In this episode:

• The public’s reaction to Tony Blair’s essay and how they might vote if he returned as Labour leader.
• Common ground on welfare: Ian Porter from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation joins to discuss our latest research on public attitudes around the social security system.
• Immigration: do Britons believe net migration has fallen, what immigration policies do they want to see, and could Burnham’s migration stance give him an edge in Makerfield?
• 0 to 100: how do Britons rate their own attractiveness, kindness and humour?
