In this presentation Prof Roger Scully questions whether the UK General Election 2017 was really the ‘Brexit Election'.

As the fallout from the 2017 snap General Election continues into the summer, a little light has been shed on how and why Theresa May lost her overall Commons majority. It's in the shape of the British Election Study which has followed more than 30 thousand voters over the past three years. Brexit was major factor in voters' opinions and can explain a surge in support for Labour among backers of Remain. But there was plenty more detail in the study. To dissect the numbers, Sky's Head of Data Harry Carr is joined by one of the co-ordinators of the study - Chris Prosser from the University of Manchester. #GE2017 #Corbyn #May #Labour #Tories #LibDems #SNP #Brexit

Adam Boulton and guests discuss a dramatic week in politics as the fallout from the election throws up more questions than answers. What will a deal with the DUP look like?

In this bonus podcast Sky's Head of Data Harry Carr talks to the man behind YouGov's 'multilevel regression and post-stratification' model which successfully predicted a hung parliament at the 2017 general election. Ben Lauderdale - who's an associate professor at the department of methodology at the London School of Economics and Political Science - explains the methods behind MRP and how it's helped restore faith in opinion polling following a difficult few years. #GE2017 #skynews #polling

In this final edition of Blurrt Out The Vote, Tom Price and Jason Smith use the Blurrt technology to analyse Twitter, rise above the echo chambers of Election Day and make a bold, final prediction of the outcome.
It's General Election week, but there'll be no talk of #GE2017 here (firstly, it's already over.) Instead, we discuss Prince William's revelatory interview with GQ - and Princess Diana's relationship with the media. Also in today's episode, we discuss Miss Eaves' music video ‘Thunder Thighs' and the new spate of ‘body posi' bloggers; and whether purely inhabiting your body could be more progressive than ‘owning' it. Also noteworthy: Dolly is addicted to Wagamama and Pandora went to see the Baywatch movie. Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review for The High Low on iTunes! Every review helps.

With the General Election around the corner, I wanted to take a look at the funniest General Election tweets. I searched the #GE2017 hashtag and found some crackers... or at least they made me laugh.
It's the final day before polling day, so Tom Price and Jason Smith from Blurrt hack into the key social data at this crucial point. Trident, car crash television and fish fingers are the order of the day, with an excellent finale courtesy of MP Greg Knight's new campaign video.

In a week where Jeremy Paxman grilled the leaders of the two main parties, Tom, Jason and special guest Elena Cresci from The Guardian grill the social media data around the General Election to see where the land lies with just a week to go.

Rhea Stevens is joined by Amy Bainton, Natasha Davies and Owen Hathway to discuss the ideas in #GE2017 manifestos
This week's podcast is a wide ranging discussion that starts with the theory of economic democracy and takes the listener into more blunt analysis of where Scotland and Britain stand in the UK election campaign. Prof Cumbers joined Derek Bateman and regular contributor, playwright and author Peter Arnott, who chewed over another grim week in British public life, overshadowed as it was by the murder of 22 people and maiming of any more by a suicide bomber in the foyer of a Manchester concert venue. What happens between now and election day on May 8? It seems (if YouGov polling is correct) that Theresa May has turned an unassailable lead of 20 points into a nail-biter. Can Corbyn catch her? Or is this just another poll of the type that claimed a late surge to Yes in September 2014? Whatever, there may even be a chance that this election might turn out to be interesting after all...
Tom Price and Jason Smith, CEO of Blurrt, reflect on the Manchester bombing - which has paused general election campaigning early this week - but also talk through the stories that were making the news before Monday night's attack, including Twitter's verdict on the party manifestos and the ITV Leaders' Debate.

Halfway through the general election campaign, the various party manifestos slipping into the public consciousness, and the opinion polls remain largely unchanged. Is the UK sleepwalking towards a massive Tory majority? Are their Scottish bedfellows going to consolidate the opposition vote north of the Border? What on earth is Labour up to? How are the SNP responding to all this? And if the Tories win, will they interpret victory as good reason to fend off a second independence poll, or even to diminish Scottish devolution? Podcast regular host Derek Bateman summoned the collective opinions of journalists and commentators Angela Haggerty, editor of Common Space and Sunday Herald columnist, and Maurice Smith, TV producer and media commentator, to make some sense of it all.
Adam Boulton is joined by The Spectator's Katy Balls and Sky's Head of Data Harry Carr to assess the manifestos published this week by Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives. Do voters actually read them? How popular are the policies and are they economically sound? They'll also discuss the latest opinion polls and examine the state of the parties three weeks before the general election. #GE2017 #SkyNews

Land across Lancashire is at risk of fracking, a new form of fossil fuel extraction that is set to threaten the UK's ability to meet its low carbon commitments. Planning permission has been granted for fracking at Preston New Road in Lancashire, between Blackpool and Preston. Pendle Hill Area Meeting Quakers joined together to organise a meeting for worship for witness against fracking atop Pendle Hill, a historic site for Quakers. The land that can be seen from Pendle Hill is licensed for fracking, or at risk of being so. Jon Martin went along to hear from those who attended the meeting for worship on 6 May. It's urgent that we move beyond reliance on fossil fuels. This means campaigning against fracking, and many other types of action too. Sunniva Taylor, Sustainability and Peace Programme Manager, celebrates 19 area meeting fossil fuel divestment commitments and outlines key climate change questions to put to parliamentary candidates before the general election on 8 June. We need their answers – and their actions. For further information about the general elections, and question to ask candidates, go to www.quakervote.org.uk. A note for listeners: whilst fracking receives government support in England, this issue will be devolved to the Welsh Assembly next year. Listeners in Scotland can take action to uphold and strengthen the Scottish Government's moratorium on fracking by responding to the official online consultation before 31 May.

Andrew Tickell enjoys studying failure. The law lecturer, political blogger and media commentator kicked off these theme as part of a conversation about our dearly beloved (unelected) Prime Minister, who has called an election next month in order to award herself some legitimacy. Well that's our script for the "bloody difficult" Tory leader in her pending wartime fantasy involving Europe. Andrew arrived in the studio to discuss all this and more with podcast host Derek Bateman, during a day when Mrs May's party took an unprecedented number of council seats across Scotland, mainly as the Labour vote dropped to embarrassing levels. Her tartan sidekick Ruth Davidson is claiming it as a victory for "the union" of course. And why not, what else would she be claiming?
