Important news: it is now possible to travel from Berwick to Eastbourne without crossing a Conservative constituency.

Nigel Farage MP UK voters were asked whether they wanted to change our parliamentary election system in a 2011 referendum and overwhelmingly opted to stick with first-past-the-post; are you suggesting we should ask again in case they've changed their minds?

This is a good point - just because the Tories could only rule with vitriol and cronyism doesn’t mean that Labour will do the same.

The final seat is in. The general election of 2024 is over. A true transformation of Parliament has taken place. I can’t quite fathom that Conservative number. The Tory Party has never been more marginal or unimportant in British parliamentary politics.

🚨NEW: Suella Braverman has attacked Keir Starmer for scrapping the #RwandaScheme on his first day in office Scrapping the scheme sends a clear message to the world that the UK’s hard-won reputation for the rule of law & human rights will be safe in his Government’s hands

Still standing by these facts Rt Hon Michelle Donelan ?

Farage wanting a second referendum (on electoral reform) is, I confess, one of the very few examples of his epic dishonesty & devotion to double standards that I didn't predict...

Farrukh Fancy that, Andy Burnham talking sense on transport links while ministers sit on their hands! 🙄 It's almost like he understands the needs of the North better than those detached dudes in London. Who'd have thought connecting our cities could boost our economy!

Based on previous opinions from David Starkey I’ll take this with the pinch of salt it deserves - expect that there’s a lot more nonsense from Jacob Rees-Mogg and his ilk at PopCon (sounds like a 30p Lee music festival)

Lisa Nandy to DCMS staff: “For too long, for too many people, the story we tell ourselves, about ourselves as a nation has not reflected them, their communities or their lives. This is how polarisation, division and isolation thrives. In recent years we’ve found multiple ways

Ready to work hard for Milton Keynes 🌹

An incredible honour to be officially sworn in as the Member of Parliament for the Buckingham & Bletchley constituency (note the spelling BBC News (UK)!). For as long as I hold this position, I will serve tirelessly for everyone who lives in our towns, villages and city. 🙏🏽

Today we reset our relationship with Europe.

The political dynamics of this week’s far-right riots are unique on many levels. 🧵1/ First: it’s organised/incited. Tommy Robinson’s lieutenant “Danny Tommo” issued a call: searchlightmagazine.com/2024/07/tommy-…

We’ve just had an election. We voted for c. 500 left/liberal MPs out of 650. That’s what our country wants. Not the vicious, bigoted uselessness of the populist right. These hate riots are the work of a violent, racist minority whipped up by the losers. #FarageRiots #ToryRiots

Best thing you’ll see today. Reform are done ;)

More Labour sleaze?

“This is the time to be slow,
Lie low to the wall
Until the bitter weather passes.

Try, as best you can, not to let
The wire brush of doubt
Scrape from your heart
All sense of yourself
And your hesitant light.” ✨ John O'Donohue
