Buried in the article:
"The research, by King's College London (KCL) and Ipsos UK, found that - ahead of a general election - the top issues people said would determine their vote include cost of living/inflation and the NHS and social care.
"Third was the issue of Channel crossings.
"But transgender rights and free speech were at the bottom of the list, with just 1% of people saying these issues would determine their vote."
The Tories are boned.
