This week on the Public Pulse mini-series, Emma is joined once again by Lord Andrew Cooper, partner at FGS Global and leading political polling expert, to unpack a transformative year in UK public opinion — from the rise of Reform UK and growing frustration with both major parties to shifting attitudes on the economy, business and the cost-of-living crisis. They break down public and business reactions to the autumn budget and look ahead to a high-stakes 2026, including the local, Scottish and Welsh elections and what Reform’s momentum could mean for UK politics.
