David nails it here - it’s not just the shift from Conservative to Labour that these papers are bewailing… it is their own loss of power, loss of reputation, and loss of stranglehold the print press held on politics.

They have become overtly ridiculous at their empire’s end.

So Rishi Sunak claims not to know about this in order to dodge questions, as did Jeremy Hunt. Just copying them in here (as well as having emailed and posted it to the PM) @RishiSunak @Jeremy_Hunt please share so they cannot pretend to claim they don't know.

Yes Minister on bringing back national service

[nazir afzal @nazirafzal]

Tories want to bring in national service for 18yr olds
1️⃣ 12 months full time in armed forces or
2️⃣1 weekend a month voluntary work
What they mean is poorer kids go into military & richer kids can help out locally
As if young people didn’t have enough reasons to vote this lot out

[Jay Rayner @jayrayner1]

The timing of the election might cause problems for some, esp students coming to the end of term or those who have holidays booked (whoever they intend to vote for). The solution is to apply for a postal vote. Here’s the link to do so. Please share.

His name was Connor Sparrowhawk, he loved London Buses, mermaids and his family, and he had good ideas about his future… I really would have loved to have met you, Connor. But I also guess I did, in some weird and magical way - in the darkness. Strange… Wonderful… Cool.

Brexit was when logic lost the argument and ours became an irrational country.

Joined the @SFBikeBus today: kids and parents biking to school together, safely.
