Britain's crisis-hit PM faces tricky party conference

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Ministers deny that their hard line on Brexit is to blame for widespread shortages of workers in critical sectors, including an estimated shortfall of 100,000 lorry drivers, pointing to the pandemic instead.
45% : The crisis risks undermining themes that Johnson wants to tout at the conference, including "levelling up" economic growth, "Global Britain" after Brexit, and "anti-woke" culture wars.
39% : "There's a recognition that after Brexit, the government needs a rationale and that it is delivering on some of the benefits it promised," he said.
