New blog shows how missing data & assumptions distort findings with real risks for policy & funding.

What does the Greens’ victory in Gorton and Denton mean for the future of British politics? Our panel responds Greens first, Reform second, Labour trailing – and the Tories losing their deposit. This felt like a rejection of the status quo

'The problems are real – but the solutions Reform offered were not. Its politics relies on fear and scapegoating, and the racism feels barely disguised'
