NatCen was proud to support the 2026 Cathie Marsh Memorial Lecture, hosted by the Royal Statistical Society @RoyalStatSoc and the Social Research Association.

It was fascinating to hear Professor Sander van der Linden (University of Cambridge) @Sander_vdLinden and Eliot Higgins (Bellingcat) @EliotHiggins discuss the growing challenge of misinformation, what drives people to believe false claims, and how we can build resilience and trust in evidence.

The discussion offered valuable insights into the importance of communicating evidence clearly, addressing uncertainty honestly, and ensuring that robust research reaches the right audiences.

A record high of 19% of people, nearly one in five, now say that both taxes and spending on public services should be reduced, more than double the proportion recorded just four years ago.

In the latest episode of our ATTITUDES podcast, we look beyond the Budget headlines to explore how public views on tax and spending are changing, and what may be driving these shifts in opinion.
