speeches from both party leaders kick off the political new year, it's worth looking further into where the public stands on the two leaders. Redfield & Wilton's latest tracker presents a seemingly contradictory picture: while the public approves of Keir Starmer, with a net
Opinium
