We know because former high profile MSPs told us so in a series of “exit interviews”.

Why are the Right trying to stop people from joining the army? 🇬🇧🪖

Soldiers, sailors and airmen are disproportionately white, working-class men. But are they now turning against the military? Who is behind it? Why is it gaining traction? And what can be done about it? 🧵👇

1/ The Left has forgotten how to dream.

Trump wants flying cars, Musk wants to populate Mars etc. Meanwhile, we too often just offer to make things less worse.

[IPPR @IPPR]

The two £36m donations to Reform announced this month are not an isolated phenomenon, but the most dramatic example yet of a longer-term shift towards British parties relying on very large individual donors. 🧵

Young people shouldn't have to rely on a 'postcode lottery' to access employment opportunities.
Our recent report found that regions with less suitable opportunities for young people also tend to have higher NEET rates.
