Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : As the prime minister arrived in Manchester on Saturday night for his party's first full conference since its thumping 2019 election win, Johnson insisted he was ready to take the "big, bold decisions on the priorities people care about - like on social care, on supporting jobs, on climate change, tackling crime and levelling up".
59% : Shevaun Haviland, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, said ministers needed to work with firms to deal with the growing fallout from Covid and Brexit.
51% : Berry, who opposed the recent announcement of a rise in national insurance from next April and the ending of the £20 universal credit uplift from this week, said: "The challenge for the government at this conference is to square the circle of how you can level up deindustrialised and poorer communities in the north of England while at the same time taking cash out of their pockets through a national insurance rise and cuts in universal credit."
44% : A group of senior Conservative MPs has broken ranks to openly question how Boris Johnson can deliver on his promise to increase prosperity in poorer parts of the UK while at the same time raising taxes for working people and cutting benefits.
