The survey revealed a sharp decline in national pride in Britain, with the percentage of people preferring to be British citizens dropping from 69% in 1995 to 49% in 2023.
Only 64% of Britons expressed pride in the country's history in 2023, a significant decline from 83% in 1995, reflecting growing national disillusionment.
Sir Keir Starmer highlighted the findings as evidence of a deeply unhealthy society, stating that the far-right riots exposed foundational cracks in Britain, worsened by a decade of division.
While specific achievements in arts and literature remained consistent, overall pride in Britain's democratic processes and national achievements has continued to decline since 2013.
