The only England captain to *ever* lift a major trophy on foreign soil.

Oh captain, my captain.

Really pleased with this research, which suggests that awareness and those following the Women's Euros continues to grow from 2022. Interest among public isn't yet at peak - suggesting public attention could increase further if the Lionesses win tonight. ⚽️⚽️⚽️ ⬇️

Ipsos in the UK@ipsosintheuk.bsky.social · last yr.

📣 Awareness of the Women’s Euros in Britain is at an all-time high - but the conversation is evolving beyond the pitch. Our recent polling shows that 82% of Britons are aware of the 2025 Women’s Euros, up from 75% at a similar stage in 2022.

Welcome back to voting intention polling, Ipsos.

This is shocking. Pure totalitarianism from DHS, and also blatantly unconstitutional. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

How My Reporting on the Columbia Protests Led to My Deportation

As an Australian who wrote about the demonstrations while on campus, I gave my phone a superficial clean before flying to the U.S. I underestimated what I was up against.

MPs are set to debate the decriminalisation of abortion later today. Only half (50%) of the British public say they know the law as it currently stands - that women can face criminal prosecution for having an abortion beyond 24-week limit with consent of a doctor. (1/3)

Love this. Some things that strike me every time leave the UK: 1. Vegetarian / vegan food. Mad how difficult it is elsewhere. 2. Roads / driving safety 3. Clean, free & broadly decent green spaces 4. Free museums 5. Lack of wild / scary looking animals kicking about

Helene von Bismarck@helenebismarck.bsky.social · last yr.

So,as a little thought-experiment, tell me something about the United Kingdom that works well and is actually quite impressive. I am not trying to sound like some boosterish politician. I just genuinely believe that making people believe that all is lost is a convenient pretext for shady characters.

Ahead of the #SpendingReview let’s explore what @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social polling tells us of the public mood and what they want to see. 1/ First of all, economic optimism is weak. 63% expect economy to worsen in the next year. Pretty poor by historic standards.

Was particularly struck by our @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social findings in webinar today on this question. Public (but in particular Con and Reform voters) genuinely believe there’s money to be found by cutting waste / efficiencies to put into NHS & defence.

Sam Freedman@samfr.bsky.social · last yr.

And if you ask about this in focus groups etc people will say there is a lot of waste to cut that could mean more spending without taxes. Because politicians/papers have kept saying that for years.

Watching @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social, @theifs.bsky.social & @resfoundation.bsky.social webinar on Spending Review. In context of next week, most interesting (of our new) research shows public priorities. Many priority areas for public (housing, borders) are in depts not yet 'settled' with HMT.

If you read Playbook this morning, you’ll see @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social Spending Review webinar (with IFS & @resfoundation.bsky.social) is driving the day. We’ll be sharing new polling of public’s views on public finances & preferences for spending (and cuts).

We (@ipsosintheuk.bsky.social) have our webinar tomorrow with IFS ahead of spending review with some exclusive polling with goes into this in a bit more detail, specifically on choices facing Chancellor on 11 June…

Everything you need to know about the British voting public

This year we saw a huge conversation about young men & modern masculinity. The debate was often shaped by ill-informed takes - so @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social & @politicsjoe.bsky.social have partnered to dispel some myths. I'm really proud of what we've found out & shared so far. More to come.

Ipsos in the UK@ipsosintheuk.bsky.social · last yr.

🩵There is a disconnect between what young men think women want in a partner, and what young women say they want. Only 39% of 16-24 year old men think a sense of humour was important, compared with 60% of 16-24 year old women. 🩵 bit.ly/43Hfq27

Young men and women have very different priorities when it comes to dating. @keiranpedley.bsky.social sat down with @politicsjoe.bsky.social to discuss our dive into modern masculinities. Click here for the full findings 👉 bit.ly/43Hfq27

Deeply, deeply worrying news emerging from Liverpool city centre today where there are reports from police that a car has hit a number of pedestrians during the LFC parade My colleagues are finding out as much as they can and reporting it here www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

I do wonder if this is the moment, now that much of the electorate genuinely consider Farage a PM candidate, that the response goes from “thats nice”, to “okay, how are you going to pay for that?”

In among rumours swirling about Con Party leadership, worth being reminded about how the public feel about Boris Johnson. @keiranpedley.bsky.social tells @kevinschofied.bsky.social “any comeback would need him to deal with the legacy of partygate and immigration numbers under his watch.”

New @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social research in @dominicpenna.bsky.social's great newsletter: Shows Badenoch fallen to lowest public favourability (-32) in @ipsosgroup.bsky.social poll since becoming leader.

happy one year anniversary of me getting something extremely wrong at work guys x

Really good reporting from @londoncentric.media & @jim.londoncentric.media on the Battle for Brockwell Park in their latest newsletter. Get the strong sense that people attempting to block Mighty Hoopla et al would simply rather we had a London without any kind of noise / fun.

Readers of Off Air with @bbclaurak.bsky.social will find @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social exclusive polling on the upcoming UK-EU summit. Laura's point is one that @keiranpedley.bsky.social will be making in a couple of places over the weekend - for the public, the Brexit conversation has moved on.

At @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social, we understand public opinion on the biggest issues. We also do work unrelated to Celeb Traitors. We shared our research on who @thetraitors.bsky.social viewers think will win with @scottygb.bsky.social, who discussed them on BBC Breakfast this morning.

EXCL: Polling company Ipsos have given me exclusive polling on who the public think will win Celebrity Traitors. When the line-up was leaked, they polled the public. Stephen Fry they saw most likely to win (16%), followed by Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross and Kate Garraway (6% each)

If you read @stephenkb.bsky.social's excellent newsletter this AM, you'll see some exclusive insight from @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social. Our analysis suggests people in Reform won councils this month have on avg lower quality of life / access to good jobs compared to national avg and LD councils. 1/3

The public have a more nuanced view on levels of immigration than they're sometimes given credit for.

This chart is from @britishelectionstudy.com @jamesdgriffiths.bsky.social, me and Ed Fieldhouse. You can see that 2024 Reform voters mainly came from the Conservatives or UKIP in 2015. This has been a story on the right for *ten years* now, unless something very different happened last week.

Want to understand what British public think of tariffs, their impact and doing a deal with US? Fortunately, my colleague @camerongarrett.bsky.social ran through @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social’s polling from several weeks ago. This will likely be seen as a big win and validation for Starmer’s approach.

Cameron Garrett@camerongarrett.bsky.social · last yr.

The UK wakes up in the same situation as (nearly) everyone else when it comes to US tariffs. How is Starmer doing as he walks the tightrope of a strong response without alienating the President? Quick🧵on the latest @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social polling (1/6) www.ipsos.com/en-uk/propor...
