Cllr Rhys Benjamin 🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧

🌳 WE DID IT!! Not one, not two, but THREE new Conservative councillors in Greenhill!

@KB6767 @paulbristow79 @SteveBakerFRSA Oh but she definitely tried. Winter Fuel Allowance, Family Farm Tax, Welfare Bill, Two-Child cap… all U-turned because the backbenchers realised the tail could wag the dog.

@paulbristow79 This has aged like a fine wine. @SteveBakerFRSA has been absolutely vindicated in 22 months. The only thing he got wrong was that instead of austerity Reeves has chosen to set us on the road to bankruptcy instead.

He wasn’t wrong was he? An absolute circus 🤡

Russian State TV fantasises about nuking us and turning Britain into a radioactive wasteland, so yes, I do in fact believe Russia is an ''enemy'' of Britain

@EurovisionTom Imagine the second place gets 0 or 1, or something like that. Or indeed if it does overtake and win by a landslide (eg last year) we won’t know the actual number because they’ll probably cut to the celebration whilst it’s still moving (a major problem with 2017 and 2018).

There's a new final splitscreen system. There's a vertical bar in the middle with the current leaders heart at the top. The last country awaiting their televote's score wont be announced, instead their heart moves up the bar towards the winner & you dont know when it will stop

@superTV247 It should have been two from Zoe Ball, Hannah Waddingham, and Graham Norton.

This is awful if true btw. Where’s the #Strictly glitz and glam in Josh Widdicombe (no offence)? Didn’t they seem keen to continue the female duo thing? We don’t need THREE hosts either way. I’m sorry but there’s just no way he would be preferred by fans over Rylan, Zoe, Angela…

Official ROTW recap Grand Final #Eurovision

Twitter has convinced itself that bond market traders are all crazed Randians who hate the state. Not so. The Swedish and the Danish government can borrow at sensationally cheap rates. Bond markets like sound public finances. They don't care about big state vs small state.

@Stanial9 @benjonescricket @CricViz His technique has changed substantially since he last played for England (5 years ago).

@RhysBenjamin @benjonescricket @CricViz In the season prior to England selection he scored 1428 runs at 68. Then he faced the best in the world and performed worse than all time bad opener Zak Crawley, And now he is averaging 60+ again but is still slow and will still score no runs at the higher level.

In the last two years, Dom Sibley has the best batting record in CC. By more metrics than anyone, he's top of the tree. Yet nobody talks about him. Had a look on the @CricViz Substack about why that is, about selection, and the old battle: data v eyes. cricvizanalyst.substack.com/p/dom-sibley-a…

Why is the BBC acting like a toxic, passive aggressive ex?

This is an astonishingly misleading attack on the Conservative Party: 1) Kemi killed the idea of any deal with the Greens in Worcestershire stone dead within hours; 2) Where are Martin and his colleagues in demanding why Reform aren’t standing down in the coming Aberdeen South by-election, where the Conservatives are the main challengers? 3) Reform are hellbent on destroying the Conservative Party. What possible basis is there for a deal?

@JeMappellePercy Better than mine.

I do an incredibly bad running order guess every year, and only ever get 2 or 3 right. Anyway here’s this year’s, aka NOT the running order. #Eurovision

@Stanial9 @benjonescricket @CricViz That was a long time ago. He is vastly improved since then.

@benjonescricket @CricViz Has everyone developed amnesia and forgotten he averaged 29 from 22 tests when he actually faced the best bowlers in the world?

@PaddyTruth @bbcpress You do know who won in 1998 when Terry Wogan hosted, don’t you?

@bbcpress Basically pissing all over Terry Wogans grave with this woke nonsense

✨ Hello Europe, La Voix calling... and serving up the scores as the UK's #Eurovision 2026 Jury spokesperson for the Grand Final on Saturday More ➡️ bbc.in/42DwPZr

La Voix is to be the UK's Jury Spokesperson at Eurovision this year, the BBC announces.

So pleased for @PhilTory and all the work he put in. He’s such a great character and Westminster will be all the better for having him. And he’s one of our own. 😉🏳️‍🌈 @LGBTCons

Look, I’m sorry for saying it again, but this guy genuinely needs to be studied. He was one of the key forces behind turning Conservative Party back into a winning machine in Westminster. One thing I’ve learnt: if you want to flip an area from one colour to another, you don’t wait for the election — you go hard from day one, build early momentum, and never let up. 💪🇬🇧

This is what the opening act in semi 2 was for 10 years ago. Performed by the hosts, with no playback (yes, they remembered all the languages) #Eurovision
