@StewartWood Probably apocryphal. Nobody has found the source. But Bevan did tell the Institute of Almoners in July 1948 that echoes would reverberate throughout Whitehall every time a maid [sic] kicked over a bucket in a hospital ward, which amounts to the same thing.

1 day to go until #TBCLecture2024!

We'll be welcoming leaders from schools, HE, charities and philanthropy for an engaging evening of discussion on social mobility and higher education.

As we all know, NE-02 could be THE critical electoral vote in the end. New poll: Harris 50%, Trump 42%.

[Ivor Crewe @IMCrewe]

Warm congratulations Calum. Absolutely delighted for you - and the fortunate people of Bicester and Woodstock!

@ElectionMapsUK @Savanta_UK The change figures dont cancel each other out, or get close to it. Could Savanta explain?

@OwenWntr @wethinkpolling @TheEconomist Late question - but have any other constituency polls been published, so far, other than the March Survation poll of Godalming & Ash?

Two important facts have been completely lost in the discussion about international students and whether their numbers should be reduced (again). 1/3

[Will Hutton @williamnhutton]

Universities are perfectly capable of handling student protest without being hauled into Number 10 Downing Street for a dressing down from the Prime Minister. They know the rules and how to walk the tightrope on the right to protest. It is just performative politics at its worst.

@PJDunleavy Why Patrick?

[Ivor Crewe @IMCrewe]

@Survation What is the point of asking this question?

There aren't that many of us Jews. I'm related to quite a few of them. Not a single Jewish person has ever said to me they are frightened of Sadiq Khan. Or even mildy concerned, as Jews, even if they dislike his policies on ULEZ or whatever.

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

This is a terrific read….

[Ivor Crewe @IMCrewe]

@Samfr The low ranking of housing (only 1% above Brexit) is perhaps more surprising.

@PolProfSteve And Heath consistently trailed Wilson by a considerable margin in 1970 but went on to win.

@AlastairMeeks @Samfr Age + education differences in determination to vote compared with earlier mid-term periods - 2013, 2008 etc.

In 1997 2m Tories switched directly to Labour - a record. Today 2.5m say they would do so. The big story this month is not just the Tory collapse but Labour's recovery. See my analysis for @TheNewEuropean https://t.co/muiPbCBRSS

@radioriley @JohnRentoul Havel - who accelerated the separation of Slovakia from the Czech Republic.

Very informative thread about focus groups and polling…
