You know we’re big fans of setting out policy, saying what you WILL do, rather than just trashing what the other thinks. So we made a tally… this is what we got.

Mega-poll mega-thread/ How does voting intention look as the campaign kicks off?

First up: age. Age will once again be a key factor in how people vote, and currently Labour are ahead among every age group except the over-70s

Labour / Tory vote by age group
18-24: 57% / 8%
25-29: 59% / 9%
30-39: 60% / 10%
40-49: 52% / 15%
50-59: 46% / 19%
60-69: 34% / 27%
70+: 25% / 39%

The date for the UK General Election is July 4th.

Act quick - or you’ll get froze out of voting! If you want a say in your future, here’s 3 things to check TODAY:

1. Are you registered?
2. Do you have photo ID?
3. Do you need a postal vote?

Y13 - with the calling of a General Election, do make sure you are registered to vote, especially if you are 18 on/by 4 July. Your first General Election!

[Sarra Jenkins @LGS_Politics]

Evaluate the view that the outcomes of general elections are mostly decided by election campaigns and manifestos. (30)...
....no, wait. That was Paper 1 yesterday!

[A Level Politics @AlevelPoliticsR]

An interesting approach- what do you think? #alevelpolitics

Heckler was speaking v quietly. I was about thirty feet away and hadn’t heard him. He is a Conservative member of the London Assembly and was muttering concerns about Stella sounding transphobic.
He was booted out.
Zero tolerance of dissent from the party of free speech? 🤷‍♂️

The Prime Minister decides when the next election is going to be, as long as it's before the deadline.

As we begin what might be the last Conservative Party conference before the Big Vote here are some thoughts he might be having.

[@SOT6FPolitics @sot6fpolitics]

Conservative Party Conference begins today. Lots of speeches, meetings, ideas & policy suggestions will be unveiled over the next 4 days.
'Glastonbury for politics nerds' 👍
Good to see some of our think tanks & pressure groups will be in attendance trying to influence 🧵
