No idea what the impact will actually be but I suspect we're about to see an example in polling of when a low salience topic becomes a high salience one.

Imagine being able to tell the Andy Burnham in Gordon Brown's cabinet "don't worry if you can't block it now, in 18 years you'll be prime minister and the thing still won't have fucking happened"

Alternative: it kicks in when you're ~25 years out from retirement. So like most millennials I'm safe until about 50

Yet another begging bowl email from the Labour Party this morning. ‘There is no pretending about the scale of what we’re up against.’ If only you guys had a massive majority in Parliament and could pass legislation to protect our democracy from ‘what we’re up against’.

Helpful reminder that the vast majority of middle England home-owning "Con15/15/19" voters who think immigration is too high will also see these guys as thugs and their anger at the state response will likely be at how slow and ineffective it is.

After the GE2015 polling miss, the inquiry led by Bluesky's favourite survey methodologist @patricksturg.bsky.social, found f2f surveys conducted by @britishelectionstudy.com and British Social Attitudes had got a lot closer to the result than the polling industry. That was not the case in GE2024.

This has been on the list of things I've wanted to poll for months so I'm incredibly annoyed that @mattsmithetc.bsky.social got there first and it's proven just as interesting as I thought it would be

As someone who writes surveys for a living: *this is what you pay us for rather than doing it yourself*. Is this something people can/will answer accurately? How does it compare to what we know about how they behave?

Easy to criticise question design after the fact but my one tweak would've been adding "yes, I had a quick glance but tried to be careful", "yes, I wore several pairs of normal sunglasses" and "yes, I stared deep into the soul of the sun"

Inspired by @stephenkb.bsky.social's mention of Ned Beauman, Venomous Lumpsucker is a wonderful book but my favourite line is:

It was just one blow, but Halyard took it with all the fortitude and dignity of somebody trying to pull off a personal injury scam.

I completely get this but my version is that my dad, on a random evening, can go along to the pub and have a reasonably good chance of bumping into someone he knows (at least vaguely) and can chat to

I otherwise really enjoyed the Spiderman film but it was at least 20 minutes too long. I think you can lose the entire Hulk cameo section easily

Don't know why it bothered me more than product placement in other films but it really did feel at times like there was a Spiderman film struggling to emerge from under that advert for shiny new Samsung phones

Centuries from now it'll be a rite of passage for historians to go down a conspiracy rabbithole and blame the whole post-2016 weirdness on this mysterious character who's been at the side of every PM like the autopilot in WALL-E

Given a) how hard constituency polling is b) how unusual this one was and impossible to predict turnout, this from @survation.bsky.social has held up pretty well. The only consistent lesson in polling: never prompt for Laurence Fox

Survation poll of Clacton, Farage on 70%, Binface on 20%, Fox on 2%

Also my spicy hot take on the film: it's fine, it's what I'd expect if you said "Christopher Nolan is making an Odyssey film", gently cinematic, a few clever bits, a bit that reaches too far, and no emotional attachment whatsoever to any of the characters

Having now seen the film, it's even funnier that the world's richest man is melting down over a character with approx. 45 seconds of screen time
