Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : " Georgie Laming, campaigns director at the campaign group Hope Not Hate, said the crossover between Reform support and trade unionism was borne out by extensive research it had carried out between November and January.
49% : Christina McAnea, general secretary of Unison, which represents 600,000 local government workers, immediately called on non-unionised staff to join up in order to protect their rights.
37% : Yet, while many people have strong views on Trump or the NHS, it is not clear whether the general public is fully aware of Labour's "Making Work Pay" employment reforms.
34% : "But people will see what a hypocrite he is." The TUC is campaigning on Farage's close links to Trump, his open-minded approach to replacing the NHS with an insurance-based model and his previous comments on the Russian president -- as well as highlighting his hostility to the package of employment reforms.
31% : Farage, who campaigned for President Donald Trump in the US, has borrowed some of his playbook that saw Trump reach out to unionised auto workers and those in the US who felt left behind by global capitalism.
