Former MI6 chief Sir Alex Younger to ITV: “Putin would’ve been absolutely delighted by our decision (to leave the EU) and so would Xi.” “Particularly since I've left office and I've travelled around Europe, I'm profoundly depressed. Just nobody mentions the UK. We've made ourselves irrelevant.”

Like, if this big win doesn't translate into actual, tangible improvements in people's lives, a) what's the point, b) that's perfect conditions for the far right.

Now Labour are elected you know there will be many saying they are not left enough, red enough, quick enough, doing things in the right way. That’s just the bedroom Bolshevik background noise, a new challenge begins which is to ensure they focus on results that keep the Tories out #KTTO

I am tired of luvvies and the media wealthy who present radical left ideology, demand it’s acted on and which they are protected from by cotton wool made of £50 notes.

Although I have pointed to the Fascism of Farage, it’s best not to insult Reform. They must be taken seriously, their impact measured and reduced, by a better management of our economy and policy that makes all our lives better.

I spent 25 years of my career dealing with families and their children who were victims of peadophiles. These inhuman monsters wreck lives. The psychological damage lasts a life time. Anyone who thinks those who have committed these crimes is suitable for any public office is totally deluded.

Most of us want a better life for all, an equitable, accepting supportive society. Some times it’s just for ourselves or our family but also for our community and country. It won’t be enough to want Labour to do it for us. Together we must work and act to make the change that supports a new vision.

Things are already starting to get better. So much has to be rebuilt to restore what we lost and invest in what we need that it will take time, patience, and determination.

Bonkers. Still lab scale, but a team has created an anode free, solid state, sodium battery. It's basically just sodium and an aluminum (some powdered) current collector. Huge theoretical potential for abundance, fast charging, high density.

Of all the huge moments last night I think I'll most remember the BBC split screen showing Grant Shapps, Michael Green, Corinne Stockheat, and Sebastian Fox all losing their seats at the same time.

Cambridgeshire: 'A house on our street has had a ‘No Tory Knockers’ sign up all election. Today, it’s ‘495: you legends. Bye Lucy’. 495 votes were the difference between a parachuted in Tory MP and a local champion, LibDem one.'

James Timpsonn is a good choice for prisons minister. But the new Govt has to listen and act. It was the lack of either of those things that the Tories failed so abysmally and deliberately on doing. Obviously there weren't enough bribes in prison reform to interest them.

Getting a bit sick of this commentary that Reform have come from nowhere. Theyve come from UKIP and Brexit Party, and migration from the Tory party.
It's just a renaming

While it's nice to finally hear a Tory say sorry, Sunak taking responsibility for this loss shows yet again how they are not listening. This was not about timing; this was about lying, incompetence, £ to mates/donors, parties, vicious policies, cruelty and damage. ALL Tories played their part

Wouldn't it be nice if they grew up enough to do their dirty washing away from us. It's been 14 years of their drama and damage. We've booted them out so we don't have to listen to, and deal with, the fallout of their toxicity any longer.

Farage is the tiger who came to tea. He is not powerful but he is also not harmless. As Campbell said earlier, he doesn’t solve problems, he uses them. He is the existential threat to the U.K. that Trump is in the US.

Of course, Nadine Dorries provided the comedy turn of the evening on Channel 4 (the channel she tried to close down because they were too mean to Boris), making gaffe after gaffe until Alastair Campbell lost patience and told her to ‘get over’ Boris Johnson! 😂 www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

Catching up on Sunak’s resignation speech and wondering where we might be as a nation if that version had been in charge. There’s clearly a human in there, but not one willing to take on the right.

I am a huge fan of that lady. She's brilliant and does it in a way that is both charming and devastating, which is a rare set of skills. I'd love to see her in a Presidential primary the next time the field is open. I'm not opposed to her as Kamala Harris' running mate in 2028 either.

Listening to the word soup from the likes of Truss and Baker on their way out, and Braverman, you'd say that the battle for soul for the Conservative Party is about to begin. Or you would if you thought it had one any longer. #GE2024
