BSA confirms the shift in views on immigration, now more positive than negative on both the economy and culture. (Many people are balancers but the glass is a little more than half-full) 
BSA positive shift on immigration: the numbers
What difference did the EU referendum campaign and result make to European identity in Britain? BSA shows a very mild rise to a peak of 18% in 2016, stable since (but not an identity felt by 2/3 of those who voted Remain for other more pragmatic reasons)
BSA shows the persistence of British identity in England, rather than a dramatic shift to a stronger English identity. Rather the Both/And view is rising
On the (rather too simplistic for a civic multinational context) forced choice question there is a shift from English to British identity, somewhat contrary to claims of the opposite (often made by critics as much as by advocates of English identity)
