But Savanta's @chrishopkins92.bsky.social warned against reading too much into the contest for any party: “Reform’s popularity isn’t necessarily because they’re seen as the ‘true right’ but is more down to them being de-risked as voters see the Conservatives and Labour as so bad.”

Jeremy Corbyn's net favourability rating in @savanta.bsky.social polling was -26 when we last asked it (late July 2024).

An honour to be invited to the annual Huntington’s Disease Association awards 2025. Very inspirational afternoon meeting so many amazing volunteers and fundraisers alongside all from #TeamHDA

Roman ruins and shit football played in front of next to nobody? Cartagena is like a sunnier-climes Colchester.

It's been five years since the first Covid lockdown And now 3/4 of the public say they're MORE or JUST AS likely to support full lockdown measures to prevent the spread of a pandemic as they were in 2020 @savanta.bsky.social poll w/ @politicshome.bsky.social 👇 www.politicshome.com/news/article...

This does seem like it, though. The “it’ll be alright on the night” strategy shows an admirable level of self-confidence, but feels very misguided

Today is the first working day I haven’t been dog-sitting Betty for over a week and I’ve spent a disproportionate amount of my morning on the Dog’s Trust website

A new Savanta poll for us shows that while supporters of Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens all back British troops being sent to Ukraine as peacekeepers, Reform voters oppose it @chrishopkins92.bsky.social: "any lingering sense that these [Reform supporters] are just Tories in disguise is wrong"

Amateur ice hockey in Essex has played some incredible europop *and* the national anthem. We’re a proper country again

Absolutely gutted that Richard has left Savanta but the work he did with us in a year will have a lasting impact well beyond his tenure. The research world is better for having his communications expertise staying in the sector - Ipsos are very lucky to have him.

Nothing quite like a Super Bowl flyover when it’s being played in a dome

I have written a Haiku in order to vent my frustration on this topic: Please do not move near A historic London pub If you are boring

My mum helpfully reminded me this morning that four years ago I ran 260km in the month of January and this year I've done... what, exactly? She meant it nicely, but jfc the subtext was scathing.

nicely timed intervention from the Mayor

Nacho Football Conference Championship game. Sundays done right.

Alexander is just proof that when you’re playing a game with idiots, it’s irrelevant how clever you are #TheTraitors

David Lammy, hugging Barry Keoghan, getting the badge in. Most wtf moment of 2025 has an early fav

All those normal people engaging with politics, in totally normal ways, like running for political office and hacking the website of your opponent's deputy leader.

Irrespective of what I think will happen, it'll be interesting to see how the bookies would price a Runcorn by-election. Whoever doesn't start as favourite, I'd imagine they'd present some decent value: I'd probably price Labour and Reform as pick'em

Twenty years since I died my hair black in his honour

I spent approximately three months of my adolescence working in a McDonalds and it was comfortably the worst job I've had. Can't say I ever witnessed some of the harassment reported today, but there were certainly some weird dynamics, namely by the sheer number of colleagues that were dating

it’s giving

Think we’re getting at least 10 sets, at least 35 180s, and a 9-darter. This could be immense.

Give away a 98th minute penalty to lose away at Swindon? Can we have 2024 back? #colu

All rational people agree it's a truth self-evident that it's impossible to have a good time on New Year's Eve. The pressure's too immense.

Never seen such faker news and misinformation #Colchester

Gavin and Stacey was perfect. Simple.

Home Alone 2 shits all over Home Alone and it’s not even close

Always struck by the “beyond the M25” bit of Playbook mostly being all foreign affairs

Did sprouts write this?

For a series that started with such negativity and controversy, the BBC pulled out the best series of Strictly ever. Long live public service broadcasting

Annual reminder, this time on Bluesky, that no-one cares about your Spotify Wrapped.

HUGE Lib Dem energy

Can't believe the Oxford Chancellor result, bloody polls. Nobody asked me!!!

Always thought I’d look good in dungarees and with long hair

Chip spice is a being beyond our understanding and comprehension just telling the people of Hull: I got you.

This is going to keep coming up, and while I do think there's an argument to be had, I don't find it surprising that strategists, who want to dominate the landscape with their own messaging and would benefit the most from a polling blackout, are the ones calling for it.

Been on the phone trying to get hold of Colchester United's ticket office for EIGHTEEN MINUTES and might now descend on parliament at the SHEER INJUSTICE

Great evening seeing @matt-forde.bsky.social in Colchester, and a beautiful, spontaneous, standing ovation

What’s an invalid handle and why do I have one, somebody hellllppppp

🔊 "There are high levels of concern about people being put under undue pressure to medically end their life." @emmalevin.bsky.social spoke to @lbcnews.bsky.social on our research suggesting strong public support for assisted dying in different contexts, but also worry about its consequences.

Very, very good to have @claptoncfc.bsky.social over here. Miss it.

All I really want to do on here is post about my holiday, but instead I will give our latest piece on assisted dying public opinion, covered by LBC, and featuring quotes from esteemed colleague @emmalevin.bsky.social, a bit of airtime instead www.lbc.co.uk/news/nearly-...

Spate of new followers usually means two things: Elon’s been up to no good and people have found the pollster list @cwp-weir.bsky.social created. Welcome. Am still just about on holiday, but political polling posts will resume next week. In the meantime, here’s me demolishing some ribs.

Happy election day, America! We’ve just voted for Donald, he’s completely quackers but has plenty of support across the pond #vote

Beginning to look a lot like…

Grab yer coat, Betty

While everyone is freaking out over some poll, I met the coolest guy in the universe

Not officially #RunDisney but we have been for a run at Disney. Warm.
