The next time someone defends First Past The Post because of the stable government that results, remind them of life in the UK in 2022. - 80 seat majority - Cabinet in disarray - Backbench rebellion - No strategy - No stability - No functioning government

I’m not saying that @LibDems are good at canvassing, but those flowers were blue when these guys knocked on the door.

The Greens not having banning conversion therapy in their manifesto is appalling

The Tories and Labour don't want to rejoin the Single Market. We do. 2.1 million more Brits abroad have the right to vote at this election after changes in the law. Register to vote before Tuesday's deadline. Vote for the party that has a clear plan to rebuild EU relations. 1/2

What a beautiful tribute to all those who fought and died for peace in Europe Children from all around the continent join the French Army Choir to sing "Ode to Joy" on Omaha Beach 👇

Can I be honest with you? I didn’t want to start the programme talking about the Conservative claim that a Labour Government would cost you £2,000 in extra taxes. It’s obviously been disputed. Not just because it’s cumulative rather than annual – but because it’s based on an awful lot of assumptions, with some of the conclusions even being disowned by the authors who did the research. But look – I’m being sucked down the rabbit hole now too. There are two reasons I don’t want to talk about the £2,000 claim. The first is because the Conservatives WANT us to talk about it – because even if we’re discussing the fact the number is being disputed, we’re still talking about Labour putting up tax. But the second reason is even more important. The parties are both arguing about whether each others sums add up. Well… they don’t, do they? Both of them are promising they won’t raise income tax, national insurance, or VAT – three fifths of the total tax revenue. Nobody wants to borrow other than to invest. Health, schools and defence are all ring fenced from spending cuts in some form. I genuinely don’t understand how this all adds up. Not even close. Public spending projections after the next election have been described as a “fantasy” by economists – the tax burden is set to hit a historic high - and we’re spending more on debt interest payments than education. Forget about the quibbling over a few numbers here and there. Because it doesn’t seem to me like ANY party is being honest about just how difficult it will be after the election… and the kind of choices that the next Government will have to make – no matter who it turns out to be. x.com/skypoliticshub…

@lindawhisky @jackdaviesld Jack came second last time. He’s aiming to do one better this time. But feel free to look it up on tactical.vote/new-forest-wes…

@jackdaviesld Have you seen the flyer Lab have put out (Sally Johnston)?says LD can’t win in New Forest West ,only Labour can.

Well done @KeirStarmer on a robust defence of the ECHR. 👏 100% right that it had Churchill’s fingerprints on it. In fact, it was 75 years ago this month, when the European Movement submitted the first draft of the ECHR to the Council. See the names on the document below.

👩🏻‍⚕️ Free adult personal care based on need, not ability to pay. 🏫 A new Royal College of Care Workers. 💷 A new, £2 higher, Carers' Minimum Wage. ⛱️ Increased Carers' Allowance and paid leave for unpaid carers. We will stand up for carers and put them at the heart of our plans.

Rishi Sunak is so dull his cameraman films the Liberal Democrats sailing past instead.

I might not be making it to Bake Off anytime soon 👨‍🍳 Today I announced the Liberal Democrats' plan for free school meals, which would save parents money and transform the future for millions of children.

You need to be registered to vote to have your say in the UK Parliamentary general election on Thursday 4 July. You'll also need to bring an accepted form of photo ID to vote at your polling station. More information about voting and elections is available on our website.

Breamore is a beautiful village with a fabulous pub. And hopefully a new MP in a few weeks time. It was a pleasure to deliver leaflets there.

Left: James Cleverly blames Doctor and Nurse strikes for the rise in NHS waiting lists Right: Chart from the FT shows the rise of NHS waiting lists since the Conservatives took office in 2010. You see that black arrow on the right? That's when the strikes began

@UnimportantO @implausibleblog Might not be secret but still shouldn’t be left under a chair.

Stephen Kinnock, "Today Rishi Sunak refused to give details about the operationalisation of the Rwanda scheme saying: we will not be giving away sensitive operational details which could hinder all the progress made to date" "Or so he thought. Because it subsequently emerged, that one of his ministers had left behind, under some chairs on the front row, a secret document entitled: official sensitive. Which included, wait for it. Operation details for how the Rwanda scheme will work" "You simply could not make it up"

@skinnjes I think that’s what Tory HQ want opposition parties to believe. My belief is that when it comes to a General Election more people will feel a sense of personal responsibility and will vote for someone, despite having said they would not vote on the doorsteps.

The Tory supporters won’t vote.
