Election Post-Mortem

Best for Britain Dear John, It’s been a difficult couple of months. But our disappointment at the election result is tempered by a quiet pride in what we did achieve. And if it had not been for all your hard work, the result could have been so much worse. With this in min…

A new fight is beginning

Best for Britain Dear John, This is a call to arms. The time for tribalism is over. Disengagement with civil society or cynicism about politics is not the answer.   An internationalist alliance between people, and between parties, is vital. I encourage all of you, if you …

You've been ignoring me :(

Best for Britain Dear John, Brexit isn’t abstract. It isn’t something to get done and forget about. Brexit is permanent. A cross-party Government. That’s temporary. A referendum campaign. That could be done in a couple of months. Now is the time to see the bigger picture.…

Will you take the test?

Best for Britain Dear John, Nearly 1 in 5 people aren’t registered to vote. We need 1 in 3 Remainers to vote tactically to get the Tories out. You registering to vote is a blow to Johnson.  The Tories don’t want people like you to vote.   That’s why we’re trying to get th…

Framing the Fight

Best for Britain Dear John, Vote Tory. Get Farage. Vote tactically. Stop Brexit. We know this election will be decided by tactical voting. Farage and Johnson know it. That’s why they’ve struck a deal. We know the Remain side need to do the same, to put their tribalism asi…

Farage bottles it
