[Ben 🇬🇧 @BenInRushcliffe]

This morning the NHS released data showing NHS waiting times have been reduced since @UKLabour came to power. And would you believe it, just one media outlet (@DailyMirror) has written about it so far.

Sky, BBC, The Guardian, Channel 4...silent.

First Sam Coates on Sky News and now the BBC banging on about number of foreign trips taken by Keir Starmer. He’s the Prime Minister FFS.

Who better to weigh in on Rachel Reeves’s "spiteful" budget, his views splashed across the Times front page, than vacuum cleaner maker James Dyson?

The Brexit supporter turned tax exile, warns the 20% "Family Death Tax" will kill off family businesses—though he omits mention of his vast estate and Singapore-based HQ.

#ToryLaura strikes again @bbclaurak @BBCPolitics #NoBiasHere 🤣🤣🤣

[David @Zero_4]

The contrast in Kuenssberg wrapping up an interview with Labour’s Darren Jones and an interview with Tory MP Priti Patel…

Still scratching my head trying to figure out how employer National Insurance contributions of 15% in 2023 didn't result in price increases/workers layoffs, but restoring employer National Insurance contributions back to 15% in 2024 will when economic conditions are much improved

These are very interesting FACTS @BethRigby @SkyNews
Are you going to report them?

[Mike Tapp MP @MikeTappTweets]

The Labour government has returned 9,400 people with no right to be in the UK – including 2,590 enforced returns, an increase of 19% on the same period in 2023.

This is a Government that takes illegal immigration seriously, if there is no right to be here, they will be deported.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

This is a dark, dark day for people around the globe. The world’s largest economy and most powerful military will be led by a dangerous, destructive demagogue.

[David Baddiel @Baddiel]

Really wasn’t expecting such a big victory last night for Vladimir Putin.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Left: Kemi Badenoch, "Rachel Reeves's budget did not even mention defence"

Right: Rachel Reeves delivering her budget, "We are conducting a strategic defence review.. We will set a path to spend 2.5% of GDP.. Announcing today an increase to the Ministry of Defence's budget of £2.9 billion next year.. Ensuring the UK exceeds our NATO commitments"

Keir Starmer then mocks Leader of the Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, for not listening to the budget which was just seven days ago, in which it was mentioned

[Holte 🇪🇺 @holte]

If anyone needs a little pick me up

Heres a grovelling Lee Anderson apologising to his peers today, having been investigated by the parliamentary watchdog for bullying & harassment that found he told a security guard:

“f**** off, everyone opens the door to me”

[Brian J. Karem @BrianKarem]

Never underestimate the power of large groups of stupid people.

He was the worst POTUS in history.
Impeached twice.
Convicted felon.
Tried to stage a coup.
Sold state secrets.

But hey …at least he isn’t an intelligent Black woman.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Turns out my biggest mistake might have been believing people were inherently good…

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Emily Maitlis eviscerates Boris Johnson

"You started importing that Trump like behaviour into Britain when you were Prime Minister"

"His disregard for institutions. His disregard for the rule of law"

"His denialism.. Mirrored in your response to the Privileges Committee.. Your response to the Parliamentary Standards Committee.. Your Proroguing of Parliament"

"This is all Trump like behaviour"

Boris Johnson, "I disagree profoundly"

[Haggis_UK 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 @Haggis_UK]

Richard Hughes(OBR): "There was about £9.5b worth of net pressure on department budgets, which they(Tories) did not disclose to us as part of our usual budget preparation... which under the law & under the act they should have done.."

[Brendan May @bmay]

Nigel, doing his bit for Clacton by hanging out with a group of demented lunatics who from tomorrow will never wield much influence over anything of consequence, ever again.

[Kate isn't really here any more @katebevan]

hello @KemiBadenoch, my mum died alone during lockdown, not having seen me and my siblings at all in the run-up to her death. Meanwhile, your lot were slurping warm white wine in No 10. My anger at this still burns; it is not "overblown".

[Matt Green @mattgreencomedy]

Defending Partygate is certainly one way to make a new start

[Good Law Project @GoodLawProject]

When @DawnButlerBrent asked Rishi Sunak about a Tory data grab, Rishi Sunak claimed his party ‘follows all laws’.

Now, after our challenge, the regulator has ruled the Tories breached data law – and she’s demanding he sets the record straight.
