In this episode of The Opinion Brief, we dive into the data behind the shifting tectonic plates of British politics. From a Reform UK lead in the polls to the "third rail" debate over cutting welfare to fund defence, we break down what the public actually thinks.

In this episode:

• The Mandelson Scandal: Why the public sees it as a "rigged system" and what it means for Keir Starmer’s perceived strength.
• National Voting Intention: Reform UK hits 27%, moving 5 points ahead of the Conservatives.
• Defence vs. Welfare: Would the public sacrifice the triple lock pension to fund the military?
• Elections Deep Dive: MRP model projections for the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Senedd.
• The "Milk" Index: How your choice of milk (Oat vs. Cow) predicts your vote.

In the first-ever episode of The Opinion Brief, Luke Tryl (UK Director of More In Common), plus Rhiannon McQuone and Louis O'Geran dive into the data behind Britain’s changing political landscape.

We explore the latest MRP polling results which suggest a seismic shift in UK politics, with Reform UK and the Green Party challenging the traditional status quo. Why is the "social contract" feeling broken for both graduates and the working class? Plus, we discuss the surprising public consensus on banning social media for under-16s and smartphones in schools.

In this episode:

• The "Reform UK Plateau": Is Nigel Farage’s support peaking?
• The Green Wave: Why students and women are flocking to Zack Polanski’s party.
• The MRP Deep Dive: 16 Cabinet ministers (including David Lammy and Wes Streeting) on the brink.
• The Marmite Test: What your toast spread says about your voting intention.
