For #WorldEnergyDay here's the % of Britons who have a favourable view of each type of energy:

Solar - 86%
Offshore wind - 81%
Hydro - 80%
Onshore wind - 76%
Bio-fuels - 75%
Geothermal - 58%
Gas - 40%
Nuclear - 33%
Oil - 23%
Coal - 20%
Shale gas - 14%

yougov.co.uk/topics/science…
Our research shows that Britons have overwhelmingly positive opinions of renewable energy sources - even among those who also have a favourable view of fossil fuels

yougov.co.uk/topics/science…
In good news for clean energy campaigners, most Britons support renewables expansion, and those with favourable views of oil, gas and coal don't support greater use of those resources

Exploring how the Theresa May and Boris Johnson Brexit deals stack up among Brits, we find that while two thirds (64%) think Johnson’s deal is indeed different, only one in ten (10%) think it differs significantly yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
When it comes to whether Boris Johnson’s deal is actually better than the one Theresa May struck, public opinion is split:
- 27% say it is better
- 19% say it is worse
- 25% say it is neither yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
Asked a straight choice between which of the Brexit deals they would prefer, Brits favour Boris Johnson’s by 37% to 17%. Almost half (46%) can’t pick between them, however yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…

And we're off. Govt motion #2 for a General Election. Boris out of the gate with a reference to the Speaker always acting in what the *Speaker* judges to be in the National Interest. In Parliamentary terms, that's a low blow.
"Corbyn first Leader of the Opposition in history to show his confidence in the Government by declining to have an election with a view to removing the government." Corbyn doing the usual attempt to kill Boris with a glare, clearly not kept up with Sith training.
"The Surrender Act has now passed; he's done his level best to wreck this country's chances of a successful election, by his own logic he must now back an election." Entire Labour front bench avoiding looking across at the Tories. Amazing how many directions a minister can gaze.

Welcome back to the popular series of "Misinterpreting survey results" (though this time I think without an attempt to deceive).

Again, a cautionary tale of how misreading survey results can lead to very misleading conclusions...

Previous thread:
Survation has just published the results of a survey showing preferences of whether people wish to a) Remain in the EU, b) Leave with a Deal, or c) Crash out of the EU with no deal.
In addition to which choice voters would prefer, the survey also asked which would be the second preferred outcome i.e. the second preference - which is a good question to ask BUT its results must be treated with care.

That the Lib Dems top a poll of Westminter voting intention is not the surprise.

That it has taken so long for this to come to pass is the odd thing.

businessinsider.com/yougov-poll-li…
Brexit has made being pro-EU or anti-EU is the primary cleavage in British politics.

The Lib Dems have understood it. The Brexit Party has understood it.

The Tories and Labour are struggling still.
Whether it is *desirable* that this is so is another question. Corbyn seems downright annoyed that it is ("We want to talk about ending austerity!" you hear him scream).

But this is the basis on which a forthcoming election will be fought.

Keep on with Brexit or stop it.

1) hoodwinked libertarians & the #Brexit Company - Thread
I wanted to bring up this exchange not to embarrass the person involved but to highlight a phenomenon I've seen twice this morning, pro Democrats voting for an authoritarian shell, the Brexit "party"
2) twice today I've come across people who complain, rightly or wrongly, about the "undemocratic" EU, who have researched its democratic deficits..

...and yet have happily voted for an authoritarian shell "party" which has no democratic processes at all, because its "temporary"
3) to reiterate, Farage 2.0, the BxP, has no manifesto, no way to join as a member, no way to depose the leader, no way to vote on policy

And this is all *by design*, see 12 mins in, because Farage was tired of the democratic processes in UKIP

#BREXIT craziness update so maybots deal is blown out of the water l. Similarly corbyns vote of no confidence fails and won't be backed by SNP and lib dems
Despite her #BREXIT deal being defeated by biggest margin a government has lost a vote ever maybot seeks concessions on backstop despite being told to bog off by the EU with no realistic hope of a different answer
Corbyn meanwhile refuses to talk #BREXIT without no deal being ruled out despite knowing she can't do this whilst maybot makes no concessions either.

*Brexit at the Border: Voices from local communities in the Central Border Region of Ireland/Northern Ireland*
An initiative by @QUBelfast & @europe_icban to gather data on the immediate & anticipated effects of #Brexit for those living on the #Border
qub.ac.uk/brexit/Brexitf…
1/10
Here are some of the key findings from the report in slide form.
First an overview of the study itself:
Rich qualitative data (online survey & focus groups) gathered across the Central Border Region. Detailed examples & viewpoints heard from people on both sides of #border.
2/10
Respondents to the survey came from across the 8 local authority areas of the Central Border Region, moreorless equally from both sides of the border. 50/50 male/female. 80% 31-65 yrs.
There were far fewer Leave-voting respondents so they got extra attention in our analysis.
