Incredible chart from John Burn-Murdoch in Financial Times which shows how extraordinary the UK’s climate consensus is. Working in an organisation that looks at polarisation in different countries I get to see how despite our problems, we’re relatively far less polarised. on.ft.com/3Dxxy1F
We can end these silly culture wars about history, trans, speech, race etc. Contrary to popular opinion, most people in the US and UK are reasonable and agree on most of the issues. Me Financial Times, using research from More in Common and others on.ft.com/3xhPqhg
