Kind of feel like I've been listening to the same song for the last two hours.

Kerching!
Darren Jones MP@darrenpjones
Each department in government will now have its own delivery unit, led by a senior civil servant. And every Secretary of State and Minister of State will be given a new “delivery advisor” in their private office to support this work. These new delivery functions will be accountable to both their Secretary of State and to my team. This builds on my recent work setting up the new joint No10 and Cabinet Office Delivery Unit.

'...from the NHS to the BBC.'
There we are, the full gamut of Britishness. Two twentieth-century institutions failing from top to bottom.
No wonder they're marching.
Torsten Bell@TorstenBell
The far right try to claim our flags but in truth hate our country. They despise what makes the rest of us proud & makes us British, from the NHS to our BBC. They peddle anti-British propaganda globally. Thousands may march today but millions more stand against hate & for Britain

Jokily put, but very pertinent.
How much are Labour going to commit to this by-election (and who exactly) when they know that winning it is the starting gun for a leadership election and, potentially, a General Election.

Starmer can totally screw up Burnham’s campaign in Makerfield simply by showing up and campaigning for him.

@Gusman409567522 @drchrisnewton That's been cancelled and the local group leader suspended by the party when it was revealed he'd gone against national party orders.
Keep up.

@PeterCosten @drchrisnewton Are you serious? The so-called Conservatives don't need any help in destroying themselves when they collaborate with the Greens, Liberals, and Independents to stop Reform controlling Worster council against the will of the electorate.
English
The Tories should stand aside for Reform in a Makerfield by-election. Reform are the main challengers there by some mile. This is more important than this Reform-Tory rivalry, and the Tories need to be mature enough to do the right thing.
English
@Lilyladles @drchrisnewton I don't want either and I wouldn't vote for either, not that it matters. There's no need for favours, Reform are likely to win the seat on their own anyway.
English
@PeterCosten @drchrisnewton Reform are your enemy because you would prefer Labour to Reform.
English
@Lilyladles @drchrisnewton Once he said that Reform intend to destroy the Tory party the two ceased to be ideological bedfellows and became enemies.
You don't do your enemy a favour. That's a problem for Reform to reconcile.
English
@PeterCosten @drchrisnewton After Farage stood down in 300 seats in 2019, the Conservatives do owe Reform a clear run in at least one seat.
But then the Tories would prefer a Labour win, so they won't.
English
@drchrisnewton I won't be complaining. Reform are as much an enemy as Labour for me all the time they are trying to destroy the party I most align with.
I don't want Reform, I don't want Labour.
English
@PeterCosten This is not about owing people any favours. It's about stopping Burnham. If you think stupid squabbles with fellow ideological conservatives is more important, don't complain when we always lose.
English
@TorstenBell Didn't you once call Ed Davey a 'fat bloke in a wetsuit'?
Come on, don't go all soft on us now.

I had imagined some kind of SAS style set-up with long lenses from a blacked-out van half a mile away, not some lad with a phone camera half-standing behind a tree at the edge of the training pitch.

A photograph has emerged of the Southampton analyst allegedly observing Middlesbrough’s training session last Thursday, just 48 hours before the two clubs met in the Championship play-off semi-final first leg. The photograph, originally published in the Daily Mail but which The Athletic has also obtained, shows a young man standing, half-covered by a tree at Middlesbrough’s Rockliffe Park training ground holding up his mobile phone. He has been named as William Salt, a member of Tonda Eckert’s backroom analysis team. Full story from @mwalker2771 and @Dan_Sheldon_ ⬇️ 🔗 nyti.ms/48ZudJ3

Actually, thinking about it, Starmer should hang on for a bit longer yet. There might be some positives to wring out of this

🚨 BREAKING: Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips has resigned from Keir Starmer's Government

Having a terrible season in the footie? Just add last year's points to your total. There! Not so bad now.
Tris Osborne MP@TrisOsborneMP
Labour remains the largest force in English local government, controlling roughly one-third of all councils.

@WarMonitor3 Fridays, 17:00 to 21:00. Work finished, beers cold.

This just looks like 5 parties all within a margin of error. Fun for council elections, but no guarantee of any party being given a definite mandate in GE2029.
Long way to go yet.
