Watching Jeremy Hunt literally short-circuit when confronted with cold, hard facts that dismantle his whole worldview is incredible to watch. #bbclaurak

Is mainstream media finally calling out the snake-oil populism of Reform UK and figures like Robert Jenrick? Where was this scrutiny when they were laying the groundwork years ago? #bbclaurak

Just watched a couple buy 8 big bottles of water & 6 bottles of wine. Trying to work out if they’re getting emergency supplies in or just stocking up for a big weekend.

I've stocked up on dog food, dog treats and dog mixers just in case... my wife asked me "what are we going to eat?" - to which I answered "we've got loads of baked beans in already..."

An important part of defeating the racism emerging at both political extremes is to unite people of good will from across the political spectrum. The Left are going to have to learn that. The battle against prejudice can't be subject to a party card purity test.
Kemi’s team writing a good speech doesn’t undo the racism the Tories encouraged while cosplaying as Farage. Their biggest donor wished death on Diane Abbott. They didn’t condemn Lee Anderson’s Islamophobia. Now the far right chant “stop the boats” a Tory slogan, in violent mobs

Isn't it a bit rich to call for unity against racism while immediately using it to take swipes at those on the left? If you're genuinely serious about collaboration here, perhaps you should practice what you are currently preaching?

Would Badenoch or Burnham make a better PM? The Tory leader gives her big speech at the Conservative Party conference today. Ms Badenoch says the next election will be 'a battle for the soul of this nation'. Is she the one to save it?

A child care policy which will "spend an extra £700 million on some of the most affluent households in the land"... I'm not sure that's where the Tories need to be at the moment tbh... #jeremyvine

The optics are grim - cutting benefits to fund childcare for those earning over £100,000, coupled with an ineffective “iron dome” and scrapping the EA. If this were an A-level politics student’s draft manifesto, it would be torn to shreds... #r4today #bbcbreakfast

The optics are dire - reducing benefits on one hand to finance childcare for those earning over £100,000, alongside an ineffective “iron dome” & the removal of the EA. If this were an A-level politics student’s draft manifesto, it would be ripped apart.

The spat over what the Tory missile shield is called is irrelevant. What matters is Kemi Badenoch has gained traction on a major defence policy, an area where Labour and Reform have created a vacuum. Andy Burnham hardly mentioned it. Reform don't even have a defence spokesman.

Labour and the Tories have gutted Britain's industry, leaving areas like Redcar behind. Reform will scrap net zero, reindustrialise Britain and bring thousands of good jobs back into local areas.

One of the UKs biggest top tier Net Zero related projects is in ... Redcar - you actually went to Redcar and said that you want to scrap net-zero? Let's see how that pans out... #bbcpoliticsnorth

Another day, another electricity shortage NESO begs for more generation today to prevent blackout risk Net Zero to blame Only @reformparty_uk will scrap Net Zero and bring bills down
I had just hit post when this update hit, slightly ahead of schedule (unusually) Also unusually, the expected shortfall has GONE UP!! Only slightly to 1880 MW but still that's very unusual. Typically after an EMN is issued the shortfall progressively reduces as generators make more generation available, grid maintenance is moved around and some demand reductions are found That the shortfall has increased and the EMN has been updated slightly early suggests NESO is asking the market again to look at what it can deliver This is now officially in the energy winter (started 1 Oct) but still unusual for the time of year @Miatsf @mgshanks @AndrewBowie_MP @ClaireCoutinho @ColinMoynihanUK @griffitha @drlukeevans @ashley7fox @TiceRichard @cmackinlay @mattwridley @DavidGHFrost @Iromg @AllisonPearson @MerrynSW @EdConwaySky @afneil @mattotele @jonathan_leake @julietsamuel @energygovuk @neso_energy

Anyone in the power generation industry knows your statement is incorrect - your framing either shows staggering ignorance or is wilfully misleading - as for Porter - just how "independent" is she?

Would you trust the Tories to run the country again? On the first day of the Conservative Party conference, Kemi Badenoch argued that only she has a plan to fix Britain. Do you back her? Perhaps you still blame the Tories for Britain's current ills?

I hear of childcare promises to those earning well over the UK average wage and the merging of environment agencies into DEFRA without realising the legal implications... #jeremyvine

Zack Polanski's party has just passed a motion saying Israel shouldn't exist.
They’re barring a Jewish party leader from entering Israel because he criticized a secular political ideology which is supposed to be built on the idea that all Jews anywhere in the world have a right to return to Israel. Beyond. Parody.

Well, perhaps that's a timely distraction from Badenoch and Griffith peddling absolute nonsense this morning...
Andrew Griffith conveniently forgets his party cut the budgets of the Environment Agency & Natural England to the bone and now wants to fold them into DEFRA, ditching their legal independence... #r4today #bbcbreakfast

If Badenoch & Griffith get their way and scrap these watchdogs then DEFRA officials better brush up fast on flood defences, housing targets... and legal challenges. #r4today #bbcbreakfast
