With the Greens now having the same number of seats as Reform, the UK media should provide them the same platform and level of coverage as Farage’s ilk. Will it happen though? #GE24

The spacetime continuum has just gifted me this documentary newsreel from 2034 which asks

THE TORIES - WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

As Reform overtake the Conservatives in the polls, here's Colin from Portsmouth on Nigel Farage

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

And there you have it - the Reform/Conservative cross-over.

What a depressing day for a once proud party.

Brexit’s a bad drug kids.

The Tory party have received unfair criticism this last few weeks. In the interests of balance,I’ve posted some charts below which show performance in various key areas such as life expectancy, the NHS, trade, immigration and the economy

I think it’s good idea to teach young people how to be an effective army so they can finally overthrow this system that is constantly fucking them from all sides

[Secret Headteacher @secretHT1]

Maybe, instead of National Service for 18 year olds they should introduce national service for MPs.

They all have to do several weeks volunteering in a school, GP, hospital, care home, social care and police within their first 12 months in office.

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

The 4th July - a date forever associated with vanquishing an unpopular, out of touch leadership who charged taxes without providing services. I'm not sure Sunak has thought this through...

I think the rats are finally ready to leave the sinking ship.

In added on time, Sunderland almost just equalised from a corner that wasn't a corner.
So exciting and liberating to see anarchic stuff like that, free from sterile VAR choking spontaneity like Nurse Ratched.
Unfair? It's a boiling live football match not a court affidavit.

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

Watching Europe burn while Britain debates Nigel Farage's bank account is a truly dispiriting experience. It's so parochial and childlike, like someone having a daydream during a car crash.

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

For people who don't follow cricket, what's happened is as if millions of people eagerly wait to see which of two scientists wins the Nobel Prize. One invents a way of flying without fuel, and the other stays in bed, off his head on ketamine. But it rains so it's a draw.

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

The problem is that their reporters, editors and owner find it hard to accept that most of us are flawed, and can’t live up to the high moral values, devotion to the absolute truth and extreme chastity represented by The Sun.

[Alf Dubs @AlfDubs]

Something has shifted in the public mood regarding refugees. I've been tweeting about refugees for many years but never before received such an upswell of sympathy, and near universal condemnation of the government's callous approach. Thank U to everyone for your positive tweets!

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

On Robert Jenrick. If there's any justice in the world he'd hang his head in shame.
