There certainly needs to be sanctions. If only our current Speaker had been more consistent in the past and will be in the future.

More corrections, when necessary, ought to be made. In a similar vein, can The Speaker insist that MPs are brought back to apologise and correct if they lie or mislead The Commons.

I’m hoping the days of BBC fear of even mentioning the word ‘Brexit’ are over. Huge harm has already been done to their reputation by not challenging lies and misinformation.

🎯🎯Yes, still a bit reeling about it all (could be body-clock all over the place), but in a good way. First and most important lesson for the Conservatives to learn is stop the lying.

Now that there are several parties with roughly equal amounts of representation in parliament, please can the media begin to reflect this? The obsession with Reform is disproportionate and they are thriving on the oxygen of publicity.

Fascinating footage, even if some of the camerawork of the concert left me a bit dizzy. Their reunion in 2005 is also worth watching.

It's possible, but I hope not. He could spend the next few months in The US, then come back to accept an offer to lead the Conservatives, leaving his colleagues in the lurch. He might also find the Commons is not the best vehicle for getting your views across as a leader of a minority Party.

The words 'service' and 'respect' have peppered his speeches. The only concept of service we saw from Sunak and his government was self-service.

It was what he wasn't sorry for that was revealing, in particular the lies, misinformation and corruption. He wasn't sorry for those things at all.

With 4 seats, Reform could be treated like a marginalised fringe group, if the media stopped their obsession with them. Lib-dems need to be more demonstrative in getting their fair share of screen time, and it will be interesting to see what ties a future Conservative Party forges with Reform.

The BBC need to get a sense of proportion. There are huge Labour swings which are almost being taken for granted.

Braverman is already encouraging the Party to move ever-more to the right, which may not be the winner she thinks it is. How does she account for the opinion polls and the connection with Starmer’s move towards the centre? With what she offers, I’m hoping for a wipeout.
