Dear @BBCPolitics you are doing lots of vox pop in constituencies / towns. I have been following BBC output on Radio 4 and BBC news today. Your reporters on 3 different programmes talked to voters in three Leave areas - Stoke, Broxtowe, Walsall North - but no Remain areas. Why ?

Peter Kellner, one of the country’s most experienced election pollsters, now believes Labour ‘has more to lose than gain’ by pursuing a pro-Brexit agenda. He warns that younger, more progressive voters could be forced to support the Lib Dems or Green Party

Labour now 'at risk of LOSING votes' for supporting Brexit

Keir Starmer's insistence on backing Brexit could now cost the Labour Party dearly at the next election, according to the experts.

Yes, I have to admit to being one of those dangerous and extreme Lib Dems. I tell people off for dropping litter in the street. I also get extremely annoyed when fellow passengers on the 417 bus block the exit doors, while seats are available. Should I apply to join the Taliban ?

in October 2010, five months after becoming a Minister, Ed Davey met with Alan Bates to hear his concerns. He was the first Minister on record to meet Mr Bates. The 4 Conservative Postal Affairs Ministers from 2015-2019 recorded no meetings with Mr Bates

The Post Office Horizon Scandal

The Post Office Horizon scandal is an appalling miscarriage of justice. Ed Davey was the first Minister on record meeting with Alan Bates, just five months after becoming a Minister.

Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV you really are a total shit. Your interview with Ed Davey was a total disgrace. Why are you pursuing the Tory/right-wing media agenda in singling him out for blame. Will you also bully the 15 Labour & Tory ex-PO ministers in post since 1999 to apologise ?

The Tory-supporting Times tries to do a hatchet job on Ed Davey. But Ed was the only minister to agree to meet with Alan Bates. The FIVE Labour Ministers before 2010 refused to meet him & the other postmasters. The FOUR Conservative after 2015 also failed to meet with them.

Exclusive: Alan Bates became so exasperated with Ed Davey (when post office minister) he stopped engaging with him He told Davey in 2011: "having nailed your colours to [Post Office's] mast...there was little point in continuing a dialogue with you" 1/

First Past the Post leaves many people feeling powerless as their votes do not count. Lib Dems will: ✅ Introduce proportional representation for electing MPs and local councillors ✅ Scrap the Conservatives’ voter ID scheme ✅ Give 16- and 17-year-olds the right to vote.

Jo Swinson showed incredible grace in defeat. Compare and contrast with Nicola Sturgeon's absolutely jubilant reaction to Jo's defeat. She couldn't have shown greater enthusiasm if it had been Boris Johnson who had lost his seat. #NastyNationalism

Streatham High Road, this afternoon, at 2.30pm - choc a bloc with traffic. And its half term, and not even rush hour ! I wonder what's causing it ? I don't suppose it could be anything to do with the newly-introduced #Streatham Wells #LTN covering all the roads east of High Rd ?

"The main challenge for the [Mid Beds] seat appears to come from the Lib Dems with party leader Sir Ed Davey already campaigning there in the hope a by-election will soon be called, hoping to overturn Ms Dorries' majority of 24,664."

Nadine Dorries expected to hit back at town council's demand she quits as an MP

Nadine Dorries announced in June she would quit as an MP "with immediate effect" but has not resigned her seat yet.

The party, still scarred by five years of coalition government with the Tories, would rule out a formal pact with Keir Starmer’s party if the next election delivered another hung Parliament

I just wish that it had been Ed Davey leading the Liberal Democrats into the last General Election, as I know we wouldn't have ended up with such a disastrous result. We need Ed's experience and sound judgement to rebuild the Party - not to mention his climate change expertise !

I still don’t understand why he refused to meet Alan Bates and the Justice for Sub-Postmasters Alliance, which had been formed, with scores of affected sub-postmasters, the year before he took office. Many MPs were also raising these issues from the backbenches. 1/
