I’ve put together a defence of Blackpool in answer to Cabinet Office minister Heather Wheeler describing the town as ‘godawful’ last week - https://t.co/H4XlPnTC8X

Steve Bray blasting Ode to Joy, ruining nationally historic moments like this for us and posterity, is a complete disgrace. A yob.

Never forgave Zelensky for standing up to him in Kyiv and refusing to sign away Ukraine’s mineral rights. According to our correspondent who saw Bessent, immediately afterwards, he was trembling after meeting Zelensky

Lovely news from St James’ Park - four pelican chicks were born last month, the first time in 360 years

[Tim Shipman @ShippersUnbound]

Kemi Badenoch has conveniently cut the question I asked her, which was directly relating to propping up Reform AFTER an election as an alternative to Labour plus some crazy lefties.
That's when she said there must never be another left wing govt.
Her 'no, no, no...' answer was about pacts BEFORE an election. It did not follow on directly.
Yes, she says Reform has some left-wing policies, but she made totally clear she would work with a party pursuing a 'conservative' agenda, which is clearly what Reform is mostly advocating.
The proof is that she says she is already in a casual arrangement with Rupert Lowe. The lady doth protest too much. It was very clear in the room what I was asking
NO ONE, me or her, was talking about a coalition

Always get up early this day to remember this man. Bing would be married now, be a father, experience the love of his children. The years only elevate his sacrifice.

Too tall to fit in the back of the truck, I cradled him as his life ebbed away that morning. Always consistent, always brave, deeply courageous yet humble and kind. I’ll never forget him, and neither should the Nation. #neverforget

The core part of the Henry Nowak murder (the part we must not forget and must seriously engage with) is that his killer and family instinctively thought to fabricate a racism narrative because they knew it would give them an immediate advantage and invert the roles at the scene. And it worked exactly as calculated.

It has struck a raw nerve because it makes visible in the most repulsive way imaginable what many have long sensed, that accusations of racism have become a powerful, paralysing force in modern Britain eventually leading to a dying boy being sidelined while the system instinctively prioritised accusations of racism.

Slow hand clap for all the brilliant analysis over the last few months. This outcome should have been in the category of ‘the blindingly obvious’…

[Steven Swinford @Steven_Swinford]

It looks increasingly like nobody is going over the top

Andy Burnham is not expected to say anything today or this weekend. Wes Streeting appears to be sticking to what he said before the election - he doesn't think this is the time for a leadership challenge

Cabinet ministers are privately despairing and think next week is huge - the PM's reset speech has to hit home, the King's speech has to show real ambition - but they're not calling for his head at the moment, however unsustainable they think his premiership is

The one variable is Angela Rayner - it's still not clear whether she will go public over the next 72 hours. The council in her seat has been decimated

We've essentially got a party in a sense of stasis - ministers know it's bad, they know that Starmer is going down terribly on the doorstep, but at this point in time they don't have a better alternative

All of which plays in Starmer's favour, in the short term at least

[James Johnson @jamesjohnson252]

This polling shows how tough it is to cut through to the British public, and how few are paying attention especially in the middle of a parliamentary term!

Among the answers given when people were shown Ed Davey was "Bruce Willis".

Multiple people wrote 'Rachel Reeves' for Kemi Badenoch. Someone wrote "idk but she prettyyyy".

Someone thought Zack Polanski was Westminster journalist @JAHeale. Rupert Lowe, the least recognised leader, was mistaken for Ed Balls, Wes Streeting, and - most commonly - Nigel Farage.

[Albie @albieamankona]

The fact that net migration was 944,000 whilst @SuellaBraverman & @pritipatel were Home Secretary and fell to 345,000 when @JamesCleverly was Home Secretary, tells us all we need to know about vibes based vs actions based politicians. Don't fall for the lure of the loudmouth.

This used to be funny when I was a child. Now I’m well into middle age, and it’s still creaking on, with the same panellists: a British institution, in the way that all British institutions are long past their sell-by date
