NEW: When Labour voters were asked why they believed things were getting worse for the UK, they overwhelmingly cited Brexit as the number one cause, with 69 per cent naming the decision to leave the European Union as the main reason behind the country’s problems. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

This is extremely encouraging. Reeves being deeply sound atm.

And it makes the splash....

This is fantastic news for all Britain's young people, and a great result for campaigners such as @bestforbritain.org 🙌

We have campaigned HARD on this since 2023, the first to do so, and we won't stop until it's done. Young people deserve it, the economy needs it and gvt wants it.

Excellent! Well done to you and BfB for banging this particular drum so hard for so long. Young people here and in the EU will be grateful, the economy will be grateful...and since Reeves is also my local MP, I feel a bit of relief seeing the person I voted for at the last GE doing the right thing!

NEW TONIGHT: Not content with bringing you new polling, I am also delighted that the CX is pushing forward Government plans for a UK EU Youth Mobility Scheme. 🇪🇺🇬🇧✈️

Creating an ID system in the UK right now, amid anti-immigrant hysteria as part of a pledge specifically to target immigrants, is simply not the same as the complex legal and social history of ie German ID cards.

Ming Campbell was a dedicated public servant and a true Liberal giant. His principled leadership opposing the Iraq War was a mark of his morality, courage and wisdom. But more than that, he was an incredibly warm and caring friend and colleague. We will miss him terribly.

Tony Blair and Rishi Sunak snapped after they bumped into one another outside Trump Tower in New York, four days ago.

"As soon as those flags went up, something changed in the wind, something didn't feel right." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’ve had a number of arguments on here along these lines: “ID cards work fine in Europe, why not here?” They *do* work in Europe, but *not* as immigration enforcement. If Labour want to push them for other uses, then please make that case. For immigration enforcement? It won’t work.

Yep, that's great. Just fantastic. We were told that Starmer would lay out the patriotic case for diversity today. What we got was an article in the Telegraph, behind a paywall, about how the left failed to tackle immigration and now we all have to have ID cards www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/09...

There is not GE tomorrow, but this poll serves as yet another reminder that Reform, on 27% of the vote, could be the largest party. Labour is insane if it doesn’t seriously pursue proportional representation. news.sky.com/story/nigel-...

@quietriotpod.bsky.social yet another outstanding episode with real, make you think conversations. The reason this pod is my go to is the consistent quality of guests and David was fascinating. Thanks as always @sturdyalex.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social

We have just finished the quarterly @quietriotpod.bsky.social editorial meeting for our backers and it was AMAZING. I’m feeling quite overwhelmed by the love, support & tremendous ideas. Our cup runneth full. Thank you to all who came along 🙏🏼

David Howarth joins @pimlicat.bsky.social and @sturdyalex.bsky.social on Quiet Riot to explain why Britain should be part of the EU’s Common Asylum and Migration Policy. They also dive into the debate on ID cards - spoiler: they are irrelevant in reducing illegal immigration. bit.ly/4mG4sRT

Look forward to seeing all out supporters' lovely faces at the open editorial meeting in 10 minutes. A, N, & K xx

This morning we hosted our latest Decoding Populism webinar about the messages that work to persuade voters away from supporting populist politicians. ICYMI it live you can now watch the whole thing back on the link below. Feel free to share. www.bestforbritain.org/decoding_web...

I enjoyed the episode when you spoke to Liam Byrne about this. Gave me much needed hope.

Bus would be roadkill within minutes in London. I’d give it 30 seconds in Hanger Lane.

"Farage can be beaten. His coalition is brittle. His arguments are vulnerable" strong stuff from @liambyrnemp.bsky.social over on the @bestforbritain.org Substack where he tells us HOW to defeat populism. 👇 bestforbritain.substack.com/p/how-to-bea...

“We need to be inside the new EU pact on migration and asylum - most of the things that people complain about would be solved within it: more information about the people we take, much easier returns, and an obligation for asylum seekers to apply only once, in the first country they land.”

That swan thing is just a canard, a cygneture move by Farage

Amid reports that MPs and an advisory taskforce will recommend scrapping the two-child limit on benefits, it's worth noting that this step would be the most targeted and cost-effective way for the Government to meet its aim of reducing child poverty ⤵️

“Reform is adopting a policy of ‘national preference’ - the sinister policy of the far right in France. It starts with citizenship. Who counts as a citizen? It then shifts to dual citizens. Suggests they have divided loyalties. It ends up in very dark places, all about having the ‘right’ ancestry.”

Always brilliant, and with another great guest in former Lib Dem MP David Howarth, @quietriotpod.bsky.social is an essential listen. And love the term @sturdyalex.bsky.social has coined for the age we are living in - The Endarkenment. (Don’t be put off, the vibe is generally positive, as usual)

“We need to be inside the new EU pact on migration and asylum - most of the things that people complain about would be solved within it: more information about the people we take, much easier returns, and an obligation for asylum seekers to apply only once, in the first country they land.”

This is a really useful piece of work well done @pimlicat.bsky.social

the TRUE swan eaters

New research by Best for Britain and YouGov shows: Farage is most vulnerable on the economy. @pimlicat.bsky.social, CEO of Best for Britain: “Identifying the messaging that is most likely to persuade those Reform voters who remain persuadable is absolutely crucial.” https://bit.ly/46KmaOm

I’d kinda like to know what Mummy Trump took while pregnant tho

I've known @SadiqKhan for over 30 yrs. He's a feminist, a socialist & an LGBTQ+ ally. I'm so proud he's our London mayor. For the record, he's as interested in introducing Sharia Law to London as I am - and that's 0%. Those who suggest otherwise are deluded, or have a v sinister agenda.
