BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

Part o me wants him to lose as it would be historic and a fitting end, part o me thinks if he gets elected he’ll have to suffer the indignity of #TorySuperMinority tho no doubt he’ll leg it in his helicopter to California either way before long 🗳️

“Every day, Commander Vimes of the City Watch would be home at six o’clock sharp to read to Young Sam, who was one year old.
Six o’clock, no matter what…
or who…
or why…
because some things are important.”

Sunak: "it's not over until it's over" - which England certainly proved this evening...

Don’t give the corrupt Tories any extra time.

Kick them out on 4 July.

SkyNews: Gambling Commission has sent info on 5 more Met Police officers to the force over the election betting scandal. The officers are based on the Royalty & Specialist Command, the Parliamentary & Diplomatic Protection Command & the Central West Basic Command Unit. Sunak - leaky as a sieve.

The Guardian are reporting: ‘The secrecy surrounding the [gambling] investigations means voters may not know if their candidate is subject to an inquiry before the polls open on 4 July’. Then we will just have to assume they all are.

No sitting PM has ever lost in seat in a UK election.

Sunak is going for another first and Labour's Tom Wilson is trying to make history happen in Richmond & Northallerton.

Something I as a tech services librarian recommend: As soon as you hear about a forthcoming book you’d like to borrow, go to your library’s catalog and try to place a hold. There’s a good chance a record is already there. Strong demand stats help us plan—and look good to trustees & administrators. 📚
