1/ It’s that time! We reveal how voters responded to the melting pot of politics and the week’s hottest topics:

💵 Nadim Zahawi tax
🇪🇺 Brexit
↗️ Levelling Up
📉The PM’s performance

Get your dancing shoes on. We're like the Pan's People of Polling (yeah, yeah, we’re that old)

2/ Kicking off this week, Labour stay at No. 1 in the charts with 50% of the vote in consecutive weeks for the 1st time since we started polling. A 24-point lead over the Tories:

🟡 SNP 3% (-1)
⚪️ Ref 7% (+2)

⚪️ Don’t Know: 37% (+4)

6/ As the fallout of Nadim Zahawi’s tax affairs continued to dog the minister this week, we asked if he should resign as Conservative Party chairman. Your answer was so loud, it almost came with a noise abatement warning:

✅ Yes: 76%
❌ No: 10%

7/ ‘Levelling Up’ funding has rolled out in a blizzard of gov PR. So, what do you think?

48% - it has increased regional inequality
