Restore Britain on track to be the biggest political movement in the UK. Senior Reform people like Matt Goodwin now calling them 'racist'. It is over for Reform, momentum gone. HOWEVER, we have an electoral system that is difficult to crack. A Miliband/Polanski ticket could sneak through.

We need electoral reform, but not in the form of a stitch-up that favours the 2-party system and locks communities out of democracy. The government’s electoral reform bill needs proper scrutiny. Watch.

Ed Davey saying the quiet part out loud. He wants PR to happen just to stop Reform. He sees Reform as a threat to democracy after *checks notes* millions of people voted for Reform to win the local elections. A liberal’s motto is if you can’t beat them, change the system.

Put British People First. During a Labour MPs rant today in the Commons I had to intervene. He was bleating on about benefits and attacking Reform UK on our policy to only pay benefits to British people. We don't think it's fair on the British taxpayer to pay benefits to non British nationals. Listen to his pathetic reply. Vote Reform UK

Ed Davey, "Increasingly, people don't trust the Conservatives or Labour, more and more say they can't believe in what they offer" "What people are looking for is change, and how can we improve the standard of living, how can we make things better again?" "Reform UK is offering change but it's not true to British values, it's a bit like Trump's America" "The more you see and hear Farage he wants to do what Trump does in America" "A health service based on health insurance" "They want to frack across our countryside" "It's change but is it the change people want?" "Take electoral reform. Nigel Farage used to be in favour of electoral reform, not any longer. You can't trust him on change"
