Hard to believe that this is legal from a ‘working’ MP. It’s certainly not appropriate - although unlikely Farage’s fabled ‘moral compass’ would be undermined by that. Pure brilliance from @ledbydonkeys.org

I was really proud that we included Hillsborough Law in our first Kings Speech. The PM and Ministers have collaborated and worked with families and campaigners to publish this important Bill today.
We should all be really proud of this Bill and the culture change it will bring.

Nice thread @sebastiansalek on the myth of the ‘inevitability’ of Reform winning the next election. It would be better that broadcasters took a more balanced view, but if they do opt to platform Reform they should at least interrogate them. Brexit, anyone?
Reform’s polling lead is astonishingly brittle.
The headline numbers may look impressive, but the underlying data reveals a fundamental weakness.

Thoughtful analysis by @soozuk.bsky.social of what must have been a parody performance by Jenkyns at the Nige show. She omits to remind us that if you watch it, you’ll never sleep soundly again.
🧵Andrea Jenkyns coming out on stage singing: a short analysis.
Firstly: the sequin jumpsuit is🔥. It suits her. But it's also more conservative than she wants us to think it is. Long sleeves. Only a tiny bit of skin on show. It's not remotely daring, it's just sparkly. And the flag broach? Too big.
