OPINION: Prime Minister's Questions is more than a Punch and Judy When I knock on people’s doors, I sometimes hear the following refrain.

"In some areas, First Past the Post could mean MPs getting elected on as little as 25% or 30% of the vote.

That is not sustainable for British politics, and it is time for Proportional Representation." 💯💯💯

Liberal Democrats are calling for the Government to halt the award of public contracts to Palantir, including the Ministry of Defence.

Palantir should be nowhere near our NHS.

The government should be setting out its plan for removing it from our health service as soon as possible.

UK currently generating 112% of its electricity demand (with the extra 12% being transferred or stored)

Gas is generating < 12%

So UK is currently meeting 100% of its electricity needs via renewables

I came into politics to change things for my local community.

There are really good people who may want to stand as councillors and MPs who are deterred by the tone of debate.

We need to change some of the ways in which we engage in politics, without diminishing anyone else.

Oh - the irony!!

"Reform's lawyers have sent the government a letter claiming the ban on crypto donations is illegal under article 7 of the Human Rights Act - the same Human Rights Act Reform have vowed to scrap"

UK to give homes ‘free energy’ instead of turning off wind turbines Europe’s outdated and under-invested energy grid means huge amounts of renewable energy are wasted every year.

University of Oxford : maximising oil and gas extraction here would only save UK households up to £82 (€95) per year. A UK fully powered by renewable energy, would save households up to £441 (€510) a year on energy bills.

Vote Lib Dems on May 7 for a local champion who’ll fix what matters.

Farage lashes out at YouGov as Reform’s poll lead fades Nigel Farage has attacked YouGov – but the data suggests Reform’s support is falling across multiple polls

Polls flattering you: gospel truth.

Polls not flattering you: conspiracy.

Farage takes aim at YouGov – but the numbers from multiple polling orgs tell their own story about Reform's waning support.
