Burnham Begins

In Episode 17 of The Opinion Brief, the More in Common team breaks down the initial shifts in public following Andy Burnham taking office as Prime Minister. We look - exclusively - at the first voting intention polls of the Burnham era, public expectations around the cost of living, the North-South divide, and how the UK public really feels about extreme heatwaves and climate change. Plus, we compare public opinion in 2026 to Gallup polling data from 1952 - looking at class identity and whether Britons still believe political parties offer genuine difference. 📊 Explore all charts and data referenced in this episode: https://moreincommon.org.uk 📩 Have feedback or questions for the team?
