The Defence Secretary resigned saying the PM couldn't keep the country safe and the entire govt is just sitting there as if nothing happened while they wait for a guy who's already tripping over his own feet to win a by-election. These are not serious people!

This would be a good argument if HMT and no 10 had set up a plan to fix it. Their refusal to do that is why the Defence Sec resigned and they need to own that.

We need a statue of this image and the text here engraved on the plinth and we need it now this woman is everything that made this country great

Ok maybe I *will* watch the world cup, this sounds great!

@scotlibdems.org.uk idea for you ;-)

In the before times BuzzFeed would have a quiz up by now for 'which Peter Murrell embezzlement item are you' and this is what they took from us

Someone regrets not putting more nice stuff on the wedding list LMAO

Now come on. Ashley Giles was a great bowler and with the Pope's blessing, well.

According to the radio Pat Mcfadden said the culture of the SNP needs to be examined and oh wow my man is that really a rock that you, a member of the Labour party, want to turn over?

Me too, wolf. Me too.

I bet if he used AI and she didn't the reviewers would say she couldn't even use AI tools and mark him up anyway 😩

Ohhhhhh the beer thing is just Americans for latte discourse. Got it now.

They'll definitely be cheaper right, the providers won't just bank the money right, this one time it'll be different right?

This is a five alarm fire of a stat

Someone should try to govern before we declare this

Is there a point where Burnham starts to look a bit desperate and the shine comes off?

Oh shit it's going to be Cooper isn't it?

Genuinely bemused as to how they've memed themselves into thinking Burnham is the answer. Why do they think Starmer has failed and how does Burnham fix any of those problems?

Yeah we need to be asking ourselves some questions

A UK government that was actually focused on growth would phone this man tomorrow offering to match him with a UK institution and sort visas for him, his team and their families by the end of the month. Generational fumble.

I accidentally put a dishwasher tab in my laundry instead of an anti-limescale tab. On a scale of 1-10 how big a problem is this?

Someone check the CCTV at his nearest station - if he was buying a bottle of scotch it's game over for Keir

Is this not the new Birmingham council makeup?

No idea what happened in Shetland but this is shaping up to be a good result for us in Scotland - absolutely did not see the Strathkelvin result coming!

There was nothing in the pollen to suggest this would happen

The problem with being an insurgent populist right party three years out from a general election is that you always have to go further and further and that's how you end up saying things like this

This is a great day for my 'seek out and block anyone who's weird about Will Stancil' bluesky strategy

Honestly all the flights chat is just making me v sad, I really picked a bad time to book my first ever flight-based family holiday... And the waiting and hoping is worse than knowing 😩

That Polanski cartoon is absolutely rancid. Fireable offence IMV

Two out of three of these are targeting women journalists. I'd be interested to know if this is just these three or if that's a pattern

A bookshop because my town doesn't have a bookshop. It would have beanbags in it and I'd do storytime for kids. I'd lose SO much money.

We live in the future

Weird. Or is it wierd. I'm never sure.

Now two differences in US Cluedo: (i) It's called'Clue' (ii) No deaths can happen in the Ballroom.

Now to take a big sip of coffee and look at Andy Burnham's twitter history

Citation very much fucking needed

It's obviously not funny that the Home Secretary is attacking voters for their skin colour but on the other hand it's extremely funny that they're so incompetent they can't even do racism properly

Don't really get why they're all looking at Burnham still. All feels a bit pie in the sky

This is turning into a great example of how soft soap interviews can sometimes be more revealing than hard hitting ones because people relax and say more than they mean to.

Call me a humourless scold but I don't find it funny that the Home Secretary wants to taser or deport political opponents, that's actually quite scary

I think this whole insane scandal has broken my brain because this tweet made me giggle uncontrollably for a full minute

"Will Ed Miliband survive as PM until the 2029 election?" If you'd heard that in 2014 you're imagining a VERY different decade 🤣

Big Wet Wipe knows how to make wet wipes that can be removed one at a time but refuses to do so because they make so much money when you pull them out in clumps

Men will run the straight of Hormuz in a cruise liner rather than go to therapy

This is interesting and there's a lot to say about it, but I think this bit specifically is almost right, but actually wrong. It's not about retaining the centre-right remainers who got the LDs 72 seats - those people aren't going anywhere. It's about trying to win the next tranche of seats

The trouble is that the current structure makes this well nigh impossible. Every job I've been in I max out the employer contribution and usually put in a bit more and I'm not even close to this. People who aren't obsessed with pensions don't have a chance
