I do media and public affairs for 38 Degrees

Kate Wilsea @katewilsea.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

This Channel 4 dramatisation is heartbreaking and powerful. At 38 Degrees we’ve partnered with Surfers Against Sewage to demand the government finally take action: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

Really impressive piece of journalism here from Grace Murray at @tbij.bsky.social : interviews with 100 indigenous people ahead of Cop30. (Obvious importance of the issue aside, I don’t envy managing the logistics of compiling this many interviews)

💥 𝗘𝗫𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗩𝗘: Energy Secretary Ed Miliband promises to BAN FRACKING FOR GOOD in a message to 38 Degrees supporters ahead of his conference speech today. "You called for it. I’m going to do it. Thank you for your campaigning." Together our voices became impossible to ignore.

This long version of an ITV Gordon Brown interview is worth the watch. He lays out just how little we tax gambling companies compared to places like Delaware and how changing that could lift 500k children out of poverty: something Rachel Reeves could do at the budget: www.itv.com/news/2025-08...

Yesterday we delivered a @38degrees.bsky.social petition with @louisehaighmp.bsky.social signed by over 92,000 to 10 Downing Street, calling on the government to end the misuse of NDAs. After 6 years of reviews there’s no excuse left. With a govt supporting workers’ rights, the time is now.

Superb research from Runcorn by @38degrees.bsky.social. Striking contrast between areas of concern vs areas of action. A majority (including even a big chunk of people for whom immigration is the top preoccupation) look to different policy areas to actually judge a government. @mcgregor.bsky.social

When asked about what issues are most important in how they voted:

Top issues

All

RFM Voters

LAB Voters

Immigration

20%

56%

2%

NHS

16%

11%

26%

Cost of living

10%

6%

9%

Housing

8%

6%

7%

Economy generally

7%

8%

16%

20% of respondents selected immigration as one of their top issues, followed by the NHS (16%), and the cost of living (10%). On aggregate, 31% of respondents indicated that an economic factor was important in determining which candidate they were going to vote for in the by-election (Cost of Living 10%, Economy Generally 7%, Benefits/Welfare 5%, Pensions 5%, Tax 4%).

When asked about trust in the different parties on the main issues:

Despite running neck-and-neck in vote share, Labour leads on trust in all key issues except immigration, where Reform UK holds a narrow edge.

On the NHS, Labour is well ahead (33%), while the Conservatives are trusted by only 7%.

On the cost of living, Labour is ahead (25%) with Reform second (16%).

Reform UK leads over Labour on immigration (26% vs. 24%), which reflects the party’s strong alignment with voter concern on this issue. Conservatives trail at just 5%, while 23% trust none of the parties.

When asked what would most increase their trust in politicians respondents were much less interested in action on immigration compared to other actions:

Accessing NHS care more quickly (59.5%)

Fewer pensioners struggling to make ends meet (48.7%)

Big businesses paying tougher penalties for breaking the rules like tax dodging or pollution (42.7%)

Local services improving where I live (e.g., public transport, bin collection, community support) (40.7%)

Feeling that young people now have more opportunities for a brighter future (39.9%)

Having more money in their household each month (39.2%)

Seeing immigration numbers fall came seventh, with 37%

After last-night's nailbiter by-election, here's our Chief Exec Matthew on where voters are feeling the hurt, and why the gains aren't making up for it (yet):
