Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : This, along with the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, may well have decreased UK public support for military interventions.
51% : But crucially, while increased spending to enable this deployment may improve UK-US relations, it could also make things difficult with voters, who could have to endure tax rises or further cuts to public spending.
47% : When Cameron sought support for military intervention in Syria, Ed Miliband as leader of the Labour Party was crucial in the vote against this deployment.
44% : Increasing military spending and showing that the UK will help bear the cost of peacekeeping in Ukraine may also help set the tone of Starmer's relationship with Trump.
32% : Trump will be less likely to criticise Starmer if the PM can show that he is listening to Trump's demands for Nato countries to increase their military spending.
24% : Comments from former prime minister Boris Johnson that Trump accusing Ukraine of starting the war was the same as claiming that "America attacked Japan at Pearl Harbor" may help build cross-party support.
