63% of people think net migration rose in the last 12 months
8% of people think it fell

Yet it fell by 400,000 in 2024 vs 2023
[It is falling further in 2025]

Public service broadcasters are doing a core part of their job on this topic badly if that 8% is not closer to 30% at least

As several people have asked me to post my syllabus, here it is. Note that it can be, and often is, changed a bit during the semester.

In this special episode, hosts Dr Emma Peplow and Dr Alex Lock were joined by three guests, including former MPs Anne Milton and Gisela, Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston.

Together they spoke about political and historical interviewing, and the reality of being an MP.
