@Nigel_Farage Burnham was a racing certainty. Tories played had a good political campaign in Aberdeen South on the oil platform. Arbroath a sound hold for SNP. Reform will be very disappointed as this shows the voters not prepared to support them in. most of the critical elections.

@EFL_Comms Tigers v Boro & not Tigers v Cheetahs is how it should be. Do feel for fans.

@HKane A good analysis from Harry on that semi. Arsenal can beat anyone in Europe on their day. PSG will be a tough match, but a 2-1 win for the Gunners looks a good bet.

[george dunning @cuncillor]

@ArsenalBuzzCom Credit to all 3. Thomas knows the strengths of both Arsenal players. Hence if he thinks they are on the edge why risk them on a dead rubber friendly.

Another bad decision from PM on appointing PM as US Ambassador.

@darrengrimes Have to agree. A show on Labour's first year spent a lot of time on Reforms' months in office at Durham Council.

[george dunning @cuncillor]

@BBCRichardMoss @LewisAtkinson @darrengrimes Well the first year of a Labour government turned to the first months of Reform in Durham, as Lib Dem & Labour turned on Cllr Darren Grimes, including Moss. Lost the focus this week.

@BBCRichardMoss @MCSavours @JemmaDem @DrAntonyMullen Some technical issues with this broadcast. Sadly Bradford people are paying 10% council tax increase compared to our 5%.

[george dunning @cuncillor]

@BBCRichardMoss Another piece of Labour hypocrisy as Starmer elevates 30 Labour supporters into the House of Lords after he said he wants to do away with this system of patronage. Reported on BBC it was done because Tories have stuffed the Lords with their cronies.

[george dunning @cuncillor]

@BBCRichardMoss Not a very balanced Politics North on the Assisted Dying topic, all 3 in favour. Another BBC error on this important issue?

I predict a riot, maybe not. Especially if England win world cup in '26.

Politics North BBC1 this Sunday: Will higher government targets solve the housing crisis, or lead to "concrete jungle"? Can councils afford to maintain parks? What is Labour recipe for boosting growth? With guests @luke_myer, @dfrancisgreen and Northumberland ldr Glen Sanderson

[george dunning @cuncillor]

@BBCRichardMoss @luke_myer @dfrancisgreen Unbelievable on Fridays' Look North the % increases in housing targets. Why is Redcar & Clevelands,' housing target (the highest in the country) is + 1,327%?

Governance under fire at devolved body chaired by Lord Ben Houchen https://t.co/vHQfsT126X via @ft

@SkyNews @BenHouchen Very good interview answers from Ben Houchen our Tees Mayor on Sky & Politics North. One of the better Tory politicians, that's why the majority of Tees Valley voters reelected him against the anti Tory tide.

[george dunning @cuncillor]

@BBCSounds Makes one wonder how far the BBC will go with giving so much mileage to this type of story. Phones 4U founder virtual took over the first half of Newsnight, as he arrogantly took centre stage, trying to justify his political switch.

[george dunning @cuncillor]

@SkyFootball Very brave to drop Grealish, although Pep does it on a regular basis. Hope Gareth has called this one correctly.

[george dunning @cuncillor]

@politicshome Ben Houchen wins a third term as the Tees Valley Mayor. Maybe his most significant win of the three considering the opposition onslaught.
