Here's how the real two-tier Britain works: 1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off. 2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

The important characterisation of the UK pop'n from More In Common highlights v low levels of trust in most former 'authoritative' professions. Scientists are the exception. Trust both fragile & valuable. We scientists must continue to *earn* it. Science communication is more important than ever.

And I gave "Reason for name choices" as:

A chart showing the number of vehicles passing through the City of London per day each year since 1999. Motorised transport has been declining steadily. Bicycle use increased steadily up until 2012 after which it plateaued until 2022. It has since increased markedly and is now just below the number of motor vehicles.
