Brace for a lot of ‘momentous’ and ‘unprecedented’ commentary. In the meantime Nigel Farage breathing huge sigh of relief as the whole £5million gift blown off the front pages. Another Labour own goal.

Spurs are still yet to be awarded a penalty in the Premier League this season They saw a penalty shout in the 111th-minute turned away ❌

If this does play out and Starmer is somehow ousted, do these Labour figures think that the media will miraculously back off and allow them to govern? Because if they do, I’d like to invite them all to the grand opening of my new bridge emporium.

@vicderbyshire Can we just have a boring PM for a little longer. He's made mistakes but he is morally decent albeit politically naive. Let's stop with the swiping left and let him get the country on a better path. There might be mistakes but no one is going to achieve anything without time.

Care Minister Stephen Kinnock tells #Newsnight that Cabinet ministers ‘may well’ tell Sir Keir Starmer at the weekly cabinet meeting tomorrow, it’s time to step down ‘They may well do ...I don't live in the heads of any of my colleagues in the cabinet… ‘It is clear for everybody to see that a lot of people are either coming out and calling for Keir to resign or whatever it might be, and it is possible that members of the cabinet might do that, I genuinely have no idea at all. What I am simply saying is that, any one of my colleagues who is potentially thinking of doing that, I just hope that they really will take a beat, pause, reflect, and think about the potential that that has for chaos that might be unleashed, and think about what we said when this carousel of chaos under the Conservatives was happening’ Interview will air at 2230 on BBC Newsnight

If you depose a man who led you to a 174 seat majority less than two years ago, you’d better know what you’re doing, or Nigel Farage becomes Prime Minister.

@BethRigby Like vultures round the carcass that the vultures pecked to death.

I’m outside No 10 Downing Street tonight and hearing that the takeaways are being ordered in. It’s going to be a long night as PM and team battle for survival. Now 63 MPs calling for him to go, including 5 ministerial aides - four of whom have quit govt

New idea. Next time we publish a report on a politician, I’ll keep the politician’s name blanked out for a week, and let everyone take positions before they find out who it is.

I’d feel sorry for West Ham but I had a cream egg bounced off the back of my head there about 4 years ago so fuck them.

200,000 people in 8 years. That is only 0.29% of the UK population over 8 years. Yet it’s in the news every single day. In that same time 4,000,000 people have emigrated away from the UK (twenty times as many people). The news is in league with Farage. Sadly it’s working.

He’s very rattled about this and rightly so. It’s a scandal.

Are there other multi-million pound gifts to Nigel Farage that we don’t know about? 👇My full exchange with Reform’s Zia Yusuf

As I said on @bbcquestiontime - Farage’s £5m bung from some crypto tycoon in Thailand absolutely stinks. And Yusuf’s evasion here makes it stink even more. If Starmer or Badenoch had been caught doing this without declaring it, Farage & Yusuf would demand they resign.

Meet Little Serenget – and her singular drinking style. Seven months ago, she arrived in our care with a bullet wound. Today, she has her Keepers mastering an entirely new milk-feeding technique on her behalf – far more time-consuming and labour-intensive than the regular method, but ending with the same result: two nutritious bottles of milk inside her belly. If she's happy, we're happy. We have raised over 300 orphaned elephants, but this technique is new to us. Still, every orphan who comes into our care is unique, and it's our job to meet them where they are. Discover Serenget 's rescue story: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/sereng…

Good job the people in the Winchester area, not a single Reform member on the council👏 #elections #localcouncil

And just like that, the very wealthiest party in the U.K. backed by foreign billionaires is supported by the very poorest members of society who dislike foreigners. You couldn’t make this shit up.

Just met a Reform UK voting couple who didn't know it opposed: Rise in minimum wage End of two-child benefit cap Expansion of free school meals, free breakfast clubs Help with school uniforms Horrified that they would lose big from Reform How many others voted without knowing?

people in this country hate immigrants so much they’ll vote for a party that wants to take away free healthcare it’s so sad it’s laughable

An estimated 74% of voters who bothered to turn out in the local elections yesterday did NOT vote for Reform. Let that sink in. And then adjust your hyperbole accordingly.

One day we will figure out how the Iranian theocratic government became so good at trolling the US, and that too using US-style pop culture memes and lines.
