In his book 'How to Launder Money', Posh George, the Farage aide at the heart of Reform's latest controversy, has a chapter on 'The Art of the Bribe' He and his co-author recommend small gifts (explainable as “a mistake of overexuberance in friendship”) and "Paying some of the target’s expenses”

Burnham's big devolution speech should be taking place in a city not called Manchester (Leicester, Wolverhampton, Coventry, you take your pick) and I would have thought it was obvious why.

Our democracy is under threat. From the Kremlin to Mar-a-Lago, powerful men are trying to destroy our great country. Our new laws would ban foreign money, block foreign ads, and stop tech giants like Elon Musk buying influence. We need action now. Only our party is offering it.

We won every seat on Richmond upon Thames Council last week. But that doesn’t mean we’ve changed our mind on electoral reform. It’s time the Government stopped defending a broken system out of self-interest and backed proportional representation.

The local election "prediction" websites like Britain Votes Now and Poll Check are having a distorting effect and don't have the credibility to back it up. e.g "PollCheck is run by one person, PJ - a politics hobbyist who started PollCheck in August 2025 as a side project to track UK polling data."

🔶 LIB DEM WIN - CUTTING YOUR BILLS ✂️ The Government has finally listened to Ed Davey and announced they will break the link between gas prices and electricity prices. Electricity from solar or wind is now much cheaper than gas. But people aren’t seeing the benefit of cheap renewable power.

A Worthing Labour MP says we can’t have elections because a messy local gov reorganisation no one asked for leaves no time to train new cllrs. Yet failing Tories, who don’t show signs of having been trained anyway, should get a 7-year term? Farcical. www.facebook.com/share/v/1No3...

It currently looks like elections might be cancelled for East and West Sussex, giving some county councillors at least a 7 year term. All the boroughs could cancel elections too, except Crawley. What a mess the government is making of local government reorganisation www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Will Sussex get to vote in 2026 or will elections be called off?
