"Dear Diary,
There were six by-elections in England and Scotland this week and Reform lost all of them. Two of them were seats we previously held. The problem with running councils is that people can see how useless we are."

A new YouGov poll commissioned by Best for Britain found that restoring EU membership is the most popular option for the UK’s relationship with Europe in 628 of GB’s 632 constituencies.

The polling suggests that full membership itself is becoming a mainstream preference across the country.
