New: I've published the geographical templates behind the UK cartogram maps shared here recently. There are four geopackage files for MSOAs, local authorities (both lower-tier and upper-tier), and constituencies. All on the @commonslibrary github here: github.com/houseofcommons…

I've just published two articles on the 2024 GE, on marginality and turnout (links below in reply). Especially happy with this chart, which shows the clear correlation between turnout and winning party. Almost all LD and Con wins were in higher-turnout seats.

The census took place in March 2021 during the pandemic. For some of the questions, in particular, this means it's unhelpful to present its findings in the present tense. ons.gov.uk/employmentandl…

Working from home is heavily concentrated in the SE and London, Inner London especially. Interestingly this suggests that many people are paying a lot to live in central London despite not needing to do so for length-of-commute reasons.

Unfortunately, for travel from 1 October onwards, LNER are extending their 'fares trial', and discontinuing affordable/flexible/refundable Off-Peak fares on ALL their longer-distance flows.
Peter Mugridge@Peter_Mugridge

@greensignallers @seatsixtyone @MartinSLewis Alert! Alert!! LNER have extended their "no off peak fares at all" thing to virtually their entire route from I think 30th September - thus blocking the Haymarket loophole...

Couple of thoughts on the migration stats which came out yesterday and were covered in The Times today. Most strikingly, they show a fall in applications for work visas in health and care, which is where policy was recently changed to disallow bringing dependents. (1/7)

My colleague Mike Benson has just published a @commonslibrary briefing on the Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill, before its 2nd Reading on Monday. This Bill will effectively re-nationalise all the big train operating companies. 🚂 commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-brief…

@andrewteale What makes me most sceptical of the Bexley figures (which are 12k lower than the BBC's numbers) is the fact they imply not just increased turnout, but on a scale not seen anywhere else in the country (+8 in Bexleyheath and +9 in Old Bexley). Erith, though, is in line with BBC.

@commonslibrary Brilliant work, well done team. Can you just check the electorate numbers in the HoC-GE2024-results-by-constituency file? Seems to indicate Bexleyheath & Crayford (E14001089) has just 57,539. Seems a little lower than I'd expect.
