Public Figures

Britain’s official statistics

The edition of 11 October 2026

Nothing notable published today.

We would rather send you this than manufacture significance.

Three of our datasets were due a check this morning, and all three came back byte-for-byte identical to copies we already hold: the Ministry of Justice's 102 monthly prison population bulletins and the claimant count from NOMIS, both unchanged since yesterday, and HM Land Registry's house price file, which is still the July 2026 edition we first read in September. The September prison bulletin has still not appeared. Nothing was revised.

NHS England's August hospital waiting-list figures, published on Thursday, are still not in this edition: the page we fetch them from has changed, and a dataset we could not fetch and check is left out of the day entirely rather than read from anywhere else.

Nothing on our shelf of developing stories is ready to run. The next fresh data we expect is the September prison bulletins, the September claimant count and the August house prices in the coming fortnight, followed by the August airport figures.
