‘The greatest issue facing the Met is their reputation. 42% of Londoners state they don’t feel safe walking in their local area – rising to 50% among women.

2 in 5 Londoners (44%) believe the Met has done a bad job in ‘treating everyone fairly regardless of who they are’

With a ‘blackhole’ in the Met Police budget, money isn't the only challenge to effective Met Policing
£450 million is the latest ‘blackhole’ figure in the Met Police’s budget, as announced today by Mark Rowley at the London Policing Board.

Interesting stuff from Savanta's @chrishopkins92.bsky.social on where there may be an emerging parallel between the US and the UK:

Great to speak to LBC about Savanta’s latest research on assisted dying - a complex issue and one that is tricky to poll, but our findings consistently show a public that is broadly supportive but still needs to be convinced on safeguarding
🔊 "There are high levels of concern about people being put under undue pressure to medically end their life."

@emmalevin.bsky.social spoke to @lbcnews.bsky.social on our research suggesting strong public support for assisted dying in different contexts, but also worry about its consequences.

Nearly half (46%) of public support legalisation of assisted dying for non-terminal diseases, with one in five (20%) opposing.

Higher support (50%) for assisted dying for degenerative diseases with longer life expectancy than proposed six-months.

@emmalevin.bsky.social gave her analysis of our snap poll in the hours following the Autumn Statement.

Go through thread below to see who the public:
- Trust more on the economy
- Who public thought were 'winners' and 'losers' from the budget
- What they liked/disliked the most
Some analysis from me of @savanta.bsky.social’s snap poll of public response to budget.

To start with - a reminder that snap polls give a quick reaction to events, and while they are useful for getting the initial response, assessments of budgets can change as announcements are absorbed.

👎 Just three in ten (29%) of the public say that Labour's plan for the economy is working, compared to 43% who say their plan is not working.

After march's spring budget, one in four (24%) said the Conservatives' plan for the economy was working, with six in ten (60%) saying it was not.

Interestingly, the biggest ‘winners’ of this budget in terms of who benefits are seen as young people (47%) and low earners (63%).

The ‘losers’ are public transport users (despite them being more likely to be young and low earning) and business owners.

Low earners (63%) and young people under 30 (47%) are seen as the biggest beneficiaries of the Chancellor's autumn statement by the public.

People who use public transport (72%) and business owners (66%) seen as the biggest 'losers'.

Two thirds (64%) say the budget won't be enough to tackle the cost of living - but this is a significant improvement on this metric from the Conservative Budget in March (74%).

As we tend to see, most measures are broadly popular – particularly NHS spending & min wage rise.

However, the major exception is the single bus fare cap increase, which has big opposition. While, views of changes to employer’s NI contributions are mixed.

Increased spending in the NHS (71%) and raising the national minimum wage (69%) are the most popular measures in the budget, among many liked by public.

The outlier is bus fare cap, with over half (52%) of the public opposing.
