Hey MP! is deliberately different to other 'write to your MP' campaign tools.

Other tools can be easily blocked or filtered out by MPs' offices because they all come from the same server.

Hey MP! helps people send template messages using their own email account on their own device. This means it's harder for MPs to mark these messages as spam and it makes it clearer to MPs that our campaigns are made up of thousands of individuals.

Step 2

Copy the template email text into your new email. Dear Stephen, I’m writing as your constituent to share a new report by the cross-party UK Trade and Business Commission, chaired by your parliamentary colleague Andrew Lewin MP. As you may have seen, several issues remain unresolved between the UK and EU negotiating teams regarding the Youth Experience Scheme agreed at the May Summit. These disagreements concern a cap on numbers, university fees, and Erasmus+. The new UKTBC report sets out the most detailed recommendations the government has received on these points. The report can be read in full here: https://www.tradeandbusiness.uk/ukeu-yes-scheme-report The 17 suggestions come from extensive consultation with experts on both sides of the Channel. The UKTBC brings together cross-party MPs, industry leaders, and former diplomats, and their work may help untangle the difficulties this issue has faced so far. Only by negotiating a YES deal can the country move forward in its renewed relationship with Europe. It would allow progress toward a deeper trading relationship and help reduce the barriers that continue to affect businesses and the cost of living. Reaching agreement on this issue would unlock the SPS deal, which matters for British farmers, fishers, and food prices. It would unlock the ETS energy deal, lowering energy costs for consumers and businesses. It would also create further opportunities and trust for the UK, signalling that the country is ready to move past Brexit and act as a reliable partner seeking mutually beneficial agreements with its closest neighbours. Support for a youth mobility scheme is also high. Almost three quarters of people in the UK (72 percent) favour its introduction, compared with 15 percent who do not. Breaking the deadlock would give young people the opportunities previous generations took for granted. Thank you for taking the time to read my email. I’d be grateful to hear your thoughts on this. Yours, A constituent
