While some of the work of furthering connection and rebuilding community sits with government and policy makers, everyone has a role to play in it. Every year our friends at the @jocoxfoundation.bsky.social organise the Great Get Together as a powerful moment of community connection.

More in Common UK @moreincommonuk.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Yet despite much coverage of divided communities in recent times, Britons tend to think the country is about as divided as it was ten years ago. Only a quarter think more divided, with one in five saying it’s more united. We may not be going backwards but more needs to be done to take us forward.

More in Common UK @moreincommonuk.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

While intergenerational connection is strong fewer than half of Britons regularly interact with people with different political views than them.

More in Common UK @moreincommonuk.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Meanwhile as more people rent rather than own their own homes the research suggests more needs to be done to help renters feel connected.

110

More in Common UK @moreincommonuk.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Older people are much more likely to feel connected than younger people and more likely to say they can turn to neighbours for help. Nearly 2 in 5 young people cite anxiety or lack of confidence as a barrier to connecting with their community as much as they would like.

More in Common UK @moreincommonuk.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

We find that while there remains strong desire for connection, 30% of Britons think their connection to local community has weakened over past 10 years, with those who are financially struggling most likely to feel disconnected. We risk community connection becoming the preserve of the most affluent

This week two of the organisations that were established following Jo’s death @jocoxfoundation.bsky.social and More in Common have come together to look at how we have met that promise of connection.

More in Common UK @moreincommonuk.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Following Jo’s murder her family, friends, colleagues but also total strangers responded by promising to take forward the words of Jo’s maiden speech that “We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us” and doing more to realise the power of community and connection.

3 in 4 say Britain's best days are behind us. The most common description of the country is 'Broken' & 53% think the next generation will have a worse life than our parents. What do Brits think has gone wrong? How do they want to fix it? And who are the 7 new tribes of Britain?

This anniversary is an opportunity to recommit ourselves to honouring her memory through our work. Jo’s murder and the murder of lawmakers everywhere, including this weekend in the United States, are tragedies for our democracies.

More in Common UK @moreincommonuk.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

In the wake of that murder, More in Common was established. We take our name from Jo’s maiden speech in Parliament where she said: “We have more in common than that which divides us”.

Nine years ago today, Jo Cox MP was murdered while she was representing and engaging with people in her constituency in Yorkshire in the North of England.

🆕 🧵 @moreincommonuk.bsky.social and New Britain research for @neunion.bsky.social finds Gen Z Britons aged 16-24 think social media has become more addictive, more negative and less safe for young people in last 5 years and by 3-1 they think social media does more harm than good for under 16s.

More in Common UK @moreincommonuk.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

84% of Gen Z admit they bypassed parental restrictions on phone use, mostly by staying up late, but also for 1 in 5 through secret accounts or devices parents didn’t monitor.

More in Common UK @moreincommonuk.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Over half of Gen Z say getting distracted by social media stops them going to sleep, nearly half feel anxious without their phone and 2/3s reach for their phone when bored or uncomfortable in social settings.

100

More in Common UK @moreincommonuk.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

1 in 10 Gen Z Britons say it would be impossible to quit social media, 2/3s would find it at least somewhat difficult. 4 in 5 would try keep their kids off social media for as long as possible.46% say their parents are worse at managing their relationships with phones than them

100

More in Common UK @moreincommonuk.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Those who got social media at a younger age are more likely to regret not waiting longer. Half of Gen Z Brits wish they’d spent last time on screens during childhood and a third wish they’d spent had waited longer before getting social media.

More in Common UK @moreincommonuk.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

In fact most Gen Z Britons think that life would be better off for young people under the age of 16 if they didn’t have access to social media and rate it as the top harm to those young people’s mental health.

More in Common UK @moreincommonuk.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Over half of Gen Z say that smart phones and social media negatively affect their sleep and attention span. 4 in 10 say it negatively affects their self esteem, mental health and work/studies even as 2/3s tend to say it improves their relationships with friends.
