BTW, I'm pleased that NR lost in France. But it's pretty tough to celebrate the ascendancy of a guy who called French Jews “an arrogant minority that lectures to the rest” in a 2017 speech.

Only one of the Cabinet went to public school? How am I supposed to get jobs I'm manifestly ill-qualified for under these horrendous conditions?

There is something quite glorious in making a significant change of policy happen by the simple expedient of deleting two footnotes.

It only goes to show that if anything is foul enough it should be possible to come together to oppose it. Americans please take note.

I’m going to have to admit that Macron, the President of France, knows more about France than I, a man on the Internet, does.

The Telegraph wants you to feel sorry for a retired couple who made a £1.3 million profit on a £300,000 home.

Reform getting so few seats for their votes definitely shows how bad FPTP is at representing people’s choices. But it also shows that Reform and its predecessors aren’t interested in doing the hard work of operating within the system. It’s a vanity project for its leadership.

Thank fuck for that. Starmer’s new England.

Ahh, it’s that time of year when English people gather around TVs to watch England go out of a tournament on penalties.

Oh. Good.

Still on track.

I think they should start the match with a generally-quite-accurate prediction of the result like they do with the election.

I hate the song Cecilia and this Suggs version of it is the worst. #totp

Quite enjoying the staggered hecklers at Farage’s event.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, I like it when they say nice things about each other.

I had a meeting in that building once.

She’s not Keir Starmer. I WILL NOT BE FOOLED AGAIN.

Don’t believe that I don’t get an equerry.

Starmer is 61. Quite old for the job, comparatively, but still 17 years younger than Trump and 20 years younger than Biden.

I think all this could be planned better for TV. They fill for hours then a crazy number of seats all come in at once, then they fill for hours again. Just artificially spread the results out a bit.

Since Debbonaire lost her seat, could we prolong Ed Davey’s outward bound holiday by giving him DCMS?

I’m spending the start of this new era in British politics how I intend to spend much more of it: uncomfortably full of pizza.

Starmer currently brainstorming ideas on nice things he can say about Sunak in his speech. “In many ways, Rishi Sunak was there, and although he showed few signs of being capable of the job, he still gave it a go and no-one can be truly sure he was worse than his predecessor”

America has made me deeply grateful for respectful transfers of power.

Although not been seen anywhere, and you can have lots of reservations about Labour but this was fundamentally Morgan McSweeney’s night.
