Year 12 Politics trip to Houses of Parliament and Supreme Court. Very impressed with our students engagement, enthusiasm and efforts today. They were very excited to have spotted @RishiSunak in the House of Commons this morning.

That's a wrap on our wonderful panto Alice In Wonderland!

Well done to everyone involved - we are so proud of all your hard work and dedication.

Until the next Panto!!

Trump says there’s no empty seats and the cameraman goes rogue

Live fact checks at trump rallies now

🇺🇸 Which swing states could influence the results on 5 November?

@Lewis_Goodall, Sky's US election data analyst and co-host of The News Agents podcast, explains what could happen.

Hard to imagine Trump, Biden, Vance and Harris having a good laugh after the election like Sunak, Starmer, Dowden and Rayner are.

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

NEW: King’s Speech confirms House of Lords reform with abolition of remaining hereditary peers.

No mention of votes at 16 though.

[Calgie @christiancalgie]

Vaughan Gething managed 2.4 Liz Trusses

In contrast to Humza Yousaf who managed a relatively impressive 8.1 Liz Trusses.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

To be sworn in as an MP, you have to make an oath to the King.

This is what I decided to say, in protest.

[Jessica Elgot @jessicaelgot]

Missed this before but a lovely and brutally honest piece from @JonesyFay on what it feels like in the hours after losing a seat

Do you think last week's general election results will improve your daily life?

[Adam Vaughan @adamvaughan_uk]

Wow, that was quick.

The effective ban on onshore wind farms in England has been lifted, just a few days after Labour took power.

Planning barriers cut, so "onshore wind applications will be treated in the same way as other energy development proposals"

Meanwhile having not become AG Emily Thornberry confirms she’s not entering government and will return to the backbenches.

[Politics@Queens' @QueensSch_Pol]

Very much recommend https://t.co/oR9Xt61nxk

[Henry Zeffman @hzeffman]

NEW: James Timpson (of Timpson fame) is given a peerage and will be prisons minister

[Politics@Queens' @QueensSch_Pol]

Liz Truss gone.

[Politics@Queens' @QueensSch_Pol]

A Labour government elected on less than 40% of the vote with a turnout potentially below 60% - democratic deficit?

[Politics@Queens' @QueensSch_Pol]

Definitely worth reading up on the 'primary' system used in Totnes.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

A big vindication for @SDevonPrimary, which helped deliver the massive swing to the excellent LibDem Caroline Voaden. Our former MP @AnthonyMangnal1 is now Anthony Mangled. It's the first time the Tories have lost this seat in 100 years. This new form of organising works.

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

NEW: Jeremy Hunt survives by only 900 votes.

He did well to hang on. Clearly some personal vote.

Rees Mogg out!
