Watching the ITV undercover report. They're just fascists.

The most worrying part of the ITV undercover revelations was how many Reform politicians were expecting to get in and then enact extremist policies which they hid from the electorate. Nazi playbook

Will @bbclaurak.bsky.social get round to asking Dorries about the ITV undercover revelations? It could be comedy gold (although it's possibly a bit early for her to have been on the gin).

Chris Mason says that Burnham's meeting with Man City's owners in 2017 attracts questions that any PM would have to answer. I'll wait for anyone to show Mason asking Johnson about his garden bridge, his Italian sojourn with the KGB agent or in fact any of his misdemeanors.

Kemi Badenoch wants to exempt the family home from inheritance tax. But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT. That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing. A 🧵 on bad tax cuts.

If the Tories say there will be no inheritance tax on family homes, that must apply to £20 million mansions? #SameOldTories.

Did the US evacuate its staff from the roof of RAF Fairford by helicopter in a sort of Vietnam tribute act?

Justin Webb finishes his interview with the Israeli President with "All the best". WTF #R4Today

I can't wait to find out what it was that Man City were found Not Guilty of.

I'm looking forward to the day when BBC News can go a whole hour without mentioning the small boats..

Did I hear that right? Trump's ballroom will cover a secret military complex and he invited the Chinese delegation to come and have a look at progress.

George 'Peter Thiels mate' Osborne? Who gives a shit what that odious little turd says? He doesn't care about the people of this country.

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her. RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

I'm not convinced that Coventry can avoid relegation this season, no matter how late their fans turn up....

Have we stopped the benefits and pensions and turned everything off for the residents of Paddington yet?

Nick Ferragi clarified that he supports the RNLI but not the bit where they're saving asylum seekers in tiny inflatables. Let's hope he doesn't drift off on an airbed off Margate without his passport.

Astonishing to hear people say they'd rather asylum seekers drowned than be saved by the RNLI. Next comes letting people die in burning hostels rather than be saved by the fire brigade and letting people get kicked to death in the street rather than be saved by the Police. Don't platform this hate.

What does the Government do when the masked terrorists turn up at a nuclear power station?

I wonder if Rishi Sunak feels any shame from first using the phrase "Stop the boats" in this country?

Reform fall in the polls, so their masked stormtroopers are activated to agitate on the streets. It's organised and it's worrying.

Farage says that he wasn't listening during his sting lunch. I find it hard to believe that his ears didn't prick up when the figure of £500000 was mentioned. It's not like he's uninterested in money.

Kemi Badenoch says she would never go into coalition with Reform to get power. So that settles it. She definitely would go into coalition with Reform.

Is Harry Cole a journalist or a cheerleader for Reform Ltd? #Newsnight

Farage says they didn't break the law because they didn't actually take any illegal foreign money. By that standard, terrorists are only criminals if they carry out the terrorist act. Farage wants to fool his supporters into believing that conspiracy is a crime in itself.

How interesting that Chris Mason calls the Deputy Leader of Reform, Richard rather than Tice. Says a lot about the relationship.

It looks like you will be seeing a Mackem in Milan.

The normally vocal Tees Valley mayor Ben Houchen is uncharacteristically silent on the issues around Middlesbrough. Where is he?

Now will people believe that there is something rotten within Tottenham Hotspurs? Unbelievable that some pundits say they'll finish 3rd. They have been 17th twice for a reason.

Watching Channel 4 News on +1 doing a hit job on Jason Arday, whilst reading that he's dead. Shocking that similar examples of plagiarism by white professors did not result in sacking and media coverage.

Binface gets almost 10000 votes and #BBCToday doesn't mention it. Just waiting for Chris Mason to come on to fluff Farage some more.

Justin Webb tickles Lee Anderson's toes whilst raising asylum seekers. Pity he couldn't have brought up climates as houses burn in the middle of another unprecedented heatwave. #BBCToday.

#Binface at 31% in the latest poll in a 2 horse race. Is it possible that there could be a bandwagon starting in the final week? We can dream.

Can electoral lightning strike twice? #VoteBinface #Clacton

Labour win the Manchester Mayoral race with more than double Reform's votes and Sky News don't say how bad a result this is for Reform. Why?

Yet another election loss for Reform UK. When will Nigel Farage take responsibility and resign? Oh wait, he already has.

Johnson fangirl says that she sees no evidence of deep political thinking in Andy Burnham. Irony is dead.

Someone point me towards Justin Webb berating the Tories for not building any prisons. I'll wait #R4Today

I asked Siri to play a snivelling little shit and Chris Mason popped up on #R4Today

What's the delay with presenting the World Cup. Does trump need his diaper changing?

The World Cup definitely did not need an extended half time so that a load of has-beens can mime badly. Never again in America.

Is there actually a world where one of the main parties makes Farage a Lord just to make him go away? I hope not.

A great friend of Trump caught cheating. I know it could be any of his associates so I'll narrow it down by saying #DeChambeau

www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou... I've found Farage's security demand for the Home Secretary.

The COVID enquiry doesn't find evidence of corruption. Matt Hancock and his pub landlord must get relieved. What a cover-up.
