An average of 1 in 4 women will be affected by domestic abuse in their lifetime and an average of 2 women a week are killed by their abuser. Could you set up a regular gift to Refuge today, funding lifesaving services, and help us protect the lives of women experiencing abuse?
It's not 'Tory sleaze' that will topple Sunak, it's the Tory squeeze on family finances. My latest column for @theipaper inews.co.uk/opinion/not-sl…
Rishi Sunak loves to use the phrase 'record' where it's a con (eg 'record' nos of GPs or new homes) But this is real record achievement: 💥LOWEST @IpsosUK TORY VOTING INTENTION (19%, worst in 45 yrs' surveys) 💥JOINT LOWEST EVER PM RATINGS (-59%, worse than Truss, bad as Major)
Grant Shapps, whose party has spent weeks suggesting Angela Rayner is a tax-dodging criminal, now says we shouldn't rush to judgement about suspended Conservative MP Mark Menzies "Just because an accusation is made, or something is written, doesn't mean it is necessarily proven"
NEW: ministers have admitted that defence spending will not reach 2.5% until after the election - by me in @theipaper inews.co.uk/news/politics/…

Top thread ⬇️
George Galloway and the Lib Dems, a Tale of 5 Acts. 🧵 1. Galloway says the Lib Dems are the most ‘utterly vile, unprincipled and treacherous’ party he’s ever encountered in 50 years in politics
Our final goal of the season was a winning one 👌 #RAFC
Losing will be hard for the Tories. Rebuilding could be even harder. A despairing piece on whether majority Conservatism could be a thing of the past thetimes.co.uk/article/once-t…
Fellow hacks will recognise that special feeling when you get a quote as good as this @billykenber @thetimes #Menzies #ToryMP
.@EdwardJDavey and @andykelly I’ll ask again: Are the Lib Dems in a pact with George Galloway in Heywood and Middleton North?
Back out in Smallbridge for our terrific Labour candidate (even if I am slightly biased 😉) @CllrBlundell #LabourDoorstep 🌹
After some tough moments throughout the season, this man has shown amazing character to come back and end it on fire 🔥😮💨 @DevanteRodney baby 👏 #RAFC
Lots of extrapolation in this thread. The EU debate on UK has moved on - both in Bxl & capitals. The geopolitical context is diff. Soon UK political context will be too. Yet Anand remains stuck in 2016. If anything, this episode nicely demonstrates how fragmented EU of 2024 is 1/
None of this is new. But it's becoming increasingly clear. There will, foreign policy aside, be no easy wins for a Starmer Government. Which, in turn, raises the questions as to how much time and effort such a Government will ultimately want to spend on the EU. END
We have expressed our sincere disappointment at the announcement regarding the scrapping of FA Cup replays from the first round onwards. #RAFC

Timing of @EU_Commission move on youth mobility very odd. Bxl knows Labour can't afford to have an election debate about something that looks like free movement. So why do it now? Suggests defensiveness: Bxl unclear about how to handle Lab & greater openness to it in EU capitals
🚨🇬🇧🇪🇺🚨Labour says it has “no plans” for doing a youth mobility deal with EU — says it is “synonymous with free movement” (it isn’t) …but another poor sign for those hoping Labour will be brave on EU. /1 Via @FT on.ft.com/49NVCLf

Just come across Liz Truss saying “I hadn’t gone into politics to deal with floods or fix prisons.” Why not? Wouldn’t politics be much better if she felt her job was to fix such things? This is a fundamental problem with our system @RestIsPolitics unherd.com/2024/04/why-li…
This reminds me of @JonnElledge's theory that playing to certain "friendly" media outlets has been very damaging for the Tories because it has made them feel that they are much more closer to the "general public" than they actually are and shielded them from their unpopularity...
— @JLPartnersPolls shows that in the last 5 years, the “crossover age” where voters become more likely to back the Tories has risen by an astonishing 31 years — over-70s is now the only age group more likely to vote Tory — Tories reliant on pensioners bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
