An impressive result for @reformparty_uk today. We more than doubled our vote and beat Labour in their own backyard. Huge credit to @GoodwinMJ and the thousands of volunteers. The wider campaign, however, should be a wake up call. South Asian men instructing women how to vote at polling stations in modern Britain. The winning party campaigning under a foreign flag and in foreign languages to exploit a foreign conflict. Depresssingly I can only see this appalling level of sectarianism spreading because most of our political class are in denial. Britain is broken. But it can be set on a better course. That’s why everyone who shares these concerns needs to get behind Reform and ensure the fight back can begin.

Nick Robinson on BBC fairly said many will dismiss the Gorton & Denton result by pointing to a “large Muslim vote still motivated and angry about what happened in Gaza”. Many are wrong. It is not just Muslims that are motivated by the treatment of Palestinians, and these voters are not just angry about what happened in Gaza, but about what is happening in Gaza. Maybe this vote is not as big as the stop the boats lot, but Gaza is still a large part of what is driving the alienation from Labour. Little sign in the foreign office or No 10 of any recognition of this.

We know you mean well Mick but you might as well be holding this up.

@markjhooper Populism has never meant anything! Made up term

Last ditch attempt to humanise the PM - 'can't sleep'/disappointed'/'dark place' - not cutting through. 🧐🧐🧐 Gods help us, will they make him talk awkwardly about his children again?

China has been buying 90% of Iran’s illicit oil for years.

@SamiRamadani1 Do you honestly that opposition to a theocracy slaughtering protesters whilst severing connections to the outside world represents "lofty standards"? Seriously?

Striking phrase from Oxford historian Timothy Garton-Ash on tonight’s @BBCRadio4 “Westminster Hour”: “Our continent of Europe is under attack militarily from Russia, economically from China & politically from the United States”.
