People aren’t as good at remembering how they voted as you might think. As @anthonyjwells shows, this matters when some pollsters weight by past vote but have to base that data on how respondents say they voted years after the event.
yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
For instance, YouGov gathered our data on how people voted at the 2017 general election in June-July 2017. We asked a group of those voters the same question in July 2019 – Labour voters are much less likely to remember that that’s how they voted. yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
Such false recall can have a knock-on effect on current voting intention. As the chart shows, VI weighted by the answer people gave in 2017 shows a small Brexit Party lead, but weighted by the 2019 data (ie the false recall data) shows a small Labour lead yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…

"Left-wing" vs "right-wing": a categorisation beloved by politicians and journalists, but the public just don't fit neatly into those categories. yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
For a start, the general public clearly don't understand "left-wing" and "right-wing". Just half of people can identify even the most stereotypically left- or right-wing policies as being so.
Here are the 10 most recognisably left-wing views according to the public...
1. Minimum wage is too low (53%)
2. Trade unions are a force for good (52%)
3. Greater redistribution from rich to poor (51%)
(see chart for full list)

Half of patient-facing NHS staff say they're not adequately trained to spot a victim of domestic abuse, our new Healthcare Professionals survey shows. This goes for 52% of hospital staff and 48% of GPs yougov.co.uk/topics/health/…
26% of patient-facing NHS staff say they've not received training to identify a victim of domestic abuse, and do not see it as their role to do so. This is the opinion among 30% of hospital staff and 25% of staff in GP surgeries yougov.co.uk/topics/health/…
Only 36% of NHS staff in patient-facing roles have received what they see as adequate training for supporting victims of domestic abuse – almost two thirds less than the proportion who feel able to identify a victim yougov.co.uk/topics/health/…

Q
@literallyjustq
A little thread, which I may come back to, for all those #technophobes who blame rise in #suicide on #socialmedia.

First: legit, what rise?
Second: The actual experts do not agree with you, and your fear-mongering is likely causing more harm than good.
cf. Thomas, K, and Gunnell, D. (2010). Suicide in England and Wales 1861–2007: a time-trends analysis. International Journal of Epidemiology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2010, Pages 1464–1475.
So, first the data, from #UK (above) and elsewhere (below).

Clearly if this epidemic was *caused* by a *single* factor it would permeate all societies with social media.

The people of Britain...

Voted to Leave the EU in 2016...

..... and then in 2017 removed Government’s legislative majority to achieve it.

And by 2018 majority in polls* both back idea Brexit wrong, & Remain in a 2nd Ref,

but don’t in 2019 back actually holding that 2nd Ref.
I mean, I know people like to moan at MPs - but if you tell the Government to Brexit, and then takeaway its majority, and tell pollsters a majority would vote Remain, but majority also against having a Referendum - its going to be messy.
Evidence for * on polling above from @britainelects
Not a single poll has had Leave ahead since last April - the only one in a year and a half. Only three polls since General Election 2017 have had a leave lead 2 of them in June 2017, 60 for Remain, now +9 avg in past few weeks:

Okay I'm gonna make a thread with like a report of what I noticed throughout the day and probably update it in dribs and drabs, a lot of it will be repeating what everyone else has said though lol
So like we went to the opening bit and it was just boring speech after boring speech but then someone noticed that torarai were sitting there like so close to us and I just glanced over and saw them in person and my heart rate went up by like 200%
The intros went on for ages and torarai were practically last so I was fidgeting the whole time waiting for them lmao
But when they went on stage I think they spoke a bit in English? 'thank you for inviting us?' or something like that. It was cute

Gang. We've got a serious problem that is not being reported. Bear in mind, this thread mostly is re:the one state I have info for in this matter. & that is #Montana. It is HIGHLY likely that most other states have this problem

Here we go. 1/24
Direct quote from the LEPC Yellowstone County May 10, 2018 minutes: "Regional
Haz-Mat Response Team in Billings used to rely on State and Federal funding but
this source has dried up. Keeping team together with local funding that may only
last two more years. ..." 2/24
"...May need to limit response area due to funding limitations.
Need legislation for increased funding."
