The unsung hero of Biffy, @Vennart!

Fantastic show tonight @BiffyClyro! Definitely worth the trip down from Scotland. Shame @ScarboroughOAT wouldn't let you have the fireworks for Stingin' Belle

@ABU_N3RVEGAS I have a theory that Starmer resigns and Burnham becomes PM by mid July, England win the World Cup, Burnham gets the kudos and Labour ride the popularity wave to permanently stay in government

@M_daizen_1020 Thank you Daizen I have had a lovely evening celebrating #56, hail hail

All this waiting and the sound breaks for the declaration?!

A podium! About bloody time

@Mhairi_53 It’s a jam tbf. Or was the first few dozen times at least…

Nigel will be popping the champagne. Best possible result for Reform in a constituency they were never realistically gonna win themselves. Obliteration for their only genuine challenger and a nice little scandal to boot

The reality is the Greens can't win nationally - if Corbyn couldn't in 2017 or 2019, Polanski has no shot in 2029. But what the Greens very much can do, and what I'm increasingly convinced they will do, is split the broad left vote sufficiently to deliver Farage to Downing Street

@nocontextmemes The bottom post, which was intended, I assume, as an example of a sentence with 5 commas, is, and always will be, two sentences but could, had the author thought more carefully, have better fulfilled its task through the expeditious use of the Oxford comma.

I don't likeandelson and I do think Starmer should resign but I'm not sure why the Times are splashing 'employee given pay in lieu of notice per the law' as their top headline

“Because Anas Sarwar asked us to.” 👏

@clthreeoneeight @ScotRail Yep see that now, thank you!

[Ben McKinlay @_BenMcKinlay]

@ScotRail what is the situation with the Glasgow to Shieldmuir trains? It looks like the delay is just ticking up… is this line still running?

[Ben McKinlay @_BenMcKinlay]

@ScotRail I mean it doesn’t, but whatever you’re just the customer service guy so not your fault, cheers for the prompt response

[Ben McKinlay @_BenMcKinlay]

@ScotRail is there no longer a 9:11am train from Shieldmuir to Glasgow Central? It is no longer appearing on my app

[Ben McKinlay @_BenMcKinlay]

@ScotRail Seems a bit ridiculous to remove one stop giving the train is still running and goes to all other stops

I've watched Labour lose a lot of elections in my time as a party member. Damn does it feel good to finally win🌹

Change starts now
