Best ever list vote and joint best constituency for the Greens here (certainly, of any BBS covered poll), though Ipsos do tend to be on the higher end. Worst Labour constituency share of this term. Alba such a tiny proportion of respondents they don't even register; was 2% on list last poll.

I’m pleased ExxonMobil has been fined for breaching the law and causing misery for surrounding communities. While the fine represents a tiny drop of ExxonMobil’s profits, it does send an important message to corporations who disregard environmental laws that protect communities. Now

I can’t remember whether our right-wing media was completely detached from reality before Brexit; Gove’s anti-expert rhetoric; Johnson’s blatant lies etc etc. I fondly imagine things were never this bad…
The UK is by no means a fiscal outlier internationally.
We are ‘middle of the pack’ on the scale of the deficit, and UK government borrowing is projected to fall by more than in other large economies.
