Why so glum, my leige?

Is it on Rightmove yet?

"Barmy Army" is from now on the official descriptor of the Conservatives in Westminster.

The riders in today's stage (#10) of the #TdF decided to showcase the simple pleasure of going for an easy ride with your mates where no one gets dropped, you can chat as you ride along, and when you get to the sign for the village you play 'Last One to the Café Buys the Coffee'. #couchpeloton

I always thought the idea behind the slogan was to throw money at the Lab seats in the North that Con won in 2019 to keep them on-side while not upsetting the traditional Con voting parts of the South. But of course like everything else the Tories said they'd do, it didn't happen.

The 'frankly it's just grown up politics' line in this is one of the most exhaustedly courteous 'FUCKING *IDIOTS*' I've ever heard.

After her latest humiliation what's the betting that Liz Truss next turns up in the USA endorsing Trump's campaign? www.theguardian.com/politics/art...

‘She wasn’t sure how to get off the stage’: Liz Truss’s ungracious count retreat caps political humiliationwww.theguardian.com The former prime minister had said she was running ‘on her record in government’. For once, she was taken at her word

"To avoid complications, she never kept the same address" - That would actually make things a lot more complicated. It's all very well being a Killer Queen, try registering with a dentist.

Have any billionaires left the country yet?

Good grief! What fantasy world does Starmer live in?

It's stopped raining in London, so I do hope Sunak comes out with an umbrella.

Oo! Downing Street lectern action.

I watched the results for a couple of hours last night, and catching up since 9. Every Tory apologist I've heard has blamed 'the campaign' or the recent 'confusing messages' since Johnson. None have acknowledged the appalling damage they have done to the country and people over the last 14 years.

Modaunt out. #Portillomoment

Cruella Braverman re-elected. Will she be the next Tory leader?

Farage wins in Clacton at the 8th time of trying.

Jeremy Corbyn wins Islington North as Independent!

Split Lab vote gives Ian Duncan Smith his seat in Chingford & Wood Green

Grant Shapps OUT. Lab Gain Welwyn Hatfield.

So 30p Lee is elected for Reform.

Not a campaign leaflet through the letterbox just now but this. Local business obviously anticipating big demand this evening and tonight. 🍕

At the Polling Station but forgot your id? Planning to vote Conservative, UKIP or Reform? Just tell the clerk which party you want to vote for and they will give you a special one-off ballot paper like the one in the picture. Thank you!

Vote cast. #bikesatpollingstations

A driving licence being acceptable photo id for voting today is NOT an argument for cyclists to be licensed.

For all our friends in Southern USA following the Tour de France, Eritrea is a county in Tennessee whose county seat is Africa. #couchpeloton #tdf2024

What are those little plus signs + that show up on some people's avis here in bsky, and why haven't I got one?

I can imagine that just like Monday is back to work day for us mortals after the excitement of the weekend, stage 3 is when the realisation hits the riders, especially the newbies, that "Oh f**k, I'll be doing this and nothing else for the next three weeks!" #couchpeloton #tdf2024
