I thought I'd never have a photo of my son's involvement in today's breath-taking ceremony. So thank you, @vghirda and @Telegraph

Stream all 3 eps of ‘Confessions of a Serial Killer: Levi Bellfield’ on @primevideouk. Add the unbelievable true crime story to your watchlist now. @colinsutton

I went out in the van with Cllr Rob Kenyon. This is his story.

@reformexposed Not necessarily.

If this was someone turning up to work on their first day in any other job, HR would be wondering if they lied on their CV.

Tomorrow the PCS civil servants’ union is debating a motion to ‘counter a hostile Reform government’ with ‘sustained industrial action’: they are planning to go on strike if we win. This is Reform’s response. Any civil servant who seeks to undermine ministerial authority and the impartiality of the Civil Service through unlawful strike action will no longer have a job to return to. The Civil Service exists to implement the will of the government of the day. Its staff must do what duly-elected ministers ask them to do, within the law - or leave. By publicly confirming the reason for future industrial action as opposition to a specific ‘hostile’ government, the PCS have ensured their strikes cannot be considered a ‘trade dispute’ and would be unprotected and unlawful. Under section 12.1.21 of the CSMC, no appeals to the Civil Service Appeal Board will be possible in this situation. As the Shadow Home Secretary already set out, pension entitlements and any entitlement to redundancy pay may also be lost. Those who do choose to strike because, like the PCS, they disagree with the democratic decision of the British people are not only taking part in unlawful industrial action but are also in breach of the Terms & Conditions of their employment, specifically section 4.1.3 (b) of the Civil Service Management Code (CSMC): “civil servants must not take part in any political or public activity which compromises, or might be seen to compromise, their impartial service to the Government of the day or any future Government”. The fact is under a Reform UK government the Civil Service will be a much better workplace than it is today. Our plans will deliver a smaller and more highly skilled Civil Service where good work is rewarded and officials are able to make a real difference to people’s lives. A union that prioritised its own members would recognise that our agenda will be the most pro-worker in recent political history. We’re happy to work with any fair-minded trade union to develop policies to support workers. But, if the PCS don’t wish to engage reasonably they should know that we will turn their anti-democratic motion into a resounding win for a Reform UK government, the taxpayer, and the British people.

Makerfield was Andy Burnham’s back up plan. For Robert Kenyon, it’s his home. This battle will be David Vs Goliath.

@FionaMc79461755 @BeresfordSenga Have you ever done it?

@colinsutton @BeresfordSenga Brutality ? You'll have her sainted next 🙄

An extremely proud day 🩵 I don’t just fight for my children I fight for yours let’s make this country great again 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🩵

@FionaMc79461755 @BeresfordSenga Having the courage to stand up for what she believes, to stand up for her community, to conduct an election campaign, to put herself through the brutality of an election count. Not everyone has that in them.

@colinsutton @BeresfordSenga For what ?

Vote Tory get Greens.

@GoodwinMJ @Teresa19618773 And in the inevitable vacant Greater Manchester mayoralty too.

Could Reform beat Labour in Makerfield? 💯.

@SophiePrestonHa I'll be there!

Looks like another trip to Manchester looming!!

It might be that some areas in East Anglia are atypical, but in places we are ripe for tactical voting by the right here. In my constituency, 3 divisions went Green because some voters stuck doggedly with the Tories when we all knew they would and could not win. Which let the Greens through the middle. It needs to be borne in mind for the future.

My @ConHome piece on the election results and why the Conservatives need to change strategy and appeal more to swing voters and anti-Reform tactical voters. conservativehome.com/2026/05/11/dav… via @conhome

@LucyTrims bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cp…

This surely cannot be true?!

@chinch69 @LucyTrims I'm doing a few trial nights of a new show which is planned for another nationwide tour in 2027. Political commitments permitting......l

@colinsutton @LucyTrims Hi Colin, just on a different note, anymore talk nights or Manhunter on the cards? Really enjoyed your talk in Loughborough.

@confidencenac No, I think it was an individualist thing. We knew there was a risk of Greens coming through the middle in a few cases but chose not to major on it. Which might have been a mistake. I don't suppose we will make it again.

@colinsutton Not in my ward. It was vote green and get reform. They should’ve voted for the incumbent if they were doing a good job. That’s the way. But the Green lie - vote Green to stop Reform was a big failure especially in Ipswich!

This is why we must never go in coalition with Reform. Horrible smug only lasts so long and you’re only as good as your last election. Never did I see a Conservative do this in 2021 when we had so much success.

@confidencenac Interestingly so was the similar Conservative lie in Hoxne & Eye.

@colinsutton @EssexPR How many goals have Arsenal scored when clearly fouling the keeper? Because I can’t remember any.

I’m Spurs, but that’s outrageous
