Thank you, Britain Elects

Thanks to Christmas, there are no council by-elections this week either on the traditional Thursday on an unconventional different day. So here’s a suggestion for a little good deed to fill the void.

You’ll have probably noticed how heavily I, like many others, rely on the Britain Elects Twitter account and website when covering by-elections.

Run by Ben Walker and Dayle Taylor, with by-election previews by Andrew Teale, Britain Elects provides a fab service. If you’ve enjoyed my coverage of by-elections, you too have been indirectly dependent on Britain Elects.

So why not give them a little thank you this Christmas with a quick donation to help the service so many of us rely on keep going?

And if you’re able to be a little more generous, here are two other great causes:

• BookTrust, which transforms lives by getting children and families reading
• ALDC’s Fighting Fund, which particularly helps weaker Liberal Democrat local parties build up and fight by-elections
