BRITONS do not want to go to war and do not back the bipartisan elite bellicosity, a new poll has revealed.

The poll, by Focaldata for online platform UnHerd, found that voters were much more realistic about foreign policy than either of the main parties.

Unlike Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, only 7 per cent want Britain to be more engaged in overseas conflicts, while 44 per cent feel it should be less involved.
