Over half of Brits think government is handing the economy badly

A YouGov poll has shown that over half of the UK adult population think the government is doing a bad job with the economy, up 7 points from September 6 to 54%.

People also thought the government were handling Inflation and tax badly, with polling putting the numbers at 53% (+15) and 60% (+13) respectively.

The poll also found that the Conservatives are losing their reputation as a low tax party. 64% of Britons think that taxes would rise under a future Tory government, but only 56% say the same of Labour.
