Listening is a best practice if often underutilised PR tactic. In this guest post I asked agency owner and Conservative Party campaigner Graham Robb to write about this experience of the 2019 General Election.

We need a concerted effort to clean up political campaigning following the 2019 General Election campaign.

A story from the North of England about an attempt to move the news agenda on from a negative story for the Prime Minister and the Conservative Party.

The Libs Dems are playing a dirty disinformation game with the oldest form of political campaign media.

Aligning a brand with a political party is a tricky business. Boris Johnson endorses cider, Jo Swinson ethical clothing and Jeremy Corbyn an art gallery.

The penny has finally dropped. Persuading people not to vote is the easiest way to win an election.

The Conservative Party has discovered a way to get both supporters and detractors to share its message with their social media communities.

This General Election campaign is widening the gulf between political campaigning and the conventional norms of organisational communication.

The Conservative Party changed its Twitter account to @FactCheckUK during the ITV Leaders Debate. It’s plainly wrong.

A recent Ofcom report has reset bias in broadcast media during the election campaign. That’s a good thing.

The Conservative Party is running a Google Ad campaign targeting voters seeking to register to postal vote. It’s a dodgy means of data capture.

The Brexit Party will not stand candidates in seats won by Conservative Party candidates in 2017.

Newspapers are about as useful as campaign leaflets as a form of electoral scrutiny.

Boris Johnston has compared Jeremy Corbyn to Stalin in The Daily Telegraph. Nicknames seek to exaggerate and label an individual’s character. They stick if they resonate with the intended audience. Stalin doesn’t.

The Conservative Party blatantly manipulated a video interview with Shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer. Piers Morgan called it out. The campaign doubled down. The conversation continues.

Sky News journalist Kay Burley vented her fury live on air at James Cleverly’s failure to appear on her show.

If you make a mistake in a live media interview correct it and apologise as quickly as possible.

Purdah places restrictions on government and public bodies during elections. There have already been two claims over the misuse of communication and resources.
