With the full results in from Thursday it does like it was a mixed bag for the Lib Dems - great results in areas where they are strong, not so good elsewhere. To use a metaphor - they have torn down the Blue Wall, but have they built trenches around it which they can't get out of? 👇🧵

Gorton and Denton serves as a microcosm of Labour's fragmenting electoral base with young progressives, Muslim voters and 'Red Wall' style voters abandoning them in one constituency 🧵

It's Traitors final day - so some new polling! There's been a lot of discourse over the fact that ethnic minority (BAME) contestants are more likely to be banished earlier in the show. But most Traitors viewers do *not* think unconscious bias is affecting outcomes 🧵

If this does proceed to a by-election, think it could be one of the messiest in history: Not only the Burnham factor but also at the GE: - Reform performed in line with their national share - A strong Green showing - Workers Party won 10% of the vote in this 30% Muslim seat 1/3

In a ward with a decent student population, where they finished second last time, you might hope for a better result for Greens than this. Still not seeing much of a Green surge in local council by-elections yet, but... 1/2

If you haven’t done so already, have a go at our super short quiz to see what segment you are in our new model. The segments capture worldviews really powerfully so it’s illuminating to see how your values differ from other Britons. (A prize if you can guess my segment!)

Could going hard on environmental issues help the Liberal Democrats retain the Blue Wall at the next election? Our new report, based on one of the most in-depth analyses of Lib Dem voter attitudes to the environment, suggests it could. A🧵of the key charts 👇🏼

The extent to which Reform have cannibalised the Conservatives' vote is remarkable. In last week's poll, 2019 Conservative voters were more likely to say they would vote for Reform than vote for the Conservatives. Reform pose an existential threat for the Tories.

We often talk about politicians being out of step with public opinion. The Youth Mobility scheme is a huge example of this - just the other way round to what we’re used to! Our quant & qual research strongly suggests there would be no public backlash to a youth mobility scheme.

Our latest MRP shows just how fragmented the electorate is and how challenging Labour’s situation is. It aligns with what we’ve been picking up in our focus groups as well - a complete loss of confidence in Labour’s ability to deliver a meaningful improvement to people’s lives.

Our latest MRP provides strong evidence that Reform’s post-election bounce and rise in support across the country is very real. For the Lib Dems & Greens it’s important to note our model doesn’t take full account of tactical voting, as we don’t yet know how that will work out…

What particularly stuck out to me when producing this chart was just how few people are aware the government has deported 10,000 illegal migrants since taking office. Yet despite spending a good chunk of yesterday's PMQs attacking Badenoch's migration record, Starmer didn't mention this once.
