Notably, c.1 in 10 describe themselves as having an 'other' identity.
Here are the 2018 results 👇

There has been a significant shift among #Protestant respondents towards having a more exclusively British identity.
That said, the proportion saying that their identity is (at least) mainly British has remained stable after a boost in 2017.

The biggest change has been among those with 'No Religion'.
Big drop in 2018 in proportion of this group saying that they are equally #British & #Irish.
Potential contributing factors: lack of #devolution & #Brexit.
More analysis needed!
