LOL. 🙄

Excellent second reading of the 'Hillsborough' Bill by the Prime Minister today in the HoC. Powerful, heartfelt, emotional, compassionate, and empathetic—often looking up and speaking directly to the Hillsborough campaigners in the gallery.

Ah! I didn't know the Conservative rules were that they had to allow a year before mounting a leadership challenge.

That explains why Badenoch has lasted so long. 😂

Remember Jenrick didn't report a man carrying a knife onto the tube, saying, he didn't call it in because he was focused on exposing fare evasion.

Well there was me thinking that #BBCPolitics
hadn't posted who they were having on #bbclaurak
today because there'll probably be someone from Reform on and the #bbc are avoiding the online backlash. 🙄

About time someone talked about properly scrutinising this grifter, Farage. 👏👏
Of course, it means he will probably not appear, however if he refuses to do so, then I hope Sophie & Wilf will be flagging up his shirking too.

🎵And another one bites the dust🎵

Also in this article:
"we have been told that as many as four more councillors could resign from the party over the next week".

AND:

"..a very public row among Reform members in a Cornish pub last week". 😂🤣😂

David Bull on #Skyews "You can't take politics personally" yet his leader sulks in the gallery at #PMQs over hurty words in the chamber.
Also, David attributes a recent MRP poll showing Reform AHEAD, to their loss in #Caerphilly. 🙄
You know those polls Reform are always bragging about. 😂

“We had almost no engagement about any of it…”

Tories still a joke.

Neil O'Brien, on #SkyNews, to Matt Barbet, "Reeves's going around blaming everything that happened in the past for the economy."

M.B. "I'm sure you're not denying, you left things in a worse state than you'd've liked."

N.O. "Well, in 2010, we inherited the worst...." 😂

Well I'm sure Badenoch's #BBCLauraK interview must have knocked a couple of points off their polling.
By the end of their conference (she's doing 2 speeches) they could be in negative equity. 😂

Farage insists Reform isn’t racist.

I’ve got 20 documented cases that say otherwise.

When the fringe and the manifesto sing the same tune, you don’t have a crank problem - you have a culture problem.

From “target practice” on refugees to burqa bans in Parliament, the tally tells the story better than Farage ever could.
