As someone who loves a good chart (and spends a lot of time making them), it's great to get the full FT data viz treatment for our latest culture wars study - even if the data is revealing some deeply worrying signs about where we're heading as a country... on.ft.com/3WFCBH1

Lonely this Christmas: more young adults to spend the day solo 1 in 11 people aged between 21 and 34 will not have company, compared with just 1% in 1969

This is a good eg, but nothing beats that lockdown poll that showed one in five supported a permanent/indefinite ban on leaving home after 10pm “without good reason”

Such important work from @michael-sanders.bsky.social and his team - great example of research with real-world impact.

Follows on from similarly valuable work they’ve just done on reducing use of force by police: www.kcl.ac.uk/news/police-...

Hostage to Fortune In for a penny, in for a dollar. My predictions for Tuesday

This prediction blog by @benansell.bsky.social is very good, although I am biased by it chiming both with my own very uninformed instincts and what I would like to happen. open.substack.com/pub/benansel...
