Fascinating data on the rise of political distrust. I do wish that people would note that Gerry Stoker and I first revived this old Gallup question in 2014 (and liberated the historical poll data!)...

67% of Britons see politicians as primarily out for themselves

Out for themselves: 67%
Out for their party: 19%
Out for their country: 4%

I understand (though I do not accept) the government's case for remaining on X.

What is totally indefensible is the *exclusive* presence of many MPs & departments on that site.

They are handing a monopoly of key government communications to a site that's increasingly run by & for the radical right

Elon Musk is a radicalised extremist openly championing the most racist faction who would deport the Foreign Secretary, the Leader of the Opposition, the Justice Secretary and the last Prime Minister

The govt silence about such a level of extremism is craven: infinite tolerance of racial hatred

The rise of hate and extremism online should have been addressed by government and parliament a year ago in the aftermath of the riots. There is complacency across the political spectrum, and remarkably most MPs remain on X despite the way its owner and algorithm operate. Wake up!

I wonder whether there is a (negative) correlation between fear of disease spread and anti-vax sentiments
pewresearch.org
Six-in-ten adults across 25 nations surveyed say the spread of infectious diseases is a major threat to their country. Concern about this issue is generally higher in middle-income countries than high-income ones.
A chart with a list of countries and horizontal green bars showing that 6 in 10 across surveyed countries say infectious diseases are a major threat

An exhausting but elating day at #SoProud #SouthamptonPride collecting a huge cloud of names that make up the web of kin that have made our community who we are. It's so special to talk to people about the people in their lives and imaginations and celebrate all the diverse influences.
Image of Milou and I - two white people with brown hair, both wearing glasses and blue UoS t-shirts that say "bringing research to life roadshow" - standing at our table with a largely blank piece of paper on it An image showing the same piece of paper but this time it is covered in names and drawings in lots of different coloured pens and handwriting
