Our analysis of 2018 Issues Index data shows concern about Brexit rising further to become the clear biggest issue for Britain, and a sizeable increase in public worry about crime.
With the nature and timing of Britain’s exit from the European Union remaining uncertain, the April Ipsos MORI Issues Index shows public concern about Brexit again reaching the highest level of concern recorded about European issues since the Index began in September 1974. By contrast, worry about immigration has fallen to a two-decade low.

Two thirds of the public name it as important (67%), an increase of five percentage points since November and a jump of 21 percentage points over the year.

Ipsos MORI - Social Britain September 2019Ipsos UK
For the past several months, Ipsos MORI has been monitoring social media conversation about key political and societal topics. We have now decided to release this information. While this does not cover every topic that British social media users discuss, it gives us a good view of how much people are posting about and engaging with posts about key topics. We discovered these by focusing first on what comes up most in political forums and then writing queries about all of those topics to track them amongst more general social media posts by individuals and organisations (including the media).
In September – as in every month for the past year, Brexit and Europe are most discussed – which is consistent to its being mentioned as the top issue facing Britain in Ipsos MORI’s Issues Index. However, Brexit has not always been the star. A year ago crime was most posted about. Indeed, crime posts can generate greater engagement (interactions, measured by likes, shares, reactions) at times than Brexit posts. Greta Thunberg’s speech in the UN managed more interactions than either topic on the day. The award for most interactions in the month, however, went to Brexit at the beginning of the month, when people were engaging with content about no deal and also sharing pictures of Jacob Rees-Mogg’s recumbent position in Parliament.
Interestingly, although Jeremy Corbyn has a higher total reach based on our topics than Boris Johnson does, Boris’s posts on these topics generate more interactions (which can be positive or negative) than any other influencer during September.
This month’s Ipsos MORI Issues Index records a further increase in the proportion of the country who name Brexit as one of the biggest issues for Britain. Sixty-two per cent cite the country’s relationship with Europe as a concern – a new highest level of concern on this topic since September 1974. This is also the highest level of worry about any issue since February 2012 (when 64% were worried about the economy).
Similarly, the proportion who see Brexit as Britain’s single biggest issue is also at an all-time high, at 52% (up from 48% last month). This is the highest recorded score for any issue on this metric since the 2010 General Election when 53% named the economy as Britain’s biggest issue.
NHS surges in final Issues Index ahead of the 2019 General Election
• The proportion of Britons who say the NHS is one of the most important issues facing the country has risen 18 percentage points since October to 54 per cent, close to Brexit which has fallen by six points to 57 per cent this month
• Brexit remains the single biggest issue by a long way and is also the most important issue influencing how people might vote
• Concern about crime and pollution has fallen while worry about the economy has spiked
On 6 December 2017, in Central London, we looked back at the events of 2017 and explored whether we’re looking to the future through a lens of pessimism or optimism. Ben Page also outlined findings from our global survey – Perils of Perception – where we examine people across 33 countries and look at how wrong we are about the society we live in, from predicting the levels of immigration and obesity to guessing how many people have access to the internet.
This month the Ipsos MORI/Economist Issues Index shows there has been a leap in public concern about the NHS, with 40% seeing it as a big issue facing the country, up nine percentage points from August and the highest score since June 2015. Having said that, only 10% see it as the biggest single issue facing the country. Fieldwork began just before the cancellation of the September Junior Doctors’ strike, scheduled for the 12th – 16th September.
Ipsos MORI Political Monitor April 2015: Election IssuesIpsos UK
Ipsos MORI's April 2015 Political Monitor looks at which issues British voters say will influence their choice in May's General Election, as well as which parties they think have the best policies on each issue.
The March 2017 Ipsos MORI/Economist Issues Index shows a new record in the proportion who see the EU/Brexit as one of the biggest issues facing Britain. Half (51%) now cite it as an issue, six percentage points higher than February and the highest score since records began in September 1974. Fieldwork was conducted 10-19 March, prior to the attack outside Parliament on the 22nd of this month.
In the latest end of year Ipsos MORI/Economist Issues Index, there has been a sharp rise in those who see the NHS as one of the biggest issues facing Britain. Concern has risen eight percentage points since November and stands at 40%, above Brexit and immigration, which are both on 36% this month. Fieldwork occurred across December and early January, when stories about the pressures facing the NHS topped the news agenda.
The April 2017 Ipsos MORI/Economist Issues Index shows concern over Brexit remaining high with half (48%) mentioning it as one of the most important issues facing Britain. Concern around the NHS rose slightly by 3 points (also at 48%) making it the joint top concerning issue facing the country. Fieldwork was carried out before the announcement of the General Election after Easter.
Moreover, three in ten (31%) members of the public name Brexit as the single biggest issue facing Britain – (a five percentage point decline from last month’s score), eighteen percentage points higher than the next single biggest issue – the NHS, on 13%.
Sexual orientation and attitudes to LGBTQ+ in BritainIpsos UK
New Ipsos MORI research shows that Britons think LGBTQ+ communities face discrimination in Britain today, but opinion is split regarding the progression of LGBTQ+ rights.
Economic optimism has fallen to its lowest level since the 2008 financial crisis, according to Ipsos MORI’s new Political Monitor. The new poll, conducted between 13-16 March, so before some of this week’s emergency measures were announced, shows seven in ten (69%) now say they think the economy will get worse in the next 12 months – this is up from 42% in February. Just 15% think that the economy will improve, leaving an Economic Optimism Index score of -54. The last time pessimism was this low was in November 2008 (at its worst during the 2008 crisis 75% thought the economy would get worse). Despite this pessimism, around half (49%) believe the Government is handling the coronavirus outbreak well (35% say badly).
The February Economist/Ipsos MORI issues index shows that, after January’s dead heat between the economy and race/immigration concern about the latter among Britons has fallen by 7 percentage points to 34%, meaning that the economy is once again uncontested as the most important issue facing Britain today. Poll: http://www.ipsos-mori.com/researchpublications/researcharchive/3346/EconomistIpsos-MORI-February-2014-Issues-Index.aspx
The Ipsos MORI/Economist Issues Index for October 2016 reveals a tie between immigration and the NHS; both are seen as one of the biggest issues facing the country by 36%. However, there is a sharp difference between the two issues on the proportion of the public who see each as the single biggest concern – here 20% mention immigration, compared to just eight per cent who say it is the NHS.
The February 2017 Ipsos MORI/Economist Issues Index reveals the shifting focus of public opinion; over half of the British public (52%) now see the NHS as one of the biggest issues facing Britain, a further increase since January and the highest level of concern since June 2002. At the same time, concern with the economy has dropped to pre-crash levels, with 19% seeing it as a big issue – the lowest level since February 2008.
The January Ipsos MORI Issues Index records a rise in concern about the NHS – since December 2017 the proportion who consider it to be a big issue facing the country has risen by ten percentage points, to 55%. Apart from a peak of 61% in May last year, this is the highest score since 2002. It has displaced Brexit as the biggest issue facing the country overall, although worries about Europe are still close to the highest recorded score, with almost half of the British public concerned (46%).
When asked about the single biggest issue facing Britain the order is reversed, with the largest proportion of the public (29%) mentioning Brexit and fewer (18%) saying it is the NHS. However, the gap has closed somewhat this month.

New Ipsos MORI analysis shows 53% of people in Scotland view Brexit as one of the most important issues facing Britain today, compared with 46% across Britain as a whole. Brexit tops our ‘Issues Index’ in Scotland, ahead of the NHS which was mentioned by 50%.
However, our English neighbours are, of course, far from homogenous in their views on Brexit. There is substantial regional variation, with the proportions considering Brexit one of the key issues facing the country ranging from as low as 35-36% in the Midlands, to as high as 60% in the South East. Unsurprisingly, concern about Brexit is highest in those areas that, like Scotland, saw a relatively high Remain vote.
In terms of the other key issues exercising people in Scotland, education and schools were mentioned by 19% (similar to Britain as a whole). At 18%, the proportion mentioning the ageing population and social care as a key issue facing the country was higher in Scotland compared with Britain as a whole (11%), perhaps reflecting growing awareness of the particular challenges Scotland faces around its ageing population.
In contrast, Scots were a little less likely to identify immigration as a key issue facing the country (16%, compared with 21% across Britain as a whole).
The July 2019 Ipsos MORI Issues Index confirms that Brexit remains the biggest issue facing Britain for a majority of the public.
Six in ten mention Brexit as one of the biggest issues facing the country (60%).
Four in ten see the NHS as a big issue for the country, while a quarter say the same about crime.

With the year nearly at an end, we have reflected on the highlights (and lowlights) of 2018 to bring together our thoughts on the current mood of the nation. Leveraging data from our regular global surveys, Ipsos Thinks publications and broader research, the 2018 state of the nation roundup provides a snapshot of what the country has been talking and worrying about this year, with insights from across our work in the public sector and wider society.
Among members of the British public, there is considerable scepticism about the scope for social mobility and only a minority believe young people have bright prospects ahead of them.
These are the main findings of research conducted by Ipsos MORI for The Sutton Trust. The survey shows that members of the general public are equally split on the chances for social mobility, being as likely to disagree (42%) as to agree (40%) that there are equal opportunities for people to get ahead. Only three in ten (29%) believe that today’s youth will have a better life than their parents’ generation; in contrast, almost half (46%) say they will have a worse life.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, women of all ages across Britain are more pessimistic and worried than their male counterparts. This new webinar explores why.
Looking at data around the balance of responsibility and mental load at work and at home for women compared to men, the additional stresses that the pandemic has put on women of all ages, and the specific damages it has made to women's work-life balances and future ability to progress in a career, our expert speakers will examine how the disease - despite being more prevalent in men - might be more damaging to women.
Ipsos has analysed data from more than 2,000 women of working age across Britain to examine what is happening, explore the causes and explain what can be done to better support those women being hit hardest by the pandemic.
Speakers include:
Jane Merrick, Policy Editor, the I newspaper

Jordana Moser, Business research specialist, Ipsos MORI
Kelly Beaver, Managing Director, Ipsos MORI Social Research Institute (Chair)

A new global poll by Ipsos MORI shows the extent to which the UK public may change their behaviours because of the threat of the virus, including 14% saying they would avoid contact with people of Chinese origin or appearance.
The threat of the Covid-19 could have a significant impact on the UK public’s behaviour, according to an Ipsos survey conducted online from February 7 to 9, 2020 among 8,001 adults aged 16 (18) -74 in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Ipsos MORI Social Media Britain November 2019Ipsos UK
The key findings of the November 2019 edition of our new Social Media Britain report - powered by Synthesio - include:
Overall Brexit continued to lead the conversation in November – however there was a 59% increase in NHS related mentions vs. October. This was driven in part by Corbyn revealing documents that he says indicate a Conservative government would sell off the NHS as part of a US trade deal.
The general election, which is the focus of our deep dive this month, as well as the London Bridge terror attack - both contributed to sizeable shifts in social conversation.
Following the ITV Leaders Debate, there was a sharp increase in conversation around the general election. The release of the Labour and Conservative manifestos seeing further spikes in volume towards the end of November.
When comparing Johnson and Corbyn activity on Twitter in November there were some notable differences in the focus of their posts. Whilst Brexit was mentioned across 42% of Johnson’s tweets – it was only mentioned within 6% of Corbyn’s. Corbyn focused mainly on the NHS, which was mentioned in just over a third of his tweets.

The research, by the Policy Institute at King’s College London and Ipsos MORI, finds that across 11 NATO countries surveyed1, 43% of the public who know at least a little about the Alliance have a favourable view of it, while 14% have an unfavourable view and 43% have a neutral view.
Favourability towards NATO is highest in Poland (60%), the US (56%), Canada (55%) and Britain (50%), but low in some key member states:
Germany: 30%
France: 31%
Italy: 35%
Spain 29%
But in the NATO countries polled, more people agree (40%) than disagree (14%) that the organisation is a force for good in the world, while 26% have a neutral view.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
