In one sense dramatic: Reform well ahead of Labour on understanding Britain, good team of leaders, and looking out for me - all key qualities of an election winner…but 2029 all to play for - 62% see them as extreme - and as result public still split on who will win - despite Reform polling lead

For all those off to Liverpool. Lowest #Labour vote share since June 2009 . Worst ever rating for a sitting PM since we started on this measure in 1977…. Tories can’t mock - they have worst rating ever measured (since 1976) ….#strangetimes ipsos.com/en-uk/uk-opini…

News: freedom. From MORI in London (now Ipsos in the UK) as a 22-year-old trainee in 1987, ending up as the global CEO of Ipsos across 90 countries in 2021, it’s time to stop! Huge thanks to all the brilliant clients, politicians, and leaders and colleagues, many of whom are now lifelong friends.
