Pleased to have this out today with @steveakehurst.bsky.social, discussing @persuasionuk.bsky.social's work on climate salience and public attitudes. I'm really pleased with the piece, do give it a read:
"A very strong speech in the sense that it was very self confident... a strong performance overall".
Our director @steveakehurst.bsky.social discussed Kemi Badenoch's conference speech on BBC radio earlier:
As Steve outlines below, we have new research out today.
For those who prefer paragraphs to graphs when it comes to taking in information, I've written about them here for @politicshome.bsky.social.
With some caveats, they're very good for Andy Burnham:
NEW: How does Burnham’s conference speech land with voters when they see it it?
In short, very well it seems. A thread on some new video testing of the PM’s speech among voters by @persuasionuk.bsky.social
Top line findings and some caveats below! 🧵👇
NEW: With the first day of Labour conference upon us, here are a few random interesting things i've noticed in @persuasionuk.bsky.social polling recently. Featuring: the Andy Burnham vibe emporium, the cost of living blame game and north vs south.
More details of our survey of party leaders' popularity and the public's priorities here:
Our polling is in today's @mirror.co.uk:
Pleased to be in @opendemocracy.net discussing @persuasionuk.bsky.social's work assessing what messages work against Reform and why the summer of financial scandals has caught up to the party.
NEW: How did the summer heatwaves and wildfires change attitudes to climate and Net Zero, if at all?
A short thread on analysis of tracker polling now summer is winding down. 🧵 (for @persuasionuk.bsky.social with @yougov.co.uk)
Holborn & St Pancras gut take, fwiw: Should be a fairly safe Labour hold, but Polanski adds a big chaos factor. Without the credible threat of Reform, Labour will need to find a way to up the stakes. Greens will need to settle on a few wedge issues. Bit more on each of these 👇🧵
I'm in PoliticsHome, talking about Persuasion's work on the electoral calculations at play when it comes to further oil and gas licenses.
Our director @steveakehurst.bsky.social is in @politicshome.bsky.social in advance of the Clacton by-election this week.
