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.
