## Resource

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.
