I make stuff @SkyNews - and especially for @SkyPoliticsHub - formerly @bbcnewsnight. Views my own.

It’s my privilege to work with @SophyRidgeSky on Politics Hub - so I’m biased. But this could not be more deserved or have gone to a nicer person.

If the Treasury isn’t already considering some of this, they really should be…

It is the year 3000. Council tax applies on all colonised planets based on valuations from 1991. Or we could reform property tax.

1. PERSONAL NEWS:
Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵

[Marc Williams @Morkins]

It’s like 2001 all over again

Tory leader Arthur Balfour gives his snap analysis to his defeat in the Liberal Landslide (just “bettered” by Sunak)

Really, really useful graphic for anyone who teaches British politics and/or political history at sixth form or university, c/o @spectator

This from the @LordAshcroft post-election is probably the most important big picture analysis. Most Tory defectors will consider going back to the party - but many for not another 10 years. So decade in the wilderness but a remarkably short half-life for the Tory toxicity.

A truly historic day - the beginning of the Keir Starmer era - the end of 14 years of Conservative government.

A privilege to have a front row seat. Now the final push with a three hour #PoliticsHub special

[Matt Singh @MattSingh_]

Update: The Conservatives lost every seat in the Corn Wall

[Marc Williams @Morkins]

I’m now - sadly - old enough to remember Labour being finished forever, then the Tories being finished forever, then Labour being briefly finished forever before doing alright and then definitely being finished forever. So maybe, just maybe, the Tories aren’t finished forever.
