Nearly 73% of voters think government ‘has not done enough’ to help with the rising cost of living, snap poll finds

VOTERS sent a “distress call” to the government today over the soaring cost-of-living crisis, according to a snap poll.

Nearly three-quarters — 73 per cent — of those who voted in the local elections think that the government “has not done enough” to help with the rising cost of living, according to a new survey by the TUC.

The poll, carried out by Opinium as voters went to polling stations on Thursday, reveals that just 20 per cent think ministers have done enough to help people get through the cost-of-living crisis.
