🚨NEW POLLING🚨

Despite a PM found guilty of breaking the law, a terrible local election result & a budget that's failed to address the cost of living crisis...

In the most likely scenario, Labour will still fall 18 seats SHORT of an overall majority. 1/
bestforbritain.org/new_election_p…
Why? It's the regressive alliance influence.

In the last two elections, other right-wing parties stood aside for the Conservatives so as not to split the vote in key seats.

In our large-scale, constituency level polling, this results in a hung parliament 👇 2/
🚨BUT...

If the opposition parties work together in the next election, Labour are projected to win 323 seats and the Liberal Democrats 13, putting them comfortably in the position of forming a coalition government 👇 3/
Voters are behind the idea of a #ProgressiveAlliance.

We asked people to tell us whether they agreed that the leaders of Labour and Liberal Dems should cooperate more closely with the Green Party leaders.

54% of Labour supporters agreed - and only 12% disagreed. 4/
The idea's popular with Lib Dem supporters too.

56% want closer cooperation between the leaders of Labour, the Lib Dems and the Greens. 5/
Green Party supporters also want closer cooperation between leaders - by 74%. 6/
Our CEO @pimlicat says to win, "Labour needs to do what the Conservatives most fear them doing, and that’s working with the Lib Dems and Greens at election time." #ProgressiveAlliance 7/
"Parties on the right reliably stand down for each other to secure majority governments on a minority of votes. Our data shows the safest way for opposition parties to defeat this corrupt and failing Gov is to stand aside for one another in the seats they can’t win." @pimlicat 8/
“We saw last week in the local elections that voters up and down the country are already collaborating to get rid of this government. Their party leaders need to catch up.” @pimlicat 9/
Lib Dem MP @LaylaMoran: “In an election where the opposition vote is split, many voters will want to back the candidate most likely to win and deliver change. To this end we must be honest with each other about the situation in each constituency...” 10/
"...and ensure that the voters have the information they need to lock the Tories out of power.” @LaylaMoran 11/
🌶️ JUICY POLLING STAT: In all scenarios we polled, whether opposition parties work together or not, the Prime Minister is projected to lose his seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip 🔥 12/
Green MP @CarolineLucas: “This polling shows that in many constituencies, the Green Party holds the key to beating the Conservatives, a point underlined by our strong performance in the local elections last week." 13/
“Our door is open to cooperation with other parties who must now decide if they want to gamble the future of this country in a game where the odds are stacked against them.” @CarolineLucas 14/
Now this comes down to us.

We need to tell the leaders of Labour, the Lib Dems and the Greens to work together to oust this corrupt Government at the next election.

🚨THIS IS A DEMOCRATIC EMERGENCY🚨
The government’s utterly terrifying Elections Bill is back in parliament today. Here’s everything you need to know about the bill and the voting tonight. 🧵1/15
Along with the Policing Bill, Borders Bill, changes to both Judicial Review and the Official Secrets Act, the #ElectionsBill is part of the government’s attack on democracy and accountability in the UK.

With it they want to rig elections in their favour. 2/15
Working with peers and MPs, we’ve helped force the government into major concessions on the bill - including removing proposals that would have given ministers the power to ban campaigners they don’t like during elections. 3/15

🚨BREAKING🚨: Best for Britain's #PolicingBill amendment protecting your right to protest outside Parliament has just been passed in HoL. MPs will now be asked to vote on it. bestforbritain.org/best_for_brita… 1/4
“While it’s not our only objection to this Bill, this victory should give hope to everyone who believes that civil rights are not a partisan issue and that no government should be allowed to silence the people they represent." - B4B CEO @pimlicat 2/4
"I hope MPs will support the right for large peaceful protests to continue to take place in Parliament Square and recognise that the Policing Bill needs to be amended so that permission can be given for these protests to go ahead." - Lord Colville who tabled the amendment 3/4

Britain as a nation has a heritage of standing up to despots and providing sanctuary to the oppressed. Yet the PCSC bill threatens this heritage by impeding our democratic right to freedom of speech and expression. 2/

"Progressives ought to embrace strategic voting with a vengeance next week to weaken Mr Johnson’s position."

Yes. Cooperation between progressive parties needs to start now to be able to oust this Government at the next general election. 1/

Our analysis shows fielding unity candidates between Labour, the Lib Dems and Greens in 154 battleground constituencies in England would relegate the Conservatives to just 254 of 533 seats in England, leaving them 40 seats short of a majority & unable to form a government. 2/
This is the case even if the Conservatives were to hold their 20 Scottish and Welsh seats and gain the support of the DUP’s 8 MPs.

So Labour would only need to step back in 26 seats where the Lib Dems have greater support to oust this government at the next general election. 3/
