Excellent news to start the day - a big MRP poll from Electoral Calculus/Find Out Now with over 10,000 respondents has Restore Britain matching the Greens on a record 8%. That number hits 10% for us under a PR scenario. Next aim - get ahead of the Lib Dems. Superb progress.

In Parliament, I am doing everything in my power to fight for the British people.

Superb news. Restore Britain just hit our best ever election result outside of Great Yarmouth - Marcia Talbot won over 14% of the vote for Peterlee in the North East. Very proud of Marcia and her team. We also scored more than the Lib Dems and Greens combined in Shepshed in Leicestershire. I want to thank everyone who voted for us, and everyone who campaigned for our candidates. This is a team effort. The votes we are winning do not belong to us, and we have a fight on our hands to hold that trust. That's democracy. Let's keep pushing on.

A reminder an HGV driver wrote to me. He delivers live animals to abattoirs & describes the places as sadistic, vile & depraved cruelty. Halal slaughter should be banned immediately. "David I need to remain anonymous to keep my job as I work for a large multinational that are very PC/woke and me getting involved in any sort of discussion like this would cost me my job. "I’ve worked previously as a HGV driver delivering livestock to slaughterhouses. In the build up to Ramadan the company I worked for made sheep deliveries to halal slaughterhouses up and down the country. "We’d always deliver after dark and the loading bays would be full of Muslim men and boys who’d come to choose their sheep. They’d be climbing up the outside of the trailer to get a look in and try pick which one they wanted. They’d be shouting and screaming whilst banging on the trailer to try get the sheep to move around. "Drivers would always do their best to try stop them as the animals are still in their care whilst on the vehicle. Once the trailer door was open the men would be jumping in the trailers trying to grab their sheep and mark it. We’d often end up physically removing the men and a few times it ended up in fists flying. "Once the sheep had been herded into the slaughterhouse pens the real barbarism would begin. After waiting hours and hours with no access to water the Sheep were punched and kicked by the men and boys and forced onto the waiting line to be slaughtered. The whole place is absolute chaos with people screaming and shouting and the sound of dying animals. "Once they reached the front of the queue there’d be an imam sat there reciting prayers as the slaughter man grabbed the animal by the head, spun it round and slit its throat. It would then be hung upside down on an overhead hook conveyor and transported for butchering as it was still bleeding and writhing around in agony. "It’s not an instant death by any means. The supposed “vet” whose job is to maintain welfare standards is nearly always a friend of the owners and is also Muslim who’s paid and simply turns a blind eye. The whole place is a complete blood bath. Zero welfare standards, zero compassion. "In comparison we used to deliver pigs to slaughterhouses and the welfare levels are immense. Animals were herded without any physical contact at all, if you so much as touched an animal the vet would have you and your company banned from the site immediately and reported to the relevant authorities too. "The animals are slaughtered with a single bolt to the back of the head. It’s instant and pain free. "I just thought I’d give some inside information as to what goes on. "Halal meat is vile and it needs to be banned."

I have very important news to share this morning. Restore Britain has just overtaken the Reform membership in Scotland - more than Labour, the Tories, the Greens. Restore Britain is now the second largest party in Scotland - historic. We are going to take the fight to the SNP.
