I should run a competition - how many of these Gov announcements, all released in last 4 days, have you heard about??? #DoingTheMediasJob #FixingBritain #LabourAchievements

I’ll be so pissed off if this is a wind up.

But the guy who boasted he wanted to smell and lick Carol Vorderman's a******e passed with flying colours.

It’s clearly the right outcome that the Court of Appeal will review the sentences of this distressing case.

Surely he was asked about this the last time he was on a major BBC programme? No??? Why not?

Don't understand what the Kenyon debate is. Jokes with friends in private is one thing. But Twitter is not a private space. It's a public space. It's why we all come here. If you want to stand for public office accept that and take responsibility. Or go and do something else.

@MatthewStadlen @Hlrybuck Yes, it doesn’t get anymore blatant than that. I keep asking him to share this great vision he has for our country. To explain the kind of policies he’d like to see enacted in the UK. Crickets! I guess Mr Musk finds it a lot easier to buy politicians than to be one himself.

@DPJHodges @lmharpin I think the membership will vote for Keir, again

@lmharpin No you're not. You're bothered about protecting Starmer at any cost.

Just to add to the chaos I'm now being told by multiple sources from different parties that canvass returns for Makerfield show Restore significantly outperforming the 7% revealed in the Times poll. I suspect that's what's underpinning the current Reform meltdown.

'It does send out a message, unfortunately, that rape isn't being taken very seriously' Nazir Afzal, a former chief crown prosecutor, spoke to #BBCBreakfast after three teenage boys were spared custodial sentences over the rape of two girls in Hampshire bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Foreign billionaire attempts to influence British election.

Reform's increasingly frenzied attacks on Restore represents the biggest example of the Streisand Effect in British political history. In years to come PPE students will be reading text books about all this.

Labour delivering latest. Home Office:

So just to sum up. Labour win a 174 seat majority under Keir Starmer and return to power after almost a decade and a half. They find governing challenging against the backdrop of struggling public services and low growth, and make unforced errors (winter fuel, Mandelson etc). Social media conspiracies, led by Elon Musk, contribute to a toxic political climate. Nigel Farage, the architect-in-chief of Brexit (which made things harder than they needed to be) pops up with his divisive rhetoric and poorly thought through policies and… Labour MPs, egged on by the media, panic. If Andy Burnham, a man without a plan, wins a staged by-election, he likely becomes Prime Minister. He then either calls a general election and loses Labour its hard fought majority, or struggles through for a couple of years before Farage is better “prepared” to move into Number 10. Stupid doesn’t cover it.

Has Robert Kenyon, Reform’s candidate in the Makerfield by-election, done any media interviews yet? You’d think, with all the negative publicity about his now-deleted social media accounts, he’d want to get his side of the story across.

At last - Ofcom needs to be wound up and started from scratch - a regulator captured by the private sharks it's supposed to protect us from 👇🏽

“We’ve got a PM who is doing a cracking job. We’ve got a cabinet who are delivering. Bringing NHS waiting lists down, inflation coming down, highest growth in the G7. We’re a government that’s focused on delivery” Labour Party Chair Anna Turley tells @SkyNews

Starmer replaced Jess Phillips and he sacked Lucy Powell. He hasn’t done much jigging around of his key people. But he did them. That tells me he knew what was going on. He’s been aware for some time. Therefore plans are in place. These will be executed when the time is right.
