It's so refreshing to see a list of Ministerial appointments that doesn't read like a nightmarish selection of the worst characters from a PG Wodehouse novel.

Because there is such focus on 5 seats for Reform and so little for Green winning 4 I thought I would just pop this up - I hope this is the beginning of increasing belief that Green is not a wasted vote

Vallance as Science Minister as well as Timpson as Prisons & Probation Minister. Creating a government that wants to govern, rather than one that wants to rule.

‘Starmer scraps Rwanda policy’ But I was told Starmer’s Labour and the Tories are the same. It’s almost as if anyone saying that is some kind of cretinous buffoon, so emotionally hung up on not getting their precisely exact perfect version of Labour, they dismiss anything else as being Tory. Huh.

I love our election system in the UK. Less than 24 hours after voting we have a new government already working. Pic is from College Green, Westminster, where the media set up. #photography #blackandwhite #streetphotography

ReformUK and Farage (4 seats) getting wall to wall media coverage. Greens (4 seats) hardly getting a mention. UK media needs to give its head a wobble.

Theory: Liz Truss is a time traveller, sent back to change the past to benefit her evil clan. It was working, but then she accidentally killed the Queen, and now her timeline doesn't exist. Would explain the malicious cluelessness, and zero understanding of how people work

"Well, if you’re just joining us, the nation has delivered an all-night victim impact statement." "Meanwhile, it’s incredible to think that only a short while ago we thought we’d eradicated measles and Nigel Farage. Both have now been brought back, largely by the same people."

I'm sorry but at this stage, people who aren't committed to voting this November for the not-fascists are succumbing to the same mindset that influencers selling "natural" remedies to cancer patients peddle as good. Very unpleasant chemotherapy treatment sucks but is better than dying.

People are naturally focusing on Reform's large share of the vote. But the UK still has a progressive majority. If we had PR, the Tories plus Reform could not form a government; Labour plus Lib Dems plus Greens could.

Worth remembering, for the next five years, that the Tory party rules ASSUME they'll have a large number of sitting MPs. e.g. to automatically start a leadership context only 15% of tory MPs have to put in letters. 15% of 130ish seats is... not a lot.
