And while 41 percent of the public thought, Mr. Keir respected before the election, that figure fell to 24 percent.

The survey also suggested that the perceived lack of respect for the political elites for the Support for the Support for the Reform of Great Britain, with the supporters of that party more likely to respect that politicians as a whole respect.

About 85 percent of reform supporters said that they thought politicians did not respect their contribution to society, while 86 percent of the thought is that politicians do not respect their values.

However, the leader of Nigel Farage reform has achieved more than two main party leaders in respect of the public, 50 percent of respondents still said that they did not respect people like them.

Asked whether one in the Agreement is required to engage in the transition of the canal, said the time radio: “Well, look, we work very closely with the French authorities, and the visit of the president is another opportunity to continue these discussions.

“I will not guess about covering this possibility of one in a single agreement with France. We have seen in the last few days, isn’t we, that French authorities now use some new tactics to stop ships in shallow waters.

“We welcome it and we want to do it on it. I know the prime minister talked to the presidential macroon on the weekend.

“We look forward to further discussions this week, because we all want to solve the misery, indeed that these very sophisticated international criminal gangs are applied through this fairy shop operating through the canal.”

She added: “We were honest that this was a problem that we wouldn’t fix overnight … so we have to get rid of this from all sides.”

French President Emmanuel Macron will arrive in the UK on Tuesday Tuesday, because Sir Keir Sparmer Starmese presses for more help stopping small ships crossing the channel.
