Ever wondered what an 'MRP' poll is? Want to know how it works? Why do they produce different results? @youngvulgarian and I did an explainer for the latest edition of The Polling Station podcast.
Here's @JoeTwyman's "Explain It Like I'm 5" guide to MRPs and what makes them different. youtube.com/watch?v=piUbwlBB…

On his podcast – The Polling Station – pollster Joe Twyman provides a "talk to me like I'm 5" explanation of MRPs. We all talk about them, but what exactly are they? And why are they a better guide of what might happen in an election?

One of these is certainly an activist – in Tory blue – who is regularly out campaigning for Conservative MP Bob Blackman in Harrow East...

The Conservatives 2nd ever TikTok features a group of Gen Z (and older, for some reason) reacting to that National Service proposals. What do you reckon: authentic opinions or are they Tory activists? (Or 'paid actors', as the comments believe).

The guys who work in AI today are going to be the richest, most powerful people in tech for the next few decades. I'm kind of ok with them having a bad week or two right now.
