 While there is a general centre-left feeling to people's views on #economics of redistribution & the #politics of tax & spend... on #immigration there is a clear difference of opinion by age.

So if you wanted to understand how the declaratory politics of Johnson #Tories worked (given their dependence on older #voters, while trying to 'win' younger people to the party), here you have one simple element...

Where #RishiSunak has problems is reality has caught up with earlier #torylies! Oh dear..

 @43d7c4ea I'm surprised - and dismayed - to see that 'immigration' line as it is for the sub-50 year old groups. Rather than earlier, discrete societal/education regimes yielding less 'liberal' views, it seems to be more linked to just plain ageing. Which would also tend to suggest the Tories will continue to be fed with a nice stream of ageing xenophobes for a long time yet.
