Badenoch moves to her highest approval of her time as LOTO on -4 with the biggest gap between her and other leaders. Davey is at -12, Farage -13, Polanski -25 and Keir Starmer is up this week though still far at the bottom of the pack on -44.
Britons are now more likely to see the Conservatives as united than divided for the first time in six years
United: 33% (+5 from 18-20 Apr)
Divided: 28% (-6)
BREAKING: Even Keir Starmer's Chief Secretary Darren Jones admits he doesn’t have confidence in Rachel Reeves to grow the economy.

56,323 criminals released early
72,000 small boat migrants
366,000 more unemployed
...But working age benefit spending is set to have increased by £45 billion a year & (as they admit) that's the only thing Labour care
Labour said "every penny" from the spiteful education tax would go on more state school teachers.
