@MLBEurope @felixwhite @CleGuardians @tigers @Cubs @Padres @BBCiPlayer @BBCSport Godawful coverage. Why are we putting up with some guys watching and doing commentary from a studio. Why no in stadium commentary???

“The APPG for Fair Elections is now the biggest in Parliament and we really want to support the Government in building consensus about the way forward.”

💬 @AlexZurClark of @Labour4PR speaking at our fringe event with @thefabians and @fairelectionsUK

[LCER @Labour4PR]

💥 Fantastic to see the APPG for @FairElectionsUK calling for a 'National Commission for Electoral Reform'

🌹 We're proud to say that a majority of the group's more than 100 members are Labour MPs

💪 The Labour movement is firmly in favour of fair votes

🔔 CONFIRMED: the Government is abandoning First Past the Post... for mayoral and PCC elections.

This is the first acknowledgement we’ve seen from the Government that FPTP is not fit for purpose in an age of multi-party politics.

Mayoral elections should be just the first step.

🗳 Labour could win a huge majority of seats on a lower share of the vote than it got in 2017, says @Sirjohncurtice

👀 Watch out for the vote share this #ElectionNight

📢 Our broken voting system is set to be a major issue for the next parliament

So what results do you get if you ask Sir Humphrey's polling questions? @IpsosUK decided to try it. We showed 1,000 Brits his pro national service poll and 1,000 his anti national service poll. Results:

Sample A: 45% in favour of national service, 38% say no.
Sample B: 48% oppose national service, 34% say no.

What does it all mean? Well, obviously we wouldn't ever do this poll for real, wording is too leading & there are rules about transparency of q wording / ordering.

But it does show the importance of question wording, watching the detail and looking at more than just one poll when you want to understand what the public really think on an issue. Especially in election year.

@KevinSparrow8 Was a great experience

[Shaun Roberts @ShaunR_LB]

@wesstreeting @alistrathern Yet Labour vote basically unchanged since June… Labour peaked months ago, it’s Lib Dem or Tory now…

[Shaun Roberts @ShaunR_LB]

@chriscurtis94 It shows Labour going nowhere and the Lib Dems gaining ground. Labour peaked weeks ago, this is becoming a Lib Dem/Tory fight now.

Unnecessary Voter ID laws threaten the democratic rights of thousands in this May's elections. Help us campaign to scrap Voter ID for good.

Ahead of the local elections in May, @susannareid100 reads out comments from viewers who are concerned that the new rule is unfair and discriminatory.

[Good Morning Britain @GMB]

Here is a list of accepted forms of photo ID. 👇

If elected Chair of @euromove one of my priorities will be ensuring grassroots groups are able to work hand-in-hand with all other parts of @euromove, a truly integrated campaign, and a campaign that everyone feels is pushing our agenda. I'm equipped to lead that here's why.

[Tom Brake @thomasbrake]

Brexit made it harder for us to address asylum issues. We must keep our reputation as a law abiding nation on the european & international stage. If elected Chair of @euromove I would press for stronger ties with the EU to assist in resolving such issues. #IllegalMigrationBill

[Tom Brake @thomasbrake]

Great catch-up with committed @YoungEuroMove members yesterday evening. If I am elected Chair of @euromove, YEM and EM will work as equal partners on campaigns such as Erasmus, and EM will support YEM in any campaign to boost YEM membership and profile.
