Living abroad? Listen up!

Best for Britain Dear John, You have ONE WEEK to register to vote. If you’re a British citizen living overseas, you will want a proxy vote. But to get a proxy vote, you first need to get on the register. If you’re not registered already, you can do it quickly and simply r…

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…

DEADLINE: 26/11/19

Best for Britain Dear John, The deadline to register to vote is in just two weeks. My friend Kate assumed she was registered to vote. She pays council tax, she's lived in the same place for many years, she likes to think she's politically engaged. But Kate was actually on…

Farage bottles it

Best for Britain Dear John, Farage won't stand. Now neither will they. Nigel Farage has demanded nearly half of his candidates stand down to help Boris Johnson. The Brexit Party leader announced that none of their candidates would stand in any of the 317 seats the Tories …

Off with a bang🎉

Best for Britain Dear John, Parliament is closed! The election starts here. This election will be won or lost on tactical voting. Our data shows that just a third of Remainers voting tactically would prevent the Conservative Party from returning a majority at the upcomin…

Russian polls

Best for Britain Dear John, Dominic Cummings is being investigated for his Russian ties. Johnson told “so many lies” during Brexit vote, says EU leader. Now the Government won’t publish a report into Russian interference until after the election. Can we afford to have t…

👻 Unholy Alliance 👻

Best for Britain Dear John, Nigel Farage called on Johnson to "build a Leave alliance".  Taking advice from his “friend in America”, Donald Trump, Farage demanded a pact with the Conservatives to maximise Leave MPs in Parliament.   This throws the gauntlet down to Jerem…

Tactical Voting 2019

Another victory!

Super Saturday

Best for Britain Dear John, Letwin has passed. This is a major victory in the battle to stop Brexit. We’ve bought ourselves valuable time. Crucially, this shows that MPs do not trust Boris Johnson not to run us off the cliff edge of a no deal Brexit. The Prime Minster tri…

Humbug

Here's what I think is going on

Best for Britain Dear John, What is going on? Politics is (always) moving fast. Boris Johnson will do anything to force a no-deal Brexit on our country. And he wants to shift the blame onto anyone else for whatever happens. His language in Parliament has brought shame on …
