If a party gains power via a manifesto of lies, & a pathetic % of a pathetic turnout which is NOT A MANDATE, it’s bizarre they get to trash the U.K. in those short months & are allowed to enact every idiot new surprise ideological wet dream of deranged ministers or their leader

@JeremyVineOn5 Which half?

Should half of politicians be women? In this week's local and devolved elections more than two-thirds of the candidates will be men. So, should we take drastic action to make sure women are better represented?

@thetimes Not a second one, hopefully.

@ScotNational Who? Based on a bit part in Spy Kids back in the day?

Hollywood superstar Alan Cumming wants an independence supermajority - but he says if it's to work, Green voters need to back the SNP on the constituency vote. 'Please don't undermine the chance of an SNP majority,' he says in the new video What do you make of the call?

@SkyNews So Sky is now ‘according to’ news?

BREAKING: Iran has said it stopped a US warship from entering the Strait of Hormuz. Two missiles hit the warship near Jask Island after it ignored Iranian warnings, according to Iran's Fars news agency. Middle East war latest: trib.al/EjNHvn0 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube

@Heidi_Labour @LabourSwindon @bbclaurak It’s a mystery.

What are the chances of that?! @LabourSwindon were the back drop for the set on @bbclaurak this weekend. Felt like they were literally there with me.

@OliLondonTV Didn’t get looks either?

Sister of Bella and Gigi Hadid CELEBRATES Rudy Giuliani being rushed to hospital in critical condition. Palestinian-American model Alana Hadid has posted a video gloating over the 81 year old former NYC Mayor being hospitalized.

@AngelaRayner @patrick_hurley Prefer a shot of vodka or gin on yours?

I know the difference an affordable, healthy breakfast can make for children. Together with local leaders like @patrick_hurley we’re creating more breakfast clubs like this one in Southport. Vote Labour 7th May, so we can give more kids the chance to learn free from hunger.

@SkyNews @HarrietHarman Or….. is Hattie prepping for an even worse turnout for her crowd, and a ‘mandate’ for the ‘victors’, this time?

Is Wales’ complicated voting system putting off voters? @HarrietHarman thinks the new Welsh voting system is so complicated it could be putting voters off. Plus, what could happen in the Senedd elections? Listen to #ElectoralDysfunction: podfollow.com/ElectoralDysfu…

@OborneTweets Have more than a dozen read it?

Just read Sir Keir Starmer's article in today's Observer. Has it been scripted by AI? observer.co.uk/news/opinion-a…

@BanGaoRen So the % of posts that are non genuine…

Genuinely think the Green Party should write a formal complaint to Sky News about Trevor Philip's interview of Zack Polanski today. Not even the pretence of reporting and good faith questioning.

@itvnews 1 in 18.

@JohnCrookes7 It’s true that now political competitors only seek to replace incumbents and acquire power, but to do so they still need public will to accelerate the process. So they are tackling the weakest link of a very rusty party chain. Cynical, yes. No change, yes. Sadly inevitable, yes.

The fact that Sir Keir Starmer's opponents want him gone shows how much they fear his ongoing success will deny them the opportunity of being elected to government. His honesty and decency is a breath of fresh air and we are lucky to have him in charge.

@ThatTimWalker @ZackPolanski Maybe, even… a Timmeh ‘attack’?

‘Don’t try that one on me,’ rants Sir Trevor. This isn’t an interview with @ZackPolanski, it’s an Orwellian ‘two-minutes hate.’

@Highwayman114 @ghost_wales Not exactly a plus, mind.

Do all candidates in local councils elections normally get The Chancellor of the exchequer helping with their campaign, or just the neice of the prime minister 🤔

@DailyMail TV reality show DEI hires… what are they really like?

@catturd2 Our PM looks like an old school races bookie.

Every person who talks with their hands this exaggerated, is always a a liar and a con-artist.

@DailyMail And that, Dear Reader, is how current ‘democracy’ works.
