@robfordmancs Shocked shocked that there is gambling in this establishment

[Joe Mulhall @JoeMulhall_]

Very strong and brave words from @carolvorders in response to a @hopenothate article exposing the vile misogyny of Reform UKs candidate in the Makerfield by-election. https://t.co/I0e42Jddzz

@JadeFrancesAzim What a time to be online

[Matthew McGregor @mcgregormt]

Honestly just call a general election on this issue, and this issue alone. We need to get this sorted.

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham says he would ban VAR if he had the power

"You can't celebrate a goal because you think someone, somewhere in an industrial unit is going to rule it out"

[Matthew McGregor @mcgregormt]

@marcusaroberts Inconceivable!!!!!

[Matthew McGregor @mcgregormt]

This isn’t a partisan point, I’d vote for almost any politician who could get this done.

[Matthew McGregor @mcgregormt]

In fairness this is consistent with their position that pro-Palestine marches should be banned but being perfectly happy for the Tommy Robinson demo to go ahead.

[James Heale @JAHeale]

New: Tories disown the Worcestershire group who did a deal with the Greens to overthrow Reform

Spox: “The Conservative Group Leader did not make our opposition clear to his fellow Worcestershire councillors and has been suspended pending investigation.”

[Matthew McGregor @mcgregormt]

It is SO weird how this keeps happening to Reform. What a run of bad luck.

[Ralph Blackburn @RalphBlackburn]

Breaking: Reform has suspended new Sheffield councillor Nathaniel Menday, after further social media posts were uncovered by my colleague @finnsmithjourno for the @SheffieldStar which included a huge photo of a Nazi flag with a swastika on it and a photo of Hitler's Mein Kamf.

Some really good Journalists Shouting Questions footage here, but nothing will ever beat "Governor Romney, what about your gaffes?!"

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

NEW: Wes Streeting leaves Downing Street after just *16 minutes* with PM.

[Matthew McGregor @mcgregormt]

@ShippersUnbound I mentioned to someone on my team about a candidate having installed the phone lines and they were completely bewildered by (a) the political reference and (b) the installation of 'phone lines'. It was chastening.

[Matthew McGregor @mcgregormt]

Another sign of Green Party professionalisation getting this out the door tonight, fair play.

[Sam Merriman @sammerriman_]

NEW: Green Party leader Zack Polanski has tonight admitted that he failed to pay the correct council tax while living on a houseboat in east London

[Matthew McGregor @mcgregormt]

@ShippersUnbound It would be a walkover and no one with the ability to actually do it thinks a rejoin ref is a good idea. At the same time does anyone think brexit has gone well? And here we are, sat between a large stone and some dense mass.

[Matthew McGregor @mcgregormt]

A serious political party would have expelled these people by now. Reform are either not a serious party or they’re not serious about countering antisemitism, Islamophobia and other forms of extremism. https://t.co/UrBzmBIQtK

[Matthew McGregor @mcgregormt]

Louder for the people at the back

[Robert Ford @robfordmancs]

I fear Labour people risk falling into an ecological fallacy visible from space when reacting to these results.

Here is what is very clear in the results: Labour are losing more *seats* to Reform, but... Labour are losing *votes* to the Greens

[Alex Wickham @alexwickham]

Looks like Labour will end up with just north of 1,400 losses. That is a damning verdict from voters. But by the experts’ metrics it falls somewhere around the ‘bad’ and ‘disappointing’ zone rather than ‘terrible.’ Makes it harder to get rid of Starmer immediately.

[Matthew McGregor @mcgregormt]

There has been a deluge of some of the most disgusting people elected to office.

[Jewish News @JewishNewsUK]

Reform UK face questions after ‘Holocaust is a hoax’ candidate elected
https://t.co/4xynYcN0iF

[Matthew McGregor @mcgregormt]

This is so sickening. This is an insult not just to local people but communities across the country.

[SikhPressAssociation @SikhPA]

The @reformparty_uk candidate found to have called the racially aggravated rape of a Sikh woman "good" is now an ELECTED councillor in Essex.

Even after @hopenothate exposed Stuart Prior as a white supremacist, he won a Rochford District seat in yesterday's local elections.

[Matthew McGregor @mcgregormt]

The “Labour isn’t losing quite as badly as expected” line that is brewing has strong “tis but a scratch!” vibes about it.
