Done a long Twitter thread on it which I will post

Adjusting for education, age and density interactions plus job occupation there’s not much else going on; except for 2 things. Welsh speaking areas of wales, and Liberal Democrat challenge areas (which applies +15 to their vote). Reason behind latter more to do with non conformism / Methodism

Completely agree. Being able to do nice things without being super rich really is the acid test

😂

It’s in the telegraph, the national, GB news, the canary. I think Ben’s point is largely correct though - we don’t have a equally politically loaded town square since early Twitter and we’re all poorer for it

Clearly not a reference to every single person so I’ve deleted the comment. But the selection is interesting. Organically not much happened which is bens point.

Really enjoyed your piece

Thanks Richard

Sorry - We’ve got polling on what people *actually do* re community and it’s rather complicated. Study released end of the year!

Yup agreed MICs finding similar to our own. But reform voters aren’t necessarily less community minded. Was responding to the other person - not your comment

This simply isn’t true and not validated by any data.

We don’t ask people using that word - we use less esoteric language (see the blog)

The UK is in a bad place; but it seems campaigners across the spectrum are starting to piece together what might fix our country. Agency.

The global public affairs firm Edelman found this in their global trust tracking and found the U.K. to be toxic and world beating in its levels of grievance.

Once you realise agency is low in Britain you realise how many things suffer from the lack it - growth, productivity, accountability, positivity. At the heart of our political problems is a culture of grievance so wide it captures some of the luckiest people alive
