Danny Dorling: The electorate are Unhappy, Uncertain, and Unpredictable

If the polls are to be believed, then the situation is continuing to alter fast. Labour has lost support - not to Reform, but to progressive parties and to uncertainty itself. The Greens have doubled in popularity, while the Conservatives have somehow managed to become even less popular, largely through voters defecting to Reform. And the Prime Minister? The most unpopular ever - though he’s in familiar company.

In this fast-paced and not entirely dismal talk, geographer Danny Dorling takes a clear-eyed look at the shifting sands of British politics. From who’s pulling the strings to how MPs are behaving as their personal futures grow more uncertain, he explores what these seismic movements in public opinion might tell us about the country’s mood - and where we might be headed next.
