Loved that from Chris Mason on BBC News at 10: "At Number 10, change is in the air; and [Sunak's] chest of drawers ... is in the van."

More than 400,000 people were denied a vote in the UK General Election because of the Tories’ voter suppression, mainly from ethnic minority groups. This needs to be tackled immediately.

Monstrous. And let’s not forget - we have people who will sit in the HoC who still support Putin.

One of Keir Starmer’s first tasks was to call President Zelenskyy and reaffirm the UK’s “unswerving support for Ukraine”.

‘Starmer scraps Rwanda policy’ But I was told Starmer’s Labour and the Tories are the same. It’s almost as if anyone saying that is some kind of cretinous buffoon, so emotionally hung up on not getting their precisely exact perfect version of Labour, they dismiss anything else as being Tory. Huh.

Vallance as Science Minister as well as Timpson as Prisons & Probation Minister. Creating a government that wants to govern, rather than one that wants to rule.

Pinched from threads, and really good to see ministers being appointed according to their knowledge/skill set, and to jobs they should actually be able to do

When the bar has been set so low for so long, it’s almost giddying to have credible, experienced, serious people in cabinet and to be spoken to with respect and understanding. Clearly, that’s the least we deserve. Right now it feels transformational.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

France's far-right National Rally party's figurehead Marine Le Pen says if her party's prime minister is in power, they would "prevent Ukraine from using French-supplied long-range weapons to strike inside Russia."

Excellent speech by Keir Starmer. He is the anti-Johnson 👏

The Green Party now has 4 seats, the same number as Reform. I wonder who will get more TV coverage.

Exit poll said Reform 91% likely to win Hartlepool. They only got half Labour's votes 😬

Hartlepool result: LAB GAIN Jonathan Brash (Lab) - 16,414 Tommy Dudley (WPoB) - 248 Sam Lee (Ind) - 895 Peter Maughan (LD) - 572 Jill Mortimer (Con) - 7,767 Amanda Napper (Ref) - 8,716 Vivienne Neville (Her) - 65 Jeremy Spyby-Steanson (Grn) - 834 #UKGE2024

Can we put the exit poll aside and start again? #UKGE2024

George Galloway has lost in Rochdale 👏

Gary Gibbon on Channel 4, following both Barnsley seats going to Labour: "It's not unthinkable Reform could be as low as one seat" Still one too many, but MUCH better than the 13 indicated by the exit poll 🙏

Lots of things to like about the Channel 4 election coverage, but why do we have to suffer four former senior Tory ministers on the panel, balanced by only two Labour people? 🤷‍♂️ TBF Kwarteng so-far coming across as a reasonably rational and half-decent human being. Not so Dorries 🤪
