The survey shows MPs agree with the general public, who also deemed the FT to be the most-trusted outlet in a previous survey published in May. The second most-trusted news outlet was The Times, which was trusted by 63% of MPs and distrusted by 11%. RelatedNext was ITV News, making it the highest-ranked broadcaster with a 45% trust score versus a 14% untrustworthy score. ITV News (45%) remained the most trusted broadcaster, but was followed by GB News (trusted by 37% of Conservative MPs) which has a number of sitting Tory MPs as presenters including Jacob Rees-Mogg. Left-wing newspapers The Mirror (6%) and The Guardian (18%), and politically-neutral but campaigning The Independent (18%), were the least trusted by Conservative MPs.
