British Resilience Index

the index, in print form

The Quarterly Record

A quarterly edition of the British Resilience Index, set like a reference annual: 47 pages at B5, built only from official figures whose publishers released them inside the quarter. Nothing is carried in from outside the window, and every figure names its source and release date beside it. The Q2 2026 issue, covering 1 April to 30 June, is free as a digital edition.

Editor's Notes

One signed essay giving the quarter its character: what the country published about itself between April and June, and what it did not.

The Record, in eleven sections

Every domain of national life, each opened by an editorial note and set out as reference tables: 358 figures, every one from a release dated inside the quarter.

How it is made: 993 candidate figures from the site’s verified deep dives were examined against their primary publishers’ own release dates; the 358 published between 1 April and 30 June 2026 qualified, and no others appear. The essay and every section note were independently fact checked line by line before the issue was set. The method is described in full inside the issue, and the underlying pages are free on this site: all deep dives · methodology · release calendar.
