The Government don't have an answer to the more systematic problems the country is facing. They can't do much about inflation, they can't turn around the economy with an easy fix and they can't do anything quick about the NHS having underfunded it for a decade. In hindsight, I think not taking advantage of historically low-interest rates to actually invest in the country and capital projects and instead choosing austerity will be seen as a massive blunder.
So instead they're focusing on culture war issues.
Their polling rates are bad because people are seeing their mortgages spike, the price of their food shop increasing each month, big waiting lists for the NHS and people dying because an ambulance can't get there in time and the Government is telling them not to worrying because they're clamping down on children identifying as a cat.
