The Government spent taxpayers' money on conducting political polling during the coronavirus pandemic, newly uncovered emails suggest.
The Good Law Project is in the process of a legal challenge against the Government over a decision to award a contract to what the group described as 'associates' of Michael Gove and Dominic Cummings at the Hanbury Strategy consultancy firm.
Documents unearthed as part of the legal proceedings and published by the group today suggest that Hanbury was instructed by the Cabinet Office to carry out polling on opposition figures including Sir Keir Starmer and Sadiq Khan.
