Polling the Nolan principles. On behalf of @38_degrees we asked over 4000 members of the public to rate the Government, MPs, Boris Johnson and the Labour Party on Nolan's 7 ethical standards in public life, here's what we found:
Almost 6 in 10 (59%) people do not believe the Government upholds the Nolan principle of integrity, and 62% do not believe it upholds the principle of honesty.
55% of the public believe Boris Johnson as Prime Minister does not exhibit leadership. Only 1 in 3, (32%) says he does.
The Labour Party do not score well, however..
The Conservative Party is perceived worse on these measures:
More 2019 Conservative voters said that they believed the current Government does *not* act with openness, selflessness, honesty and integrity than those who said it did:
Polling showed that while the British public are disaffected with MPs in general:
The public believe their own MP is more likely to uphold the Nolan principles of public life:
The latest Survation national results of 3236 voting intentions, conducted with this poll, puts Labour and the Conservatives on level pegging - 37%, a change on the last round of Survation results published in October, where the Conservatives enjoyed a 4 point lead (39% to 35%).

NEW: Russian public opinion shows “rally round the flag” views in relation to the conflict in Ukraine and view Russia's role very differently to the West.
But Russians have high levels of concern about sanctions, are sceptical that actions are worth the economic cost.
🧵
During March 15-16th, Survation interviewed 1137 Russian adults online, covering their views on political leaders and institutions, the conflict in Ukraine, news media, messaging and social media use.
Views on Russia’s “direction” are tightly linked to whether a respondent supports or opposes the Russian military action in Ukraine.
NEW: Polling Nolan principles for @38degrees at a pivotal time for UK politics. This monthly tracker has asked 11,000+ members of the public to rate the Government, Boris Johnson, Keir Starmer, Labour & Conservatives on Nolan’s 7 ethical standards in public life:
Perceptions of the Government have taken a significant hit. 70% (+5) of the public now say that the Government is dishonest, reflecting the ongoing scrutiny about lockdown parties in No 10.
More Conservative past voters have lost faith in their own Party with over half (53%) now saying the Party is dishonest and lacks leadership (52%), a significant increase (+10) since our December polling.
Given the defection of @Christian4BuryS we would highlight that a reliable indication of current political thinking in the Bury South & the North West of England exists - using our MRP tracking on behalf of @38degrees
Our most recent MRP update indicated Labour’s vote share in Bury South was 52% (+9 since GE 2019) with the party enjoying a 16 point lead* over the Conservatives on 35% (-8).
The current perception in Bury South of the Government’s upholding of the Nolan Principles is poor. Constituents believe the government is quite unlikely to uphold Nolan principles, with a score of 0.32 out of a possible 1.
Survation gave evidence to an APPG meeting in September on research we conducted in “Left Behind” neighbourhoods for Local Trust. @appgleftbehind
Residents in these areas are more at-risk for feeling the impacts of climate change with around a quarter of these areas being coastal communities, yet our research showed most residents are concerned and think that their councils are not doing enough.
We found projects to improve housing, air quality, access to green spaces and jobs are overwhelmingly popular with residents and will have co-benefits to climate action. Local Trust released a report yesterday outlining our research findings and the content of the APPG meeting.
