The chancellor quote tweeting @PoliticsForAlI 😂

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

"We're pleased to see this big step in supporting live music to return with confidence.

The Government’s Live Events Reinsurance Scheme is a welcome support for festivals, concerts & gigs – and for artists and fans to reconnect."

It took 11.5 years for Elizabeth II to reach her 4th PM. Her heir Charles III will reach the same point in 3 years and 9 months.

[Gordon Brown @GordonBrown]

Keir Starmer’s place in history is assured. We owe Keir a debt of gratitude for taking Labour from its worst electoral defeat in 2019, bringing Labour back into government with a huge majority in 2024 and then guiding Britain through difficult times nationally and globally.

[Tom Peck @tompeck]

Little bit of history made as Harry Kane, John Stones and Jordan Henderson look set to become the first England internationals to go through a change of prime minister during a major international tournament for a record breaking third time.

[Michael Crick @MichaelLCrick]

It will be a bit crowded at the Cenotaph in November, with a record line of 10 PMs: Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak, Starmer and Burnham/AN Other.

Your new Prime Minister

[Thomas @thomashammond__]

If we had even an ounce of sense we’d explore this via the Tonali deal.

[No Context County Cricket @NoContextCounty]

“It looks like” how do you not know? YOURE THE COACH

[Lawrence Booth @BoothCricket]

England’s weak tail was known in advance, but this morning: Archer 0, Fisher 0, Tongue 0, Baker 0*

[Jakub Krupa @JakubKrupa]

How it started How it's going

[Ian Jones @IanJones_16]

Joe Root would have 16,000 test runs if he didn’t have to keep coming in at 13-2 and dealing with some of the most braindead players ever to play for England.

[CharlieCooke_ @CookeeCharlie]

Should have played this week, should have played at Lords over Bashir don't understand why they keep just ignoring him

[Tom Evans @TomEvansCricket]

Hope Aggers asks him about that time he had a fight with Nigel Farage on the set of Question Time

[Josh Chavis @JoshChavis65]

I can’t speak for the entire country, but I can speak for my own backyard.

My baseball-obsessed 7 year old hasn’t ever so much as touched a soccer ball in his life and now he’s spending his evenings out here pretending he’s Flo Balogun.

I don’t think it’s possible to overstate the impact this World Cup will have on this sport’s popularity in America.

[Andrew Lawrence @andrewlawrence]

By far the shittest production of 'The Wizard of Oz' ever attempted.

[Gary @Gary_Poynton]

Nothing says patriotism like replacing our greatest ever captain with a yank paedophile

[Ben Smoke @bencsmoke]

louise haigh sensibled up her hair…. someone’s angling for a great office of state…

[Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV]

Aside from the specific circumstances of Makerfield and Andy Burnham’s personal profile, a pattern is emerging in recent by-elections…

Caerphilly, Gorton and Denton, Makerfield… the tactical vote to keep Reform ‘out’ is being mobilised with significant impact. Tactical voting is cemented as a defining feature of our politics.

[Sophy Ridge @SophyRidgeSky]

Makerfield result also shows how voters are prepared to vote tactically to stop Reform

The Greens got 308 votes! Then Lib Dems 163!

This is partly Burnham factor of course but that’s a big fall on 2024

[Jessica Elgot @jessicaelgot]

It now seems beyond any doubt that Burnham will be prime minister. Labour MPs will look at that result - the consolidation of the progressive vote, the swathes of ex-Reform voters returning to Labour - and they won’t be able to wait long.
