Labour says rules broken over contract that examined attitudes towards Keir Starmer and Sadiq Khan
Labour is calling on the Conservative party to pay back £580,000 of taxpayers’ money spent by the government on polling, including testing public attitudes to Keir Starmer, at the height of the Covid crisis.
Angela Rayner has written to the cabinet secretary, Simon Case, urging him to investigate the contract, which was awarded after the personal intervention of Boris Johnson’s then chief adviser, Dominic Cummings.
