Politics Live just referring to this poll claiming alarming decline in support for democracy among the young. Except there isn’t. This has now been debunked several times (Mark Pack’s linked post is the most thorough) but the only thing remembered and cited in debate is the original headline.

'Fragmented and Dealigned: The 2024 British General Election and the Rise of Place-Based Politics'. An article by Will Jennings, Jamie Furlong, Gerry Stoker, and Lawrence Mckay in The Political Quarterlly.
Abstract
While the outcome of the 2024 British general election signalled a resounding repudiation of the incumbent government—returning a 231-seat swing from the Conservatives to Labour—it did not radically overturn the geography of electoral outcomes in England and Wales. Indeed, demographic predictors of party vote for parliamentary constituencies at the aggregate level mostly represented a continuation of recent trends. With the Conservative Party's vote collapsing most in areas where it started highest—and where the Leave vote had been highest in 2016—Labour secured shock victories in relatively affluent parts of southern England as well as retaking all the ‘red wall’ constituencies in northern England that it lost in 2019, despite its national vote share only increasing slightly. This represented the other end of the ‘realignment’ observed in 2019: as the electoral tide went out on the Conservatives, the relative weakening of their support in areas with graduates, middle class professionals and mortgage holders came home to roost. The election exposed a fragmented and marginal map, bequeathing a fragile electoral future, despite the Starmer government's large parliamentary majority.
Our analysis of the geography of GE2024 is now out in

This matters for many reasons, not least because there is a bunch of evidence that the social class (of which education is a proxy) of politicians and the cabinet matters for actual outcomes 🧵

The link between changing news use and trust: longitudinal analysis of 46 countries
Abstract . Changing levels of public trust in the news are of deep concern to both researchers and practitioners. We use data from 2015 to 2023 in 46 count
New article in Journal of Communication looking at changes to trust in news across 46 countries in the last 10 years.
Trust in news declined in just over half of countries.
It decreased more in countries where TV news use has declined, and/or where social media news use has grown.
