@liamballsy @FUDdaily Yet to see him say he would like to twat a journalist with a bat, or whatever it was Streeting tweeted.

@FUDdaily Because anyone with life experience has skeletons they know will be dragged into public discourse. Who in their right mind would sign up for that?

It rather looks like Reform's Makerfield candidate is a twat. His comments were not very sensible. That, though, is for voters to mull for themselves. Still, though, it tells us that Reform still isn't a serious organisation, hasn't got a grip on vetting, and if there's a large influx of Reform MPs, most of them will be imbeciles - which will contribute to Reform's early collapse. The party is seriously struggling for presentable candidates. For once, though, I don't entirely blame Reform. There is a general drought of serious people across the spectrum. Accomplished and thoughtful people are giving politics a hard swerve. Why is that?

And? He's correct.

@LeoKearse @lowles_nick Make it at least vaguely realistic mate

@lowles_nick I'm hearing from sources inside Hope Not Hate that some employees aren't paedophiles. Can you confirm? Huge if true.

After Matt Goodwin’s absolute car crash of a candidature in Gorton & Denton, Reform went safe and picked a local plumber who they thought would go down well against Andy Burnham. Vile and highly offensive social media posts means Reform is now shielding the candidate from the media. I’m hearing from sources within Reform that they were surprised by the Survation poll that put them only three points behind Labour. Not only does their own canvassing put them further behind, but it also puts Restore on higher than 7%.

@ABirchley @Telegraph Yes. We asked for help in preparing but were ignored, so sorted it ourselves. My daughter is the only one from the school who is going but the teachers, including the Head, haven't really acknowledged it in any way. They're probably mildly embarrassed rather than proud.

@_TheGMan @Telegraph Its a ridiculous system where test subjects aren't taught in school and schools don't offer lunch or after school sessions to help. System is wrong because they don't like the principle of Grammar schools.

Grammar schools are moving their entrance exams from September to July to prevent pupils having to spend their summer holidays studying Schools believe the change will improve equality for all entrants. Children from more affluent families often get tutors over the summer months to prepare for the test, and this can leave less-wealthy families at a disadvantage. 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/05/2…

@NewsCuckoo @Telegraph Yes. Luckily ny daughter still passed, but we put a bit of prep in over the summer for it.

@_TheGMan @Telegraph Yes, but this is bizarrely because the exam is based on Year 6 topics, but taken at the start of Year 6 before these have been covered.

@DavidDennis9 @Telegraph It's amazing what closing hundreds of grammar schools and making it illegal to open new ones will do, isn't it? 38% attended at their peak.

@_TheGMan @Telegraph Only 5% of children attend grammar school schools !

First official heatwave sighting using temperature measured up the backsides of multiple jet aircraft.

@DavidDennis9 @SimonMagus 😂

@SimonMagus @_TheGMan Raising taxes on the wealthy would do it !

There is no way to reduce the British state's fiscal problems and get inflation under control that doesn't involve around £100 billion in spending cuts. Any pundit or politician telling you otherwise is lying to you.

@woza_diego @TriGremlin @HappyPunch Why?

@_TheGMan @TriGremlin @HappyPunch Absolutely,if they only win by unanimous decision then that's reckless.

Sumo wrestler destroyed a 5-0 pro boxer in an MMA fight last night 😳

@woza_diego @HappyPunch You said a boxer wins in a boxing match. Agreed. 99 out of 100. Know that boxing is not MMA. The world table tennis #1 also beats Djokovic 99 out of 100 at his own game.

@_TheGMan @HappyPunch Do you really believe what you're saying.....sumo wrestlers can't even throw a 1-2 combination punching 🥊

@woza_diego @TriGremlin @HappyPunch Maybe. Does that refute what I said?

@_TheGMan @TriGremlin @HappyPunch If that boxer was either Tyson Fury or Daniel Dubois,that wrestler would've been chin checked 🥊🥊

@JCUK1981 @paulcottam He's sat inside, scared.

@paulcottam So I take it you don’t sit in beer gardens, enjoy a bbq, go on holiday then? You can’t worry about the weather but then actually enjoy it!

This is not normal.

@FishGang4Life7 @AltMarket1 @HappyPunch Of course. High level boxers won't do MMA.

@AltMarket1 @HappyPunch He was big time out weighed too and looked like a very low level boxer. Give an elite boxer some a year or two of proper take down defense training & a decent JJ base and they would run through the UFC Sean Strickland just won a championship with only a decent jab + TD defense

@woza_diego @TriGremlin @HappyPunch Because sumo wrestlers neither knock people out, nor know submission holds?

@TriGremlin @HappyPunch Then why didn't he get a knockout finish or a submission win?

@woza_diego @HappyPunch Real fighting is not boxing. Boxing is a specific skillset for a particular sport. Sumo wrestlers will move you around, fast.

@HappyPunch In a proper boxing match,that sumo wrestler would've probably been a walking punching bag.....

@TimpanoNathan @ourtone69 @garygilligan Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the concept of apprenticeship.

@ourtone69 @garygilligan So let’s just work for nothing then

Reform put out a clip where the Makerfield candidate tells a man who received a £5m "donation" that paying an apprentice £8 an hour is too much. Reform are not your friends...
