the two sources of information that democracy depends on citizens to trust...
aren't trusted.
"This year we see a generalised increase in trust in professions, after a few years of sustained decreases for many of the occupations we investigate. The roles which have benefitted especially are professors, priests, the average person and – perhaps surprisingly – estate agents.
But this positivity has not extended to politicians, who remain Britain’s least trusted profession, nor to Advertising Executives who are the only role whose trust score has stayed level with 2023. Government Ministers have seen a small rise in trust but remain Britain’s second least trusted profession".
