Did avoiding ever making any critical mention of Brexit actually harm Labour's vote share in the red wall in 2024?
A myth about what happened on July 4 is undermining Rachel Reeves’s hopes of boosting Britain’s economy.
The myth is that Labour won the election by winning back thousands of strongly pro-Brexit voters in Red Wall constituencies that had swung to the Tories in 2019.

Closer ties with Europe are a must.
Ed Davey has urged Keir Starmer to “Trump-proof” the UK by urgently seeking closer European cooperation over military aid for Ukraine and economic ties, after the US president-elect’s threats about security and trade wars.

Just updated this starter pack of Lib Dem MPs again.
Currently by my count there are 34 on Bluesky - so very close to half.
Here's a Starter Pack of all the #LibDem MPs on BlueSky (that we're currently aware of).
Will add any others to it as they appear...

If you haven't come across Starter Packs yet, they are a quick and easy way to follow some (or all) the accounts on a list.

Just added lots more councillors, Lib Dem orgs and local parties. Have reached the 150 limit on this starter pack, so will have to create a second follow on one when I have a chance.
Starter pack of Lib Dem and Lib Dem adjacent accounts on Bluesky worth a follow.

“Will the government at least exempt GPs, community pharmacists and other health and care providers from this tax rise?”

📺 Edward Davey pushes the government to rethink the NI hikes on GP surgeries which could see millions struggling even more to secure an appointment.
