I read in the year report of the Dutch secret service that last year more than 10 terrorist attacks have been stopped in Europe and that some are a response to the war in Gaza.

"Hey, here is this report I've been writing about what a great job I'm doing.".

Farage announces that he is standing as an MP and will take over Reform from Tice

So it was a massive Labour landslide. Was that expected?

As predictable as the sunrise.

Yep, but what's notable is that Labour Leader Kier Starmer isn't much more popular than outgoing PM Rishi Sunak. In some ways this result echoes 1997 when Tony Blair came in, except this time people aren't really excited about what Labour are bringing in, they just want rid of the Tories.

The Tories and Labour combined got a 60% vote share, that's the lowest they've had for near enough 100 years, but because of the First Past The Post system they still dominate the House of Commons.

Electoral reform will be a huge issue next general election.

Huge losses for SNP in Scotland as well. The real momentum for independence has died out again for now.

Farage manages to become an MP on his I think 8th attempt. His Reform UK party got a pretty big vote share (third highest) , but as I say because of how elections work in the UK they didn't get very many actual seats. As I write this they have 4, making them the 5th biggest party by seats in parliament.

Some high profile tories like Liz Truss (former PM) have lost their seats.

Reform getting 15% of the vote share in a relatively short amount of time should really spook the Tories.

He’s probably already on the plane out. Or is preparing to give a talk at Infosys with his father in law explaining to new grads making poverty wages on why they should work 70 hours a week or will be considered lazy.

Yeah I expect he'll do a Nadine Dorries and be an absentee MP before eventually stepping down

They've just sent him back.

All that trouble last night in Harehills, Leeds, smashing up police cars and setting fire to random vehicles, was sparked by a Romanian (some say Roma) child being taken into care

The productive elements of society are all there on camera, hopefully they all get what they deserve.
