A special request: my annual appeal

Thank you so much for being a reader of Liberal Democrat Newswire. With another year under its belt, this newsletter passed its fifteenth birthday last month, continuing to be, most likely,1 the longest-running single-authored political email newsletter in Britain. Eeek.

That is only possible thanks to the support of wonderful readers who mention my newsletters and podcasts to others, keeping the audiences growing rather than shrinking, and who donate to help cover the costs.

So long-term readers will know what is usually coming next at this time of year: an annual appeal to help cover the costs of running all these activities.

But this year, I’d like to try something slightly different, and instead encourage you to take out a subscription to the paid-for edition of my weekly newsletter about opinion polling, The Week in Polls.

So similar to an annual appeal except this time you get something in your email inbox once a week in return as well as the glow of goodness in your soul.

If you sign up now, you’ll also get 30% off The Week in Polls forever. That discount will carry over into future years too if you decide to keep subscribing.

It costs with that discount only £24.50 a year or £2.45 a month to get The Week in Polls each Sunday, with the free lead article and also the paid-for special round-up of 10 key insights from the latest polling data and analysis:

Here’s a taster of the headlines from some of the recent editions to give you a sense of what I cover:

• Three risks for Reform hiding in the data

• What council by-elections tell us about the changing political system

• Do the Lib Dems win more seats by winning more votes?

If you would be happy to help support Lib Dem Newswire but prefer a more traditional type of donation, that too would be lovely:

Either way, it'll only take you a few moments but your support will be much valued for many more than a few moments.

I know not everyone is able to make a donation, especially during these tough times. If that is you, then thank you for your readership and please do hit just delete on this email.

Best wishes,
