😮💨 I for one feel relief at this. As somebody whom used to be against the idea of two-party politics, I have had a taste of the alternative and I didn't like it! Once you go beyond 2-3 main parties, views become so extreme in order for additional parties to differentiate themselves. #UKPolitics
Belief that Reform and the Greens are 'main parties' in Britain today has fallen back in recent months, with Labour and the Tories now the only parties seen as such by a majority of Britons Labour: 90% (+8 from 20-21 May) Conservatives: 86% (+8) Reform: 44% (-17) Lib Dems: 34% (-4) Greens: 16% (-8)

This will be a game changer if it's confirmed. Upfront costs are the biggest barrier to people getting solar (the article says the loans will cover PV) Our household has saved nearly £500 from May to October since having solar installed. It's the most effective bill reduction measure out there.

Although Burnham's latest net favourability rating (+4) is down from its peak in August (+13), he has become the first prime minister to go three months without recording a negative net favourability rating in our tracker since Theresa May before the 2017 general election yougov.com/en-gb/articl...

I used to think that it could be a manifesto commitment but changed my mind to now thinking that it definitely has to be a referendum (requiring a supermajority). #UKPolitics #Rejoin
Think strongly in PM’s interest to nip in the bud the idea rejoin needn’t involve a second referendum. Public think it needs one, and risk for rejoin side is debate about mechanism for consent bleeds into debate about merits reinforcing arguments that rejoin is anti democratic
And Trump wants to side with this (a loser)… Now's a good time to donate to Ukraine again: u24.gov.ua #Ukraine #Russia #Trump

For the sake of a slogan achieving nothing except great concern and distress to British Jews, Green members have probably destroyed any hope that a party - their party - which consistently and clearly opposes the #genocide will join the next government. Genius. 🤦♂️ www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

These are actually unbelievable results. Andy Burnham has found a way to end the triple lock which even 43% of boomers support. (Number goes up to 80% when you don't mention that they will have to help pay for it 😆). Guaranteed vote for Burnham from me next election. #UKPolitics #Burnham

Burnham’s approval ratings are down 4 to +12, high by recent standards, but at the lower end since he became Prime Minister. Badenoch’s ratings drop to net neutral. Farage down 3 points to -23, Davey holds at -8, Polanski is down 1 to -26, Lowe is at -9 but with low awareness.

Thank God, the Russia appeasers are very small in number. I came across an uncomfortable number of them recently in real life but glad to see that sanity overall prevails. The slight Reform/Green pro-Russian bias still exists in their estimation of level of threat. #UKPolitics #UK #Russia
40% of Britons now see Russia as a major threat to the rest of Europe outside of Ukraine, as European intelligence officials warn of a potential incoming Russian 'test' attack on NATO territory Major threat: 40% (+5 from 17 June) Moderate threat: 36% (-4) Minor threat: 10% (=) No threat: 3% (-1)

God the public are so fickle. This is basically the same reform as planned under Starmer, but previously everyone were so concerned about "taking away the right to a jury trial". This does the same. I agree with either reform. #UKPolitics #UK
Britons tend to support allowing judges to decide which cases do and do not go to jury trial, one of the proposals being considered by the government to replace the reforms to jury trials planned under Keir Starmer Support: 51% Oppose: 23% yougov.com/en-gb/daily-...
