Lord Ashcroft poll 🔴 Lab: 27% ( +6 ) 🔵 Con: 23% ( +2 ) ➡️ Ref: 18% ( -3 ) 🟢 Grn: 15% ( -2 ) 🟠 Lib: 8% ( -1 ) Reform last polled 18% in Oct/Nov 2024 (with several pollsters). Ashcroft had a 19% in March 2025, 17 months ago. Nb, slightly different voting likelihood/intention cue
the @GBNews report says, my polls ask a different question to most pollsters - how likely people think they are to support each party at the next election, not which party they would pick in an imaginary election tomorrow

The UKHSA has issued an Amber heat-health alert for London until Tuesday 23 June. Please stay safe during the hot weather. Not everyone copes well in the heat, so check in on older neighbours, friends and family, young children and anyone who may find it difficult to manage.
Graphic from the UK Health Security Agency showing a bright blue sky with sun and a thermometer icon, labelled “Hot Weather.” Text reads: “Look out for people who might struggle to keep cool.” Additional text states: “Older people, people with long-term health conditions and young children may need help keeping cool.”

Absolutely disgusted to hear about the racism Wes Streeting mentions here directed at school children who were visiting Parliament. He has taken the post down, rightly, to protect the children. But it's wrong that he had to do it. Disgusted with so many people in our country. Racism is never OK.
This evening I came home from work to find hundreds of comments on a picture I posted of kids who visited Parliament today - hundreds of comments by grown men and women who clearly decided they had nothing better to do than post a load of racist comments about school children.

Just think about that for a moment: grown adults bullying kids. 

I’ve deleted the post because I don’t want the kids or their parents to see the comments. But tomorrow I will post it again - with comments turned off if necessary - because I’m proud of those kids and their school, proud to represent them in Parliament and because these flags 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 belong to them, too.

Tomorrow we’ll mark Armistice Day when the guns fell silent. Never forget that the poppy we wear commemorates all those who fought, bled and died for this country - like my grandfather and great grandfather, as well as Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and Jews, from these shores and from what was then the Empire and is now a Commonwealth of equals.
