The UK government has the joint-lowest approval rating worldwide for how they have managed coronavirus.

According to the latest YouGov polling only Mexicans have the same level of disapproval as Brits, closely followed by the Americans in third and France and Spain

Mexico hit its highest daily death toll last week as the crisis continues to mount in South and Central America.

On Thursday the daily death count was twice the previous high, leading to concerns the virus may be getting out of control.

In the UK, approval of the government’s handling of the crisis dropped from 65 per cent at the beginning of lockdown to just 34 per cent, according to an Opinium poll.

Almost three in five (57 per cent) think the government is bringing the UK out of lockdown too fast, while just 21 per cent think we are moving at the right pace, and 13 per cent think we are going too slowly.

Just over half (56 per cent) also expect lockdown measures to have to be reimposed at some point before a vaccine becomes available.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
