Few people in the media (if anybody) thinks there is a uniform picture across all outlets. The tone of this statement is uninterested in any dialogue or nuance about gaps or challenges that remain, as they obviously do.
3 years ago, the editor of the Daily Express, Gary Jones, made a clear statement about why he was uncomfortable with the paper's headlines about Muslims. There have been some changes since. The tone of Society of Editors sounded oblivious to any issues

Do you have sympathy for Harry and Meghan (29% yes, 56% no) has a starker generational divide than just about any other issue that I can think of.
18-24: 59% yes, 20% no (+39)
65+: 13% yes, 79% no (-66) Image
YouGov do not report breaks by ethnicity on this issue. It is definitely a weakness (in 2021) when questions are asked of perceptions of racism without any breaks by ethnicity.

Free Speech Union stated that it will take no view on the content of the speech that people make using their free speech. It simply defends their exercise of free speech. (But this principle is applied selectively when it does take such a view about the content, as it often does)

Attitudes to gender equality in the UK in 2021. Image
BSA long-term data shows attitudes to gender were socially polarising in mid-late 1980s. However, previous splits by generation & gender over one of the foundational claims pursued by feminism was replaced by broad social convergence in favour by this century. Image
Mystery in the pattern. Why might this change seem to become much stronger during Thatcher's third term (1987-90) yet having apparently seemed to somewhat weakened during her second term (1983-87)? But we don't have pre-1979 data from this source as BSA starts in the 1980s.

First Scottish poll for some time with independence trailing, by 43% to 46% (or by 48-52 if Don't Knows are removed)
There was a tied poll a week ago, but pro-independence had led in polling for a year before that
In fact, the second poll to show independence behind. This wiki page has a summary of polls since the 2014 referendum, as well as before
