Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social responds in Hull Daily Mail (5 March) to claims that #LeedsForEurope and other #RejoinEU groups are โ€œbiasedโ€.

If youโ€™re looking for real misinformation about #Brexit, Peter suggests examining parts of the press and certain opaque โ€œthink tanksโ€.

Caroline Lucas: Scotland, we need to talk about how we can take on the far right Iโ€™ll be discussing what I learned while campaigning in the Gorton and Denton by-election, and how we can take on the far right together

If Scotland were to design a modern democratic constitution &, with it, return to the EU, then perhaps England would find a way to follow. My piece for @scotnational.bsky.social ahead of public meetings in Edinburgh & Glasgow next week - makehopepossible.org/tickets

Reform UK is most disliked party in Britain, poll finds Not going well for Farage...

It's official. Reform UK is the most disliked party in UK politics, according to new polling. Polling carried out by research group More in Common asked voters which parties they would tactically block, and found that 38% of Brits would vote against Reform, up nine points since last November.

Compare these different messages. Which is best?

- โ€œWe should follow EU rules for food productionโ€

- โ€œWe need to align to common EU food standards againโ€

- โ€œwe should work across different countries to guarantee food quality and safetyโ€

That why good Government communications matter.

Polling holds too much sway over our democracy and governance. But the G&D by-election does show that Reformโ€™s dominance is inflated by foreign/rightwing interests, irresponsible media support and Farageโ€™s ego.
If progressives can win despite all that, then hatred really is overpriced. Hope can win.

The reasons we joined the EU in the first place have not gone away. They just need rediscovering because people have forgotten why it happened.

Just for the record, Reform UK also didnโ€™t win any council by-elections tonight.

Surely this calls in to question Nigel Farageโ€™s leadership.

Yet another Brexit prediction turns to dust The europhobes said if we left the EU, other countries would follow. Wrong. In fact, the opposite has happened โ€“ nations

No.

The Baltic States are facing a multitude of challenges.

We must support these regions and show our solidarity.

With our Eastern border regions strategy, we're investing in their strength.

Because this is where our Union's security, resilience and stability lies.

The fact Farage couldnโ€™t bring himself to condemn a death threat shared by a Reform councillor against another MP is beyond appalling.

Surely by now we can all see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger and uses the scapegoating of minorities to gain support.

However you decide to vote please donโ€™t fall for the politics of division offered by Reform
