The number of letters sent to MPs via WriteToThem has soared after the prime minister and chancellor were hit with Fixed Penalty Fines for breaking their own lockdown rules.

On Tuesday, 1,569 people contacted their elected representatives via the website, a more than ten-fold spike versus the previous day.

WriteToThem.com provides UK citizens with an easy way to contact their MPs and sheds insight into how current events correlate with the number of messages being processed.

It isn’t the only route for making contact with MPs, but has become an increasingly popular one.

Voter registrations

Meanwhile, applications to vote in elections taking place across the UK next month have jumped ahead of Thursday’s deadline.

Contests are taking place on May 5 in each of the four nations, with every council seat in Scotland, Wales, London and many parts of England up for grabs, along with the election of a new Northern Ireland assembly.

But people who have not yet registered to vote, or are not sure if they are eligible, have not long to apply.

A total of 28,273 applications were made on Tuesday, Government figures show.

This is double the daily average for the year so far and the highest for a single day since last autumn.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
