Starmer regrets "an island of strangers". When we @Ipsos_in_the_UK took a snapshot of community cohesion last year, we found Brits seem to get on with their neighbours. And if anything, community cohesion is stronger in places with more immigrants.

This morning, the government launched the #AI Opportunities Action Plan. The UK faces significant challenges in public service delivery, and AI offers exciting potential solutions. However, an evidence-based approach to implementation that builds public trust is crucial.
A new and fascinating report on how the public see AI (I may be biased!), highlighting how complex opinion is. People don't really seem to have a firm view of AI itself, but they are worried about how it might be used.
NEW REPORT: Public Trust in AI
For the UK public, AI is seen as more of a risk than an opportunity when it comes to national security, wider society, the economy and public services.
Let's take a deeper look...🧵

🚨New from @IpsosUK in partnership with @FT . Are public services in deep deep trouble? Yes! 3 in 4 say public services have got worse, including 2019 Conservative voters.
All focus in tomorrow's budget is on tax cuts, and less on what the public actually wants - public services that are working for them.
Here's a glimpse of the public mood in 5 charts @IpsosUK
🚨NEW @IpsosUK/@EveningStandard Political monitor shows lowest ever Cons vote share recorded (since 1978):
📉20% for Cons lower than previous low of 22% under Major in 1994
👎83% dissatisfied with govt
❌-54 net satisfaction for Sunak (record low)

So what results do you get if you ask Sir Humphrey's polling questions? @IpsosUK decided to try it. We showed 1,000 Brits his pro national service poll and 1,000 his anti national service poll. Results:
Sample A: 45% in favour of national service, 38% say no.
Sample B: 48% oppose national service, 34% say no.
What does it all mean? Well, obviously we wouldn't ever do this poll for real, wording is too leading & there are rules about transparency of q wording / ordering.
But it does show the importance of question wording, watching the detail and looking at more than just one poll when you want to understand what the public really think on an issue. Especially in election year.

Great to have been involved with this one - some fascinating insights from leading experts on an important topic. We hope it adds to the debate. @Reema__Patel@RacheP2410 and others!
🚨🧵NEW @IpsosUK for @britishfuture tracking attitudes to #immigration since 2015.
In the latest wave, we see the highest levels of government dissatisfaction on handling the issue of the series so far - inc. majority of Conservative voters.../1
