This is the first poll out for 2026 🗳

There is only 11 points between the first ranked Reform on 26% and fifth placed Greens on 15% 😅

There is just a few % points separating the Cons, Lab, Lib Dems and Greens.

Lib Dems up to 16% 🔶

Will 2026 be the year that the Lib Dems surge? 🔶

For the first time ever, Young Carers supporting parents with a severe mental illness will get the help they desperately need.

A young carer called it "the safety net we always wished existed".

So proud of @AlisonEBennett.bsky.social for her work with @CarersTrust.bsky.social

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.

Reform want people to come back to the office. The cost of doing so quickly is prohibitive. Trying to turn sound bytes into policy is harder than it looks!

Bend for a friend is not a good look. It will be intriguing to see what the prime minister has signed us up for. Has he done an impact assessment on UK farms and industries. Is 25% tarriffs on steel sustainable. So many questions after this Bill and Ben sketch!

The cost of bringing Thames Water into public ownership?

@ewanmg.bsky.social explains for @cmmonwealth.bsky.social that

- the law says about £0

- the private shareholders should actually be paying US to be brought into public ownership, after all the damage they've done 👏👏👏
