One, two, three – and now Truss tops our Cabinet League Table for the fourth time

And Williamson’s negative rating halves in the wake of his intervention in the Batley Mohammed cartoons row.

Our survey. Almost nine in ten Party members expect the Conservatives to lead a government after the next election.

Pride comes before a fall and all that, but the above helps to explain why it’s grim out there for Starmer.

An Easter present for Johnson. His rating for handling Covid is up again – and at its highest since a year ago. Our survey.

Only twice since the pandemic began has it exceeded this rating – and both were at the start of it last year.

ConHome’s survey. Johnson’s rating for handling Covid reaches its highest since last spring.

And the Chancellor’s score survives the Budget relatively intact: his score is down, but there is no sudden collapse.

Our survey. A majority of respondents back Sunak’s Budget. Under one in ten say it was bad.

Fifty eight per cent think was good or very good; 34 per cent a mix of good and bad.

Our post-Budget Cabinet League Table. Sunak is still second – though his score is his lowest as Chancellor since Covid.

Mind you, he retains a strongly positive rating. Truss remains top – and Lord Frost comes straight in at fourth.

Our monthly survey will be postponed until after Wednesday’s Budget

Sunak’s scores have come in at exceptionally high levels. We will see what happens next as more conventional times approach.

Our Cabinet League Table. Truss is still top, Johnson is up again – and Kwarteng comes straight in at fourth.

The Brexit deal bounce in our final survey of last year has left little room for a vaccine bounce in the first survey of this one.

Our survey. If there is English separatism among Conservative activists, it’s well concealed.

Eighty-five per cent say that the Union is either very or fairly important to them. Our findings are almost exactly the same as six months ago.

Our survey. Conservative activists back the Labour Party…

…In Scotland, if the Tories can’t win themselves, as the lesser of two evils. Thereby putting the Union before party advantage.

Our survey finds further evidence that Party activists are swinging back behind the Government over Covid

At 47 per cent, just short of half of those who gave a view, support for Ministers’ lockdown timetable is up by over ten points.

The campaign to oppose the 0.7 per cent aid cut will gain very little support from Party members

This survey finding is unsurprising but, since the change will apparently require legislation, it’s important to record it.

Auto-rant, bullshit and self-pity. The conspiracists who stormed the senate. And their right-wing equivalents here.

We feel the power of American culture in Britain – and the shock-jockery, coat-trailing, and oppositional mindset that comes with it. 

Our survey. The advent of the new Covid strain and the vaccine sees a swing towards maintaining lockdown

Support for the Government maintaining its present course takes a plurality of the votes, and that for easing restrictions faster loses its majority.

Our Cabinet League Table feels the Brexit Trade Deal Bounce

Johnson is up to ninth from fifth from bottom, Gove jumps up to near the top quarter, Hancock is clearer from the relegation zone – and Truss stays top.
