By Polly Curtis| The Times Verified It’s not yet 100 days into a new government which the prime minister said would rebuild trust in politics, and that battle is already looking lost. A government that promised to restore integrity in public life has been beset by rows over freebies while its principal plank — to deliver on its promises in the long term — is fraught with risk. Some say it was a mistake to ever put trust on the agenda, that such promises are doomed to fail. They are wrong.
By Polly Curtis| The Guardian Verified How do you build back trust in government and politicians? Globally, the trust crisis is blamed for the rise of populism. In the UK, the new government has come into power with a blizzard of policy announcements and a focus on what Keir Starmer, the prime minister, calls “the fight for trust” – one that “defines our political era”. Some insist that the key is delivery – following through on policies that improve people’s lives.
