As I was saying on @quietriotpod.bsky.social - the electoral commission needed to do this. Glad they have.
Good to know I'm still more 'average' in my views than most of the bubble who seemed to disagree with me yesterday.
Last week the Lib Dems said we needed to be in the Customs Union. Today they're saying Single Market. At this rate they'll join their voters (& Lab & Green ones) in supporting Membership of the EU by July. Half way houses don't turn voters on. Look at those flat lines until you get to Membership.
Just spent 24 hours working in Liverpool, which is never long enough. I love the city, its energy, its history, its ambition. Maybe it’s the Irish in me!
Nourishing afternoon in Nottingham today speaking at the East Midlands European Movement conference. Despite living in Reform curious, heavily 2016 leave voting areas, the attendees are incredible stalwarts of pro-Europeanism and I’m so grateful for all they do and for organising today.
Delighted that our work @bestforbritain.org has made the splash #tomorrowspaperstoday
What an auspicious day. It’s the birthday of both Donald Tusk and Jennie the Dog. 🥰
🏴An almost unbelievable YouGov poll for ITV Wales tonight 📊 Infers FM loses her seat, with Lab being reduced to just 12 seats and a Plaid/Green governing coalition. It’s hard to imagine🌹doing THAT badly in its heartland. 4more see @willhaycardiff.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/willhayw...
Fascinating breakdown of party memberships by @timbale.bsky.social and team. To be a member of any party makes you pretty deviant. Worth reading: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
Just when you’re sure your opinion of Mandy could not be lower… #tomorrowspaperstoday

Couldn't agree more with @rostaylor.bsky.social here. My fear in 2016 was that a leave vote would unleash far more sinister opinions and the beginning of ethno-nationalism www.thenewworld.co.uk/ros-taylor-o...
Greens overtake Labour to take second place in latest YouGov poll. Two years ago I predicted they’d regularly overtake the LDs in national vote share but this is quite something
Proof that when politicians are really good at their job, they’re liked.
