Rishi Sunak has signed off a £500,000 Treasury spend of taxpayers' money for focus groups and polls - sparking a Labour claim the chancellor is trying to 'repair his image'
Documents published by the Government show consultants Deltapoll were selected to carry out the work, with an option to extend the contract for another year - taking the potential total cost to £1 million.
Labour said it was "simply staggering" the department had given the green light to "little more than a taxpayer-funded vanity exercise for a Chancellor desperate to repair his image".But a Treasury source insisted the research was policy-focused, rather than seeking feedback on Mr Sunak's personal profile.
"At the start of the pandemic, the Treasury justified their spending on focus groups and polls as an emergency measure to test the impact of different policy options, but now this is little more than a taxpayer-funded vanity exercise for a Chancellor desperate to repair his image.
