🙌 Labour’s victory in Blackpool South represents one of the biggest swings in postwar electoral history.

🙌The Tories avoided being beaten into third by only 117 votes.

🙌The Conservatives had lost more than half of the councillors who were up for election so far. If that…

Lord Houchen is literally turning Teesside into a Freeport hell and selling it all to his mates for nothing while using more than half a billion of taxpayers money to build everything FOR THEM.

And they still voted him in.

WHY?

Well, this is actually big news.

Lib Dems have won more Council seats than the Tories.

BBC has now adjusted their chart to shove the Tories further to the Right.

(They'd probably be happy with that, to be fair)

“What?”, Isobel exclaimed, “not one bloody councillor Dicky?”

That Reform Party political earthquake put into perspective...

Houchen wins the Tees Mayoral race despite the Teeswork scandal. As happened with the Post Office scandal, Private Eye Magazine will continue to expose this boondoggle, until everyone else finally starts taking notice.

Is that so?

Congratulations David Allen & Clare Moody - newly elected Labour Police & Crime Commissioners in Cumbria & Avon & Somerset. Look forward to working with you on neighbourhood policing, tackling rural crime, knife crime, violence against women & girls and more 🌹

NEW: It appears that Harlow may in fact have fallen into no overall control

The result was 17 Tory, 16 Lab. But Labour points out the Tories owe their majority to James Leppard, who was suspended by the Tories in April

If he's not been readmitted, he's an independent, not Tory

Awkward

Big news, that I fear might get lost. ~AA

BREAKING: The High Court rules Rishi Sunak's climate plan is unlawful, in major victory for green groups.

The campaigners argued that Grant Shapps signed off the government's climate plan to reach Net Zero without any evidence it could actually be achieved.

They’re not very good at this governing thing are they

Buying honours has been illegal since Lloyd George hawked them a century ago, so big-money donors to the Conservatives are gonged not for largesse but 'political service' as treasurer to the party. Or, in the case of £5.6m donor Sir Mohamed Mansour, knighted in Rishi Sunak's…

Govt spokesperson cheerily telling us that voter ID works, saying that at last year’s elections ‘99.75% of people were able to cast their vote successfully.’ That means 0.25% weren’t, which may sound small, but in an average general election that’s 200,000 voters.

Walked into the polling station & proudly declared 'I'm voting for Susan Hall'. The whole room burst into applause.

Moments later the police arrived & forced me at gunpoint to vote for Hamas instead.

Then they tasered a D-Day veteran.

THIS is Khan's London.

I see the Cons are trying to make a big thing about low turnout which is a bit rich coming from the party that introduced rules that make it considerably more difficult to vote.

One of these blokes is a Nobel prize winning economist.

The other is a member of the hopeless Tory government who’s trying to explain economics ….. to the Nobel prize winner.

You can’t make this sh1t up.

Change is coming.
Time for a general election.
