Here's how the real two-tier Britain works:
1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off.
2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

I'm going to steal this great explanation of ascertainment bias: if some dolphins push people towards shore, and some push them out to sea, we’ll never hear the stories of the 2nd, because the people drowned. Beaulieu #eseb2025

The important characterisation of the UK pop'n from More In Common highlights v low levels of trust in most former 'authoritative' professions.
Scientists are the exception.
Trust both fragile & valuable. We scientists must continue to *earn* it. Science communication is more important than ever.

I had to get home. I was offered the chance to get a taxi from Dorset to London at no cost, so I took it. Hilariously, the man who was in the taxi before us left a new pair of trousers in the boot. He needs them. He is in Poole. We, and his trousers, are on the M25. What larks.
