Useful context around record high 230 people on one small boat today... The number of people per boat has been getting higher for a long time now - the average of 72 per boat in July was the highest we've seen. But at the same time, the number of boats and people arriving have been falling (1/3)

The ONS has updated its disposable income data, including a revision to older figures. It now reveals that living standards fell between Dec 2019 and Jun 2024 - the first time that disposable income has been lower at the end of a parliament than the start

It's still a bit early to assess in full, but we had a go at tracking how some of Labour's big pledges are going so far - to mark their first year in power. In short, perhaps surprisingly good news on certain economic measures, but not much to get excited about on the main policy targets (1/4) 🧵

The government are trying to draw links between better weather this year and more small boat Channel crossings. The link is there, but it's not as simple as that. What they're not telling us is that there's also been a big rise in crossings on days when the weather is not good.

Line chart shows that "high viability" crossing days when the weather is good lead to more migrants crossing, but that the rise in crossings on "low viability" days is consistent and fast

Bar chart shows that the number of good sailing days is significantly higher this year than last year

Have there been more plane crashes this year? The short answer is no, but there is one big reason why you might think there have been… There have been almost 10m flights so far this year. That’s a lot, it’s 10% higher than had been recorded by this time in 2024 (1/6 🧵)

We're not in a post-truth world yet, so I had a look at some of Trump's recent claims about the size of his... election victory. 1. "We won all the swing states and by historic margins." Sweeping them was impressive, but 'historic margins' is a bit of a stretch. Many of Obama's were larger 🧵
