How does this even count as reporting/journalism?

Amazing that the Tories put out nonsense re London last night to ease things for Sunak and some of the media bought it

Pretty sure Emmanuel Macron wants Kaja Kallas in EU top foreign affairs post (High Representative) after EU elections & this was discussed. But as a senior German official told me: “Kaja eats Russians for breakfast. What will she do for lunch and dinner?” Unclear where Berlin is

‼️ Labour on course for big general election victory after Thursday’s local elections and stunning Labour win in Blackpool South parliamentary by-election. BBC study shows little change since last year’s local contests. Rishi Sunak’s fightback simply not working
