🌹 New research from @LabourTogether reveals:

💥 Electoral reform would make the most positive impact of any democratic reform - say Labour's key target voters.

📊 Both 'Workington Man' and 'Stevenage Woman' see PR as *more* positive than devolution or Lords reform.

@BBCNews How big was the tree that the cows were rescued from? & did the dog walker escape?

@statsgeekclare @Jean__Fisch @AdeleGroyer @KarenCutter4 @Actuarialeye NZ's poor housing stock of drafty single-glazed wooden bungalows with dodgy insulation & optional black mould potentially trumps E&W's as a factor but younger population maybe copes better?

Mounting expedition to reach flavour-starved UK where millions survive only on boiled food. If I make it past the airport checkpoints, I hope to meet the brave African expatriates helping the country emerge from international isolation, and find inspiring local stories of hope.

As the IMH has just reported “Rising corporate profits account for almost half the increase in Europe’s inflation over the past two years”

In that case might we stop all the talk about wage-price spirals and instead talk about restoring fair pay? https://t.co/kFjdAFeY1t

The hunt for five(wealthy) people in the Titanic sub is full of drama but this👇 raises questions about why it receives greater prominence than the sinking of a migrant boat in the Med with an estimated 750(poor) aboard, 81 confirmed dead so far.

So once more for the people at the back. This story is fake news. There was no child who wanted to identify as a cat. The article itself admits it. The "cat" element was introduced by one of the two students winding up their teacher.

Incredible first hand testimony - in the additional evidence bundle - from a No10 official how there were no rules enforced but they were told to behave in front of the cameras

Now in @apsrjournal: in a study of >800 politicians in four countries led by @jbpilet, we find that politicians massively overestimate how conservative citizens are, on a long list of policy issues. /1

6 years on, a reminder that political decisions caused the Grenfell tragedy and 72 innocent people paid the fatal price.
