Just another 70 minutes of incredulity from Fletch and Ally. #atmtot #championsleague

Blimey, there’s a lot of slipping going on here. #atmtot #championsleague

Tremendous entertainment served up in that first half - both teams. #galliv #championsleague

That’s good - and apposite. The β€˜gathering clouds’ mood…

Keep an eye on Robert Jenrick on leadership ambitions. He was reading the tea leaves at the weekend - with distinct signs that he was distancing himself from a UK offensive role. Nigel Farage late to the β€˜catching up’ party…

The Iran war should be a lesson for Keir Starmer's Government. If you take a clear line on an issue where the public agree with you then it's your opponents who end up having to back down, not you

Reform UK really are so lucky.

For a party of eight MPs they have the UK’s biggest news broadcaster on retainer.

Here we see their political editor doing the job of a local newspaper reporter.

For Farage.

EIGHT MPs.

Hmm. I think he might be right πŸ€”

Cor, sure would feel great right now if we were self-sufficient in renewable energy, and laughing at all the rubes reliant on global oil supplies. We'd have a bit of a swagger in our step today.

A Reform government will display Union flags on everything, right up until we replace them when we become the 51st state of America.

A sense there, to me, that Robert Jenrick is keeping a β€˜weather eye’ on the opinion polls to gauge how the public are seeing UK involvement. #bbclaurak

A great watch. Marred by Marc Cucurella going straight to the referee demanding a red card. His every subsequent touch deservedly booed by the Wrexham crowd. #wreche

Your regular reminder that the UK is in fact a high trust society and anyone who implies it isn’t is either selling you a pup or has bought one.

Yep. Seen some nervous performances in the Commons

Chancellor Mertz meekly sitting there whilst Trump drove a wedge between European allies. A touch of the Zelensky’s wouldn’t have gone amiss! #c4news

After the Trump onslaught, quite extraordinary that Charles and Camilla are off next month to USA on a state visit. #c4news

probably more accurate to say "this is not Tony Blair that we're dealing with"
