Fantastic night at the launch of our new @Moreincommon_ Shattered Britain report and our new British Seven Segments. Thanks to Kemi, Ed and Richard for their speeches and reflections on the findings and everyone who came along!

[Conleth Burns @BurnsConleth]

Do have a read through this brilliant report published by the team today and find out what segment you are! ⬇️

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

In 2020 @Moreincommon_ launched the British 7 Segments. After a pandemic, major global conflicts, political upheaval, cost of living crisis, changes in work/social/information habits it’s time to update them for 2025. Here’s an intro to our new tribes of Britain (Quiz link next)

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

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?

[Conleth Burns @BurnsConleth]

Great thread here and research from my colleague @chris_annous on the green opportunity for Lib Dems on the environment

[Chris Annous @chris_annous]

Could going hard on environmental issues help the Liberal Democrats retain the Blue Wall at the next election?
Our new report, based on one of the most in-depth analyses of Lib Dem voter attitudes to the environment, suggests it could.

A🧵of the key charts 👇🏼

Great thread here by my colleague @Anouschka_Rajah on our new research out today on public’s expectations for criminal justice reform! Have a read ⬇️

[Anouschka Rajah @Anouschka_Rajah]

Gauke sentencing review today comes as 2 in 3 Brits say they want major changes to the criminal justice system. So do proposed reforms address concerns or deepen the public's loss of faith? Explored in new More in Common research ⬇️

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

Strangers in our own country? New research finds 50% of Brits feel disconnected and 44% sometimes feel like strangers - but it's a mistake to tie that just to immigration, with the cost of living, social media, decline of town centres & the legacy of covid big drivers.

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

Today @Moreincommon_ releases a deep dive into Progressive Activists, the most liberal/left leaning segment of the public. It looks at who this highly engaged group are, what they believe but also why their approach maybe leading to backlash against progressive causes.

[Conleth Burns @BurnsConleth]

Good to chat to @whazell for his New Year long-read on Reform’s recent membership rise

[Will Hazell @whazell]

Reform is on a roll with its rising membership - but will its new members actually do the graft to help it win elections? My @theipaper long read with @DavidParsley50, with analysis from @ProfTimBale @BurnsConleth @Moreincommon_ https://t.co/qkkHmdkObM

[Conleth Burns @BurnsConleth]

New year, new you, new job? Apply below - deadline Sunday evening!

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

Exceptionally proud of the More in Common UK team’s work this year. Merry Christmas, Here’s to 2025!

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

Polls close in Ireland shortly but do know too little about our closest neighbour? 93% of Brits say they don’t know who the current Taoiseach is, and of those who guessed many got it wrong. Given a list of political parties in Ireland 8% said the Taoiseach was from Fine Gael

[Conleth Burns @BurnsConleth]

Fascinating work here from the team who’ve spent the last few months understanding the complexities and nuances of public opinion on assisted dying ahead of the second reading on Friday. Well worth a read ⬇️

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

🧵@Moreincommon_ have spent the past few months polling & talking to people about assisted dying, we've shared our findings in today's Sunday Times. Speaking to people on both sides has been some of the most moving opinion work I've been involved in. https://t.co/Dx2uKjYjLT

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

We’re recruiting a @Moreincommon_ UK Events & Operations associate to manage our programme of webinars, research presentations & party conference events, as well as supporting project management across our work. If it sounds like it’s for you apply here! https://t.co/vmdr73V3dA

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

🧵There's a line of thought that Trump's victory means progressive causes are doomed in the court of public opinion. I don't think that's true, but I do think it shows more thought needs to be given to what ought to be a tautology but infact often isn't - inclusive progressivism

[Chris Annous @chris_annous]

🧵NEW: There's been a lot of debate about Black History Month and how Britain should teach Black History.

But what Black History do Brits know and what are their attitudes towards Black History overall?

Our new @Moreincommon_ polling provides some interesting data👇🏼

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

🚨🧵 Failure to tackle hardship could be as damaging to Labour as the Lib Dems u-turn on tuition fees, new @Moreincommon_ research for @jrf_uk shows. Those who voted Labour in July have high expectations the Govt will tackle hardship, but many think things are going the wrong way

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

🧵We've got a fantastic programme of events at Conservative Party Conference. Discussing everything from Climate Change, to the European Court of Rights, to Home building and Security. All our events are open to everyone. Here's the full list ⬇️ https://t.co/jBSQIXdQKf

[Conleth Burns @BurnsConleth]

Looking forward to this tomorrow! From 11-12 at RIBA North, Gallery 2!
