Resign.

What if political reporters, as a whole, thought their job was to inform, educate and keep a level head rather than whip up drama? Embarrassing stuff.

Candidates like Andy Street look like they’re in the wrong party. Doesn’t means they should be Labour. Just means they don’t look at home with the Tories.

Congratulations, Sadiq Khan on being elected Mayor of London for a third term.

London is one of the great European capital cities.

One day, it will back at the heart of the EU where it belongs ! 🇪🇺🇬🇧

Lovely to hear two classy speeches from Richard Parker for West Mids Mayor 🌹 and Andy Street showing you can profoundly disagree with each other and still be generous and decent to your opponents.

Before the start of play this morning, everyone at Lord's paid their respects to Josh Baker, who tragically passed away earlier this week.

Our thoughts are very much with Josh's family, friends and everyone connected to Worcestershire County Cricket Club.

This is HANDS DOWN the best thing I have ever heard a politician say about a result.

'Well, we know that there's a recount. So, we know either that Andy Street has won or he has nearly won. Either result shows how well the Conservatives are doing.' 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

MCC members want an analysis of the full long term implications of franchise ownership of the 💯 for the whole game especially the implications for ECB’s support for the 18 counties and the game of cricket. They seek a full discussion and member vote. Will they get one?

“It’s always true that when a party is in trouble, its voters are more likely to say don’t know to the pollsters and they have less motivation to go to the vote.”

Professor Sir John Curtice says, finishing his marathon sprint coverage on the BBC.

‘He’s now the Reform candidate…how does that benefit the Conservative Party?’

Former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng is scathing about Rishi Sunak’s decision to take the Tory whip away from Lee Anderson.

TORIES LOSE GLOUCESTER

The state of the NHS after 14 yrs of deliberate, calculated government underfunding - patients put at risk by hospital ceilings literally collapsing.

They’re destroying NHS staff, buildings, morale & capacity to care.

And they just don’t care.

Here Gary explains why the projections of Labour’s national vote share from the local elections are lower than the general election opinion polls suggest. It is a bit nonsensical to talk about Labour being on course to fall short of a majority because these projections are based…

‘Things are not as bad on the ground as the results last night might suggest.’

Conservative MP, Dame Andrea Leadsom, declares that she expects to see some Conservative by-election victories on the horizon.

Two of the smartest commentators.

In a way this is shaping ideally for Labour in the GE. Being underpriced will sharpen focus, scare their base straight and encourage tactical voting. And just enough hope will keep the Tories bravely marching, unchanged, toward certain doom. ~AA

WHAT A PICTURE 😍

I wish the Tories lining up to condemn my tweet were as vocal in calling about the abuse that Sadiq receives or the Cabinet members who gave Lee Anderson their backing when he said Sadiq was controlled by Islamists.

Criticise Sadiq’s politics? Fair enough. But racism? Never OK.

We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Jonathan Mills. A true gentleman and a fine cricketer, 'Millsy' was one of the best club men going around and will be sorely missed by all at Brookweald. Our love and prayers go out to Millsy's family and friends at this time.
