Quakers condemn police raid on Westminster Meeting House Police broke into a Quaker Meeting House last night (27 March) and arrested six young people holding a meeting over concerns for the climate and Gaza.

Poll: Majority of leave voters say they may accept free movement to access EU single market. Willing to accept percentage support. Voted remain: 86% Labour 2024: 81% Blue wall: 75% Defected from Labour: 74% Con to Lab in 2024: 68% Red wall: 59% Voted leave: 54%
