Public support for EBacc subjects
In new polling published by More In Common today, some 66 per cent of respondents said they believed young people should study EBacc subjects until 16 even if it means less time for other subjects.
Support among the more than 2,000 polled was strongest amongst older generations, with 85 per cent for those 76 and over compared with 58 per cent for millennials.
Some 50 percent of Green Party voters and 48 percent of Labour voters ranked the sciences as the most important subject taught in schools.
Comparatively, for Conservative, Liberal Democrat and Reform UK voters, financial literacy was placed first.

Globetrotting Keir Starmer spends a sixth of his time abroad
Polling from More in Common shows that more than a third of Britons think Starmer is spending too much time abroad. About a quarter said he was overseas about the right amount. Among Reform UK voters, two thirds said that he spent too much time abroad.

A survey of 2,000 adults by the More in Common think tank found most people think the flagship Tory policy should remain intact.
Luke Tryl, executive director of More in Common, said: 'What's striking about the support for schools keeping the EBacc requirement is that it spans across political divides.
'While the public wants to ensure children are taught vital life skills, few want changes to the curriculum to come at the expense of traditional subjects.'

Why are prisoners being released by mistake?
Last week, working with Electoral Dysfunction, we conducted a focus group with eight women who had voted for Labour in the 2024 General Election, but since turned away from the party - some toward the Green Party, and others toward Reform UK.
"Plus Beth, Ruth and Harriet are joined by pollster Luke Tryl, and a group of voters who tell us why they’re not convinced by the Prime Minister so far.
So how tricky is this budget going to be for Rachel Reeves when most people’s top worry is the cost of living? Can she actually put up taxes? And will more people just end up supporting Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski?"

The BBC should treat this shaming as an opportunity to break free
This is why I’d argue (perhaps optimistically) that this week offers a window of opportunity for the BBC. The courageous move would be to acknowledge Prescott’s findings, perhaps even to admit what is, I think, undeniable: that the corporation suffers from institutional bias. I mean, it is not as if it is alone in this. A survey last month by Electoral Calculus showed that 75 per cent of what it called “the establishment” voted for left-of-centre parties at the general election. The think tank More in Common found that many institutions are dominated by “progressive activists” who constitute just 13 per cent of the population.

Rachel Reeves faces full wrath of Britons at ultimate betrayal of trust - 'no way back'
Even if the country went to war, just 44% would support abandoning the landmark manifesto pledge. The More In Common polling found the only circumstances in which a majority would accept the move is if it was needed to prevent cuts to the NHS, schools or other public services (53%), and if the taxes fell only on the highest earners (56%).
Louis O’Geran of More In Common said: “Breaking a key tax promise is likely to face a backlash and could risk further eroding public trust in politicians. If there is a way through for the Government, it lies in demonstrating fairness in the tax rises, showing that the burden falls on the wealthiest, and making it clear that the measures are there to protect vital public services.”
