Fantastic workshop! As my facial expression reveals, I am not used to embracing positivity, but the energy was infectious! Lots of great ideas in the pipeline here

I joined with the wonderful @pathwithanr and @IPPR for this analysis of voter turnout in the UK elections, and our findings were pretty stark. Not only was turnout historically low but the gaps between different kinds of places in the UK are clear. 🧵https://t.co/NDAVTgZKrj

"The reason the Tories stand on the brink of a historic defeat is a slow, rolling competence shock that has alienated voters across the spectrum, not just a few months of insurgency on their right flank." 👏@jburnmurdoch https://t.co/YfrOMZorTm via @ft

Do we need to ‘complete the map’ of English devolution top-down? Or embrace asymmetry & empower local communities to collaborate on bespoke regional solutions? @ProfCatDurose

Overall, we* find that trust in "representative" institutions has been declining by ~10 p.p. among democracies since 1990, but trust in "implementing" institutions has been rising!

At today's Reform UK Manifesto event Farage said: "We’ve put up with the minds of...children, from a young age right through university…being poisoned”, raising the question: does studying at university cause attitude change?

My research suggests the answer is: no, not really.

The article by @lawrencemckay94 @drjennings @ProfStoker now appears in our @jepp_journal SI 'Regional Inequality & Political Discontent in Europe'. It shows that perceptions of geographic bias are widespread across five European democracies.
