One week to go. It’s doesn’t matter how many votes you get, it’s about where you set the bar. #politicalcartoon 😬 Darlington Conservatives have distributed a campaign leaflet attacking the Green Party designed in the style of a discount supermarket advertisement, featuring images of drugs alongside listed prices and promotional-style offers. If you’re an MP - or you work for one - I need your help! There’s a once in a generation chance to improve the quality of information at election time by making election advertising regulation part of the Representation of the People bill, which is currently in committee stage. If you’d like any more information I’d be very happy to provide it. Postal votes have started landing on doormats across the country and with that, the Labour Party has kicked off its get-out-the-postal-vote campaign. Reform UK’s new slogan is… kind of weird. Weird slogan choice by Reform UK for the 2026 elections. The secret to crisis management? Never let the Beast go hungry. There’s a helluva lot of interesting stuff in this playbook. Not going to pretend I’ve read and digested all 200+ pages yet. But I will do and will be better for it. The public has a voice, but the party has a veto.
