Jo Swinson faces an uphill struggle to woo voters ahead of next month's ballot after a poll found the electorate dislikes the Liberal Democrat leader more it sees her. A quarter of voters still like her, but half now hold an unfavorable view, implying that those who did not initially know Ms Swinson have been dismayed with what they have now seen of her. Like all party leaders, Ms Swinson, who is married and has two young sons, has been criss-crossing the country to scoop up wavering voters in marginal constituencies. In addition to pledging scrapping Brexit, Ms Swinson has been rolling out a series of policies to implement if she wins the keys to Number 10. The measure would not apply to Scotland, where Ms Swinson is an MP, as income tax policy is devolved.
