.@bertslide1 and I spent 5 days observing people in Bolton pubs. Why did we do it? And what did we learn?

Our breakout room on green skills kicking off now, with @FernsSue , @annaelspeth_ and Adam Berman

[Jess @Jess_Lister]

We're looking for a policy analyst (our equivalent to a graduate level role) to come and work with me as we expand our higher education portfolio. It will be fast paced and fun! Please do share - happy to discuss more senior roles for the right candidate. https://t.co/aOwKgXqCDs

Or at the very least introduce biodiversity net gain requirements for existing golf courses !

[Sam Dumitriu @Sam_Dumitriu]

New: London has a shortage of homes, but it doesn't have a shortage of golf courses.

In fact, London’s 95 golf courses take up more land than the entire borough of Brent.

Here's the case for building on some of them.

🚨Change to how we run political qualitative research at Public First 🚨

Having spent the last year getting our Immersive Research team up and running in the UK and the US I am absolutely thrilled that we are now publicly launching to clients.

Fans of a) skills policy and b) net zero might be interested in our event next Thursday on tackling the green skills challenge, where we'll be presenting our latest research on young people's attitudes to green jobs - details below! https://t.co/WJbVApotWm

[Simon Evans @DrSimEvans]

Wow OK, so the UK's land sector is now a source, not a sink of greenhouse gas emissions

Needs to be a sink if UK is going to reach net-zero…

What happened? 🧵

[Tim Leunig @timleunig]

7 quarters of falling living standards - something that has not happened since records began almost 70 years ago. Our country is in a deep, deep mess.

[Amy Norman @amye_norman]

Come work with me! Interested in how we use data and opinion research to answer thorny energy + environment political/policy questions? Apply!

Grads welcome, ideally 1-2 years experience.

Fabric Fifth… 🧵

We need to rapidly reduce emissions, lower energy bills as well as deliver comfortable and healthy homes, so where should we be prioritising spending our money in the UK?

[Mike Crowhurst @mikecrowhurst]

As COP28 approaches, we've published a new report for @PrincesTrust which suggests young people’s lack of interest in green jobs could be a serious risk to the UK meeting its Net Zero targets.

https://t.co/yghZ8Vjtk1

A few highlights from our poll:

[Daisy Powell-Chandler @daisymeylands]

New insights into: what skills we lack and how many workers we need to fill new jobs (analysis by @amye_norman); why this is a rational choice from young people based on what they know now; and how much work we must do to change that

[Richard Rigby @Richard_Rigby_]

It's 'Green Careers Week' and @PrincesTrust is working up a landmark report with Public First on young people and the #NetZero workforce. Here is what to expect >

[Simon Evans @DrSimEvans]

Post-truth politics strikes again.

When presented with these official @NSTAuthority figures on the UK's rapidly declining North Sea gas reserves, "a quarter of the party’s MPs (25%) said they did not accept the NSTA’s projections", says @ECIU_UK, based on new polling by @YouGov

[eve andrews @eefandrews]

at the end of august i drove out to nw ohio to interview farmers who are passionate about regenerative practices, but lukewarm on climate change. the visit included a discussion of 'fiddler on the roof' and a lot of corn. my latest for @AmbrookResearch: https://t.co/boxXfeFrG8

[Amy Norman @amye_norman]

Thrilled to see Public First's new report covered by @CharlieCooper8 in @politico this morning.

Alongside @RenewableUK, we've spent the best part of the summer working out how Labour can overcome a key barrier in the way of its 2030 clean power target: grid capacity.
