I’ve seen a lot of politicians at close quarters and it’s clear to me that the current team at the top of the Labour party are serious people of integrity and ability. I will happily vote to entrust the next five years of our nation’s government to their hands.

Senior Tories expect a significant number of further MP resignations over the weekend, in the wake of Gove’s and Leadsom’s decisions not to fight the election. Quite a number who have been re-approved as candidates have been in two minds, and thought they had till the autumn to

Gove down. Leadsom down. Tits up.

The plan is working.

The press call was the PM building

*checks notes*

a red brick wall

Sir Keir Starmer on #MartynsLaw : “I don’t think the PM was quite straight with Martyn’s mum… we will make it a priority for an incoming Labour government” Figen Murray OBE LBC LBCNews

Starmer taking various questions from workers at a building depot in marginal seat in NW, covering off pensions, potholes, defence spending, leaseholders, NHS. In GE campaigns, public interactions often very controlled but this was unfiltered

Day 2 of the Campaign:

✅ Get caught lying to a grieving mother
✅ Refuse to pay up on a bet for charity
✅ Abandon your flagship anti-smoking policy and proudly tell journalists “this shows the type of Prime Minister I am.”
✅Photo opp at the Titanic

I mean seriously. Who is in charge of this shambles? Visiting the Titanic exhibition? What next - Sunak pays visit to local funeral directors? It's almost unfathomable how many basic errors have been made and it's only Day 3.

Pretty astonishing detail — Sunak told Martyn Hett's mother on the anniversary of the Manchester bombing that legislation in his name would be presented to Parliament before summer recess, and then proceeded to call an election the same day.

You can disagree on a lot of things but the guys a class act that’s for sure. Our country will be better off for that alone - such a step change from the last 14 years.

How beautiful does my ward look two seconds into Keir Starmer's launch video?

🚨Conservative campaign launch update: Security are currently forcing our Sky News team out for for no apparent reason.

Whole exchange was live on Sky News with Darren McCaffrey

What generic song are they using? 🤣

I need an 'Alexa, play 'Things Can Only Get Better'' t-shirt... 🌹

Change.

Memo to James Cleverly🇬🇧, the public don't hate Keir Starmer, attacking him won't help you...

Forced to work in the rain unnecessarily?

Join a union.

Wow, Sky News reporter being kicked out of the Conservatives event tonight - absolutely awful optics...

If the Tories get more than 100 MPs I'd be astonished! #Change
