When two of your friends from different groups meet each other

[Noa Hoffman @hoffman_noa]

Am told by an ally of Wes Streeting he "100%" has the numbers for a challenge. Also hearing Ed Miliband confident he has them too

[Kitty Donaldson @kitty_donaldson]

NEW: Streeting’s outriders now calling MPs to ask for support. If it wasn’t on this morning, it certainly is now.

@harrrmy What if you work from home to do jigsaw puzzles in your lunch break?

“What they absolutely cannot do is steal the mandate that Keir Starmer won and convert that into a radically different programme for government.”

Any new Labour leader who tries to shift the party to the left should “absolutely” call a general election, says Lord Hutton.

@sundersays Congrats Sunder, a lot to do!

[Alex Bigham @alexbigham]

Felt like a speech to get him through the next day or two with restless MPs not to restore Labour's credibility.

@MattWatts96 Imagine breaking out a meme that even Keir Starmer did weeks ago

[The Spectator @spectator]

Green candidate in this week’s council elections says the White House should be blown up, described Hamas taking ‘filthy hostages,’ and denies that anyone was raped by the terror group on 7 October.

Feda Shahin, a Green candidate in Bournemouth, was first exposed – for different extremist statements – by The Spectator on 21 April.

We disclosed she had said that ‘the Zionists killed 20 million Christians’ and that ‘Zionists are trying to control the world.’ She is ‘secretary general’ of a local pro-Palestine group, the Palestine Solidarity Movement, which earned national notoriety after it staged a night-time picket of an MP’s private home.

Now there are some more to report. In a thread from mid-March, discussion turns to the Iran war. ‘I hope Iran can destroy Israel and leave no-one there,’ writes another member of the group. Shahin replies: ‘Iran should hit the Whitehouse. It is the headquarters for evil.’

“Apprehending violent and dangerous criminals is a full contact and messy task which may appear shocking to observers with little experience of policing in the real world.”

Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley writes to Zack Polanski.

Addiction to short-form videos is associated with reduction of brain activity in the frontal lobe and weakened focus.

Children hit by an SUV, while walking or cycling, are 77% more likely to be killed than if hit by a smaller car - rising to over 200% for children under nine.

That’s why I’ve asked TfL to research the growing impact of supersized SUVs in our city.

What an absolute disgrace. An apologist for a mass murderer. Sickening stuff from the Green Party leader. Think about this before you vote in May…

[Shahrar Ali @ShahrarAli]

Piss poor take from Polanski in London Assembly chamber. In a debate on Iran, he supports a comparison made between killing Khamenei and making a matyr of the Pope. Another speaks with horror at this comparison.

@EJ_McGuinness @RobertJenrick @TheGreenParty thanks for making me panic and thinking it was now April

[Alex Bigham @alexbigham]

@forwardnotback you are in my thoughts and prayers, sending all my love from your old Labour friend Alex. Take care, comrade
