Verdicts

The verdict

A narrow but clear win for No: by 25 votes to 21, the chamber rejected Starmer's demand that his successor keep matching his foreign-policy time, with under-35s the only cohort still keen.

The verdict

No won this one, but not by a rout: of 43 votes cast, 26 sided against forcing through the 2030 zero-carbon target, a 20-point margin that masks a genuine age split.

The verdict

Voters backed stricter penalties for network-damaging contractors by 78% to 22%, with support hardening steadily among the over-55s, who were unanimous, while younger voters were far more divided.

The verdict

Rupert Lowe fell narrowly short of Nigel Farage in the chamber's eyes, 34 to 32, but the verdict splits sharply by age: the middle years back Lowe, the young and old don't.

The verdict

A narrow Yes carried the Gibraltar question, 31-24, but the headline splitting is by gender: men were dead-locked 17-17 while women broke decisively for the deal, 12-5.

The verdict

A wafer-thin win for extending 30 funded childcare hours to 9-month-olds, carried by parents of prime childcare age and rejected by those past it — a generational bookend, not a consensus.

The verdict

No won a narrow contest, 27 votes to 24, and the closeness masked a sharp age divide: parents-in-waiting or in the thick of it backed the plan, older cohorts spending it rejected it.

The verdict

No won 35-21, but the real story is the gender canyon beneath it: 46% of men backed Burnham's plan against not a single one of the seven women who voted.

The verdict

Yes carried the day narrowly, 57 to 43, but the chamber split hard by age: younger voters under 35 were split or against, while the 55-64 bracket backed the review by 70 per cent.

The verdict

Yes carried the chamber by 36 points, but the age breakdown reads less like consensus than a fault line running straight through the middle of working-age Britain, with 25-34 year olds backing Ukraine 4 to 1 while 35-54s turned against it.

The verdict

A narrow 57-43 verdict that Russia is a paper tiger, carried by a modest but consistent lean across nearly every age group bar the youngest and oldest, who split down the middle.

The verdict

A narrow Yes on rethinking the transatlantic tilt, but the real story is age: 55-64s broke 80% for questioning Washington while 25-34s split almost down the middle.

The verdict

Voters here backed conditional welfare reform by a landslide, 73-27, with the sharpest resistance concentrated among 25-34s, who split just 64-36 while every other sizeable age group ran hotter for reform.

The verdict

Voters here backed defence over welfare by a decisive 74% to 26%, with the clearest consensus coming from the 55-64 bracket, who went unanimously for defence, 9 votes to nil.

The verdict

Voters backed the extra £15bn for defence by a clear 26-point margin, but support rose steadily with age — from an even split among 25-34s to four-in-five approval among over-55s.

The verdict

A narrow Yes, 21 to 19, but the topline masks a sharp split: women on the platform backed the Reform-surge thesis 80% to 20%, men split almost the other way, 42% yes.

The verdict

No won narrowly — 37 to 32, an 8-point margin that leaves the cap standing but far from settled, with the middle-aged least sympathetic and the 55-64s bucking the trend.

The verdict

Yes carried the chamber 20-11, but the vote's real fault line was age, not gender: younger voters (16-34) broke heavily for an investigation while the 55-64 bracket split down the middle.

The verdict

Devolution won comfortably, 59-41, but the coalition behind it was lopsided by age: 35-44 and 55-64 year-olds backed it by roughly two to one, while 25-34s were the only group to lean No.

The verdict

A narrow 54-46 win for stripping VAT relief from some Motability leases, but the coalition behind it was generational: 25-34s were the only clear holdouts, everyone from 35 upward leaned Yes.

The verdict

Yes carried the chamber 64-36, but the clearest fracture ran along age rather than the immigration-politics script you'd expect: the 55-64s broke almost unanimously (9 of 10) for tests, while the youngest cohort split dead even.

The verdict

No" carried the day by 32 points, with 38 of 58 voters here saying it is too late to reindustrialise Britain, and scepticism ran deepest among the 35-44s, the cohort most likely to have watched factories close on their own watch.

The verdict

Yes carried the chamber 57-43, a narrow win built mainly on the 25-34s, who broke decisively for the motion while the 35-44 bracket alone pushed back against it.

The verdict

A comfortable No, 39-21, on a full ban of social media — but the generation gap did the real talking: 55-64s rejected the idea 9 to 1, while the only age band that voted for it was 16-24.
