@PhilRodgers Curious to know exactly where they thought it might bring it in to play. They weren’t even close anywhere in City unless I missed something.
English
Quite a lot of Reform UK candidates and activists here considering it's a Cambridge count. They have brought a large disc with the Reform logo on which may come into play later.
English
@StarkUK It is neither. This ward is between LD and Lab.
English
@PhilRodgers @poll_checker @BritainVotesNow Eurgh! The encroachment of the one-party superstate, which the LDs, hilariously, refer to as ‘so close here, only the LDs can stop Reform!’ Like the latter are even a vague threat 🙄
English
There's more agreement about South Cambs, where @poll_checker has the Lib Dems winning in 23 wards, with three for the Conservatives, while @BritainVotesNow has 23 LD, 2 Con, 1 Green. The 26 wards elect 45 councillors altogether.
English
Two rather contrasting ward-level projections for the Cambridge local elections - @poll_checker (left) has 5 LD, 4 Lab, 4 Green, 1 Con, while @BritainVotesNow (right) is expecting a dramatic 11 Green, 2 LD, 1 Lab

Absolute honour to attend this and hear about the brilliant cross-party work ahead of this vital bill. Special shout out to the brilliant amendment work by @emily4MK and @justinmadders and a huge thank you to @refpoliticalads for all they do and for organising these events.

The room filling up for our Parliamentary event "Preventing Disinformation in UK Elections" with the @FairElectionsUK APPG. A great turnout of MPs and a once in a generation opportunity to change the outdated rules for our elections with the Representation of the People Bill.

@PhilRodgers Really wanted to come to this session but just too busy in my job at the conference venue! Read your notes on it though!

Enjoying a politics geek’s day out at the absolutely packed Bennett School of Public Policy Annual Conference.

@puzzleGen @PhilRodgers I agree. Some roads in Cambridge have not been resurfaced in 50 years!
We need housing too!
English
@ElizabethMcWill @PhilRodgers I don’t want potholes filled, I want road resurfaced and regularly maintained, as it happens in places much poorer than Cambridge. And works done well. It’s unacceptable for eg Hills road to crumble into dust few years after completion

Graph comparing the council tax charged by local district councils; this doesn't include the larger amount charged by the county council or the amounts charged by other bodies. Data from gov.uk/government/sta…
English
@rosie_wrighting Wow! How did you have time to track for that?! You are a superstar x
English
@puzzleGen @PhilRodgers Also highways: we all want potholes filled! We can’t have social care for a population that has longer life expectancy, and no potholes without paying for it! As I say, this is not party point scoring on my part as not LD! I don’t understand how you have those and low council tax
English
@puzzleGen @PhilRodgers It’s completely unfair to compare the enormous outgoings of a county council that has to fund the ever increasing burden of social care (well over 90% of its entire budget) with district level councils. I say this regardless of party politics.
English
@PhilRodgers @BritainVotesNow And yet the Lib Dems say, ‘it’s so close! Vote Lib Dem to avoid a Conservative/Reform council! 🙄
English
In South Cambridgeshire, where 45 councillors will be elected in 26 seats, the @BritainVotesNow model shows the Lib Dems as most likely winners in all 26. This isn't completely impossible, but I think a small number of non-Lib-Dem wins is more likely. britain.votes.now/local-election…
English
Ward-level projections for May's local elections in Cambridge from @BritainVotesNow. They rate Labour as most likely winners in 8 wards, the Lib Dems and Greens in 3 each. Personally I don't think Labour are likely to do anything like as well as this. britain.votes.now/local-election…
English
@refpoliticalads @borofergie Yes! I will check your emails!
English
@ElizabethMcWill @borofergie Thanks Elizabeth quite an example. Btw we are holding another HoC event in April for the Representation of the People Bill if you'd be interested in finding out more
English
This will surely go down as a classic in the bar chart genre .
Spot the "error" 👀

@refpoliticalads @borofergie 2/2 They go on to say ‘Elections in our area are always a clear choice between your Lib Dem team and the Conservatives’ and yet in 4 of the last 5 locals in this ward/division, Lab were 2nd to LDs!
English
@refpoliticalads @borofergie In Milton & Waterbeach ward Focus it’s the usual interchangeable elections trick & alternative facts. Recent one claimed ‘last time’ Lab were third ‘here’ charting GE24 result for whole constituency & ignoring County ’25 where Lab 2nd in Milton & WB division. 1/2
English
@refpoliticalads @borofergie Also, so many errors (neither the Ref nor Con bar - whichever is supposed to be 17 - is less than half of the LD bar), including a typo in their party name!
English
@refpoliticalads @borofergie They won’t apologise. They never do.

This Cllr needs reporting to the Monitoring Officer, his party and the Cambs Local Safeguarding Children's Board.
Dr Alex Bulat@LabourAlexB
Imagine you go to your first Children’s Committee and instead of… perhaps learning more about the fact that each county councillor has a responsibility as a corporate parent…or going to the trauma informed practice training to understand why challenging behaviours can exist in children experiencing trauma (and how to support them) You choose to say some children in care are “downright evil”. Labelling does not help anyone, let alone those children in local authority care who experienced some of the most difficult circumstances through no fault of their own.
