Good.But they now need to look properly at all failings of accurate/ balanced reporting across the organisation.Lessons need to be learned right across the output notably long term is their biased reporting of the sex/gender debate.Ofcom needs eyes too.👀 https://t.co/s3Zhjha4Bo

After a long and enjoyable campaign polling day is nearly here. It has been good to get out and meet so many people to talk about the issues that matter to you. Representing the area where I have lived and worked all my life has been a privilege and hope I can continue to do so https://t.co/MHQUq6tpe2

⁦⁦@LibDems⁩ leadership would do well to cast their eyes over these yougov poll results. We’ve had heads in the sand for far too long.Membership shows more support for Cass review and for the non medicalisation of children with gender distress. https://t.co/T9prdSu6ur

The only thing the French have done in the #FrenchElection is give the power to the 70%, because the 30% has had to much power for too long. However, watch the 30% throw their toys out there pram, I should imagine there will be riots tonight.

It's nice to see that the centre-left which are the majority in most countries in Europe are able to organise themselves and win elections. The right to have been doing it for far too long. #FrenchElection #GeneralElection2024
