I voted Leave in 2016 because I thought the EU is not liberal enough and not democratic enough. Now I think I was wrong.

I guess Israel should just randomly launch rockets at Lebanon since all the people objecting to the pager thing didn't object to Hezbollah doing that to Israel.

We just dropped in on Liz Truss’s pro-Trump speaking tour with a remote-controlled lettuce banner. She didn’t find it funny. 🥬

Every single cheque for COVID fraud and waste signed off by Rishi Sunak.

If you are sick of being ripped off. If you want change. Then vote for it on 4 July.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

This time next week, the country has a choice.

Five more years of chaos under the Tories. Or a chance to rebuild with a Labour government.

But change will only happen if you vote for it.

Vote Labour on Thursday 4 July.

Change will only happen if you vote for it next Thursday.

It is very, very important for the country that 14 years of Tories in Number 10 are brought to an end on July 4th. Voting is a hard-won and precious right. Exercise it.

You may dislike the current incarnation of Labour and deplore their Brexit position. You may believe that one Tory MP more or less makes no real difference when we're facing a Labour landslide.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. The huge prize at this election is the Tories coming THIRD.

That would change absolutely everything.

It's the difference between them biding their time until they can regroup, and being finished forever as a political force.

Here's what they would lose by finishing up behind the LibDems:

- 6 questions at PMQs every week

- Automatic media coverage

- 17 Opposition Days when they get to set the agenda and hold votes

- First right to reply to key speeches like the King's Speech and the Budget

- A lot of their Short Money

- The right to form a Shadow Cabinet (other parties can mirror government functions but nobody really cares) as a government in waiting

- Chairs of several Select Committees

- Privy Council membership for senior figures

- Office of the Leader of the Opposition, with additional resources, funding and staff

As you can imagine, without any of that good stuff to fall back on, the path to rebuilding would be a vertical cliff.

That's why it's essential to vote tactically to get the Tories out, no matter what you feel about the current incarnation of Labour. (Personally I'm furious about their views on Brexit and other issues.)

The chance will never come again to wipe them out for good. Literally never. We will never see the perfect storm of factors converge again:

- 14 years of Conservative rule, marked by growing public discontent

- A string of mismanagement issues, from the PPE scandal to Brexit complications

- The rise of Reform UK, splitting the traditional Conservative vote and the perfect protest vote for people who would never vote Labour, LibDem or Green

- A resurgent Liberal Democrat party

- An astonishingly poor Conservative election campaign

And with the LibDems in Opposition, the topic of Brexit will finally get a proper and frequent airing. That will advance the cause of Rejoin more than any other action possibly could.

So hold your nose. Look past your frustration, your distaste, your anger, your apathy. And vote for whichever party can beat the Tories in your constituency.

Eyes on the prize. Always. Eyes on the prize.

I don’t mind paying more tax if spent on public services and elderly people aren’t pissing in bottles or dying in A&E corridors on trolleys like they are under those Tory bastards.

But our taxes have been spent on yachts, cocaine and sex workers by the Tories.

Just look at how the rate of increase in life expectancy has been dropping in this country. And it’s not just since COVID/2020. The decline seemed to start around 2010… weird, that.

[LBC @LBC]

"Their first thought was, 'how can I make a few quid out of this?'"

@mrjamesob is 'disgusted to his core' at the emerging details of the Tories being investigated over the UK election date betting scandal.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

My Labour government will protect our borders and launch a new Border Security Command with tough counter terror powers to smash criminal smuggling gangs.

I’ve taken on criminal gangs before. I can do it again.

[Chris Bryant @RhonddaBryant]

What the Tories would love more than anything is for people who want a change of government to think that the election is in the bag for Labour so there’s no need to vote.
It’s classic voter suppression technique.
Don’t fall for it.
If you want change, vote for it. #VoteLabour

Farage is basically saying NATO - which Britain founded - is the aggressor against Russia - it's an insult to every UK serviceman and woman wearing NATO's arm patch in Estonia, or on a NATO air or maritime mission today 🚮

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

Disgraceful for Farage to use the word ‘expansionist’ to describe EU.
Expansionism is what happens when you invade another country’s sovereign territory, like Russia did in Ukraine
What happened with collapse of USSR was countries queuing up to join EU and NATO because they wanted same freedom, liberties and democratic rights we enjoy

[Annette Dittert  @annettedittert]

When @carolecadwalla published stories about potential links between Brexit and Putin's Russia she was hounded as a mad fantasist.

She was always right.

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

The mask slips.

These are Kremlin talking points. In the European Parliament, Farage always defended Putin.

Every vote for Farage is celebrated in Moscow!
