Remember when certain analysts argued that the shift to a second referendum wouldn't have consequences?
Some of the replies to this poll are wonderful examples of confirmation bias. There are ppl who believe Cummings-gate has overhauled the foundations of British politics & others who are in total denial about how the class story in British politics has been turned on its head
We seem to now have people who think that everything before Cummings-gate was some kind of parallel universe that can now be disregarded. Because the last decade really showed time and time again that individual scandals transform the dividing lines in politics! Bonkers.

A remarkable shift in British public attitudes in just four years. Goes to show how giving people a sense of control and influence over issues can lead to positive social change
Sorry I should have said I picked that up from @b_judah
Several factors likely going on here: Remain voters becoming a little more pro-immigration post-Brexit, like Democrats post-Trump, a general drift in attitudes, salience falling and Leavers having sense of control, "pressure valve" provided by referendum & subsequent results

The Corbyn legacy

The only region that puts Labour ahead of the Conservatives is London ... which Labour already controls

Everywhere else is a car crash; 34 pts behind in southern non-London England; 27 pts in Midlands; 25 pts among the working class ..

To be fair, many of these problems, like Labour's weakness in England and gradual loss of support in blue-collar areas, can be traced back much further than Corbyn. But they've become far more entrenched since 2016
@Keir_Starmer and team would do well to reflect critically on what has gone wrong and -crucially- not just listen to same old voices who will tell Labour what they want to hear.

If I liked the Sopranos, loved Breaking Bad and worshipped Mad Men, but didn't dig the magic and dragons nonsense of Game of Thrones and think Ozark is a bit blah then what show should I watch next?
Some of the replies are taking me back. Season 1 of Gomorrah and Season 2 of Succession might be some of the finest television ever made. Except Seasons 2 and 3 of Mad Men. And maybe the final season of Sopranos.
If you share my tastes then the consensus seems to be: revisit The Wire immediately, detour into Peaky Blinders, then The Americans & then slide into Better Call Saul followed by Babylon Berlin and then possibly Giri Haji. And then maybe watch succession all over again
