Regarding the upcoming UK elections, there’s this from The Telegraph Torygraph….

Sir Keir Starmer is more trusted by the public on national security than Rishi Sunak, polling has found.

The finding from More in Common is a blow to the Conservatives, who have tried to make security and defence a key dividing line with Labour for the general election.

The survey also found that almost half of the public thinks the next few years will be some of the most dangerous the country has ever faced, with a majority of people not confident that the UK can defend itself against Russia and China.

More in Common polled 2,308 adults in Great Britain between May 17 and 19.

Asked who they most trusted between Sir Keir and Mr Sunak to keep Britain safe, 34 per cent of people opted for Sir Keir with 26 per cent choosing Mr Sunak. Forty per cent of people answered “don’t know”.

When people were asked whether they think the Prime Minister is a “safe pair of hands-on issues of national security”, 48 per cent said he was “not a safe pair of hands” compared to 27 per cent who thought he was.

Asked the same question about Sir Keir, 33 per cent said he would not be a safe pair of hands, compared to 32 per cent who thought he was.

The polling will come as a disappointment to the Tories, who are trying to put national security at the heart of their election campaign.
