Public attitudes toward same-sex relationships have changed dramatically. In 1983, just 17% said they were “not wrong at all”. By 2022, it was 67%. A powerful shift over 40 years. #BritishSocialAttitudes #LGBTQ #PrideMonth #PublicAttitudes #Data

Strong public support for winter fuel allowance u-turn. Westminster usually overestimates the negative impact of u-turns vs the political benefit.

If you're interested in where Reform are getting their votes from, we made a really short video about it last year! This was about their 2024 voters, but (given the long-term trends) I'd be shocked if it had changed a lot since then! youtu.be/Z8s9hzTsruc?...

During the cost-of-living crisis, single parents were much more likely to need to borrow money than others. In 2023-24, two-thirds of single parents with three or more children who were in receipt of means-tested benefits (like Universal Credit) borrowed money to help pay for things.

Our latest blog from Dr Sarah Minty highlights the latest data release from Growing Up in #Scotland (GUS). It explores the key topic areas covered at sweep 11 - when participants were aged 17/18 – and how researchers can access the #data. growingupinscotland.org.uk/life-17-new-... #LifeAt17

Data from the eleventh sweep of GUS data collection with Birth Cohort 1 (those born in 2004/05 who were 17 or 18 at the time) is now available for analysis. At this sweep, the young people in the study were preparing to leave or had recently left school, some were in college or employment.
