Got back last night from focus groups this weekend in Beverley, Hull,Scunthorpe & Peterborough and without doubt the disillusionment was the worst I’ve heard, in every group it was anger; despondency or misery about the state of Britain that doesn’t feel sustainable.

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

🧵💚Does the Green Party's wider focus on economic/social justice issues mean that climate is being crowded out? Not for their voters - in fact those who now say they would vote green are more likely to back a range of 'climate action' measures than those who voted Green in 2024.

📕 With the Booker Prize winner set to be announced tonight, how does voting intention vary by favourite book genre. Reform’s highest score is with fans of horror, while Labour enjoys a landslide lead among fans of self-help books. *Read* into that what you will.

🧵 While the BBC remains fairly well trusted overall and one of the most trusted media sources in the country, the broadcaster has an image problem with Reform voters who are much less likely than average to say they trust the broadcaster and are split between trust/distrust.

Our new report with @uclpolicylab.bsky.social, Shared Institutions, is a deep dive of public opinion on universities. At a top level Britons feel positively about our universities impact on the UK & their local area. But emerging divides show the sector can’t take public opinion for granted

🤴 Given the future of the monarchy is back on the agenda. What do the public think? 47% oppose abolition 29% back it. Tory and Reform voters are most opposed. Green voters most likely to be in favour of abolition.

One implication. More pressure for Labour to have an offer for progressives starting with the budget. Two main reasons A) As we already knew Progressive defections from Labour in of themselves are clearly real and squeezing Labour, to Plaid in Wales and the Greens more broadly.
Scale of Plaid win in Caerphilly is significant, not least because of what it says about the potential for progressive tactical voting in (relatively) high turnout elections to block Reform. Voters in this race knew it was a Plaid-Reform contest and voted accordingly.

Ok banishing Stephen Fry is unforgivable. Officially worst group ever.
Does it actually matter that the celebrity faithfuls are so bad (aside from being painful to watch them fumble), given you can recruit new traitors is there any advantage to getting them out early.

Some people complain there’s too much polling in this life, but what is voting intention in the after life? Reform leads among both those who think they’d go to heaven & those who think they’d go to hell. Though their lead grows from 6 to 20 among (self selected) denizens of hell

Under appreciated about rise of the Greens is the biggest impact is likely (at least for now) less seats they win and more how policy & political debate has to shift in response. Farage’s parties had huge impact on centre of gravity long before becoming real contenders for power

Another sign of shifting politics? Labour lead Reform by 11 among those who say they are very comfortable financially. But trail Reform by 16 among those who say they often struggle to make ends meet - in fact Greens are close to overtaking Lab for 2nd with those who say they are struggling most.

With Boris Johnson saying the govt probably did go too far with lockdown measures for young people, a clear majority of Brits now say that school closures during the pandemic did more harm than good. Though younger Brits are more likely to say they did good than harm.
