1/. Good politics demands good political strategy. And good political strategy requires clarity about who we’re talking to & delivering for
To help, I've been working hard over the last few months with the brilliant @bestforbritain, @yougov, research agency #FasterHorses, @policyatkings & @fairnessfdn to help reveal five different groups of 'Reform-curious voters'; united by some big things - like fury at living standards, decay & decline of local neighbourhoods plus frustration with immigration reform - but divided on big issues: like a free NHS, social security, climate change and Brexit.
Over the next few days & weeks, we’ll be sharing some of the big conclusions, but for now here’s a headline summary: open.substack.com/pub/liamby…

The UK’s economy is shaped by deep spatial inequalities—the so-called “geography of discontent”. These divides have helped fuel major political upheavals.
Infrastructure is central to tackling uneven growth.
