🟥🟥💥🔨 The Red Wall must be firmly in our sights.

There is so much opportunity here for our party.

If we don’t make the case to disappointed and disaffected Labour voters (while honouring the voter base that supported us in 2024), we know the populists will.

🤣🤣🤣 Oh yes , we’ll noticed. I produced it quickly on Grok. I thought it was two hands. Ah well it’s a talking point!

Britain is living with the consequences of a broken Brexit deal forced on us by the Conservatives.

We must build a new relationship with Europe to free British business of red tape and supercharge our economy.

Liberal Democrat MP and Vice Chair of the Fair Elections APPG Lisa Smart highlights the importance of electoral reform to enable more voices to be heard.

Support for hardline anti-immigration policies linked to ignorance about migration figures, poll suggests – as it happened Almost half of voters either strongly or somewhat support ‘admitting no more new migrants and requiring large numbers who came in recent years to leave’, says YouGov

YouGov has released detailed polling on attitudes to immigration that shows a clear link between having hardline anti-immigrant views and being ignorant about the level of illegal immigration into the UK.

You may have a point. But he’s level with Starmer and ahead of Farage & Badenoch. So maybe it could be called a draw. 😉

A better headline would be:

LIB DEM LEADER ED DAVEY TOPS BEST PM POLL!

Who would make the best PM? @yougov.co.uk

Davey 20% vs Starmer 20%

Davey 31% vs Farage 27%

President Trump says the Epstein files are a 'total hoax' and 'bullsh*t'

Followed by footage from NBC showing Trump with Epstein

Closing Police Station front counters across London breaks the Mayor’s pledge to Londoners and will leave us less safe.

I told BBC Radio London earlier that this just isn’t good enough. The Mayor must reverse these cuts.

This letter appeared in the Yorkshire Evening Post on 7 August 2025. The writer points to a recent poll showing that, if the Brexit referendum was held again, there'd be overwhelming support for remaining in the EU. Almost every UK business wants access to the European Single Market.

Labour's #EU 'reset' is right direction for UK, says @yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk letter. But going too slowly. Polls show voters want #Brexit damage undone.

Now's a great time to write to your local paper! August 'silly season' is when press often looking for content. They'd love to hear from you.

A Ed Davey quote graphic that says: Netanyahu’s reprehensible proposal to occupy all of Gaza will only further devastate Gazans and endanger the hostages still held by Hamas. The Prime Minister must urgently pick up the phone to President Trump and press him to make Netanyahu abandon this plan.

The Prime Minister must act urgently, pick up the phone to President Trump and urge him to stop this proposal, which would devastate Gazans and endanger the hostages still held by Hamas.

Keith Best: Conservative pragmatists should embrace electoral reform | Conservative Home In the local elections, Reform UK gained 40 per cent of council seats on just over 30 per cent of the vote.

"Looking to our own history, backing electoral reform would be a pragmatic Conservative step."

Cross-party support for fixing the voting system is growing. Even most Conservative voters now back it.

It's time to give everyone a fair voice in Westminster.
