US Trade Agreement Makes Starmer Less Popular With Brits

Since last week’s slew of trade announcements a City AM/Freshwater Strategy Poll interviewed 1,250 UK adults over the weekend. Guido has had sight of the full unpublished polling data. Starmer not coming off too well…

Hilariously after signing a vague general trade agreement with the United States 22% of Brits’ view of the PM has worsened compared to only 15% whose view has improved – nothing has changed for the rest. No instant gratification here…

On trade 52% back the deal with India vs 25% against. Interestingly the majority of Brits (53%) are opposed to the NICs carve out for seconded Indian workers compared to only 32% in support. No surprise seeing as they have had theirs hiked by Labour…

Reform is now polling as the most trusted party to grow the economy with their four most popular policies all being tax cuts:

• Increase the income tax personal allowance to £20,000 and raise the higher-rate threshold from £50,271 to £70,000.
• Abolish stamp duty on properties valued below £750,000 introduce a 2% rate for properties between £750,000 and £1.5 million, and a 4% rate for properties above £1.5 million
• Eliminate inheritance tax on estates valued below £2 million and apply a 20% rate on amounts above this threshold.
• Abolish business rates for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and raise the VAT threshold to support small businesses.

Support for those range from 43 to 50 while Reform’s other promises – like nationalisation of utilities – drop to 30 points and below. Read those lips…
