Though it is early days, events in Ukraine may have reduced the public’s blame for the government for a decline in living standards.

James Frayne: Public opinion and Putin’s war. At present, solid for sanctions. But what will happen when effects are felt here?

In the event of higher bills and a protracted conflict, polls that indicate a potential softening of support may understate it.

He is still viable with the public if he is constantly compared to Starmer as the alternative.

Polling snapshot. Coming out of lockdown, Starmer’s election and disillusion with the Government are returning us to politics as normal.

There is no evidence from the poll of polls that the Dominic Cummings affair speeded up what has been a steady Tory decline since mid-April.
