Scottish Green source said: "Everyone in that chamber is now more concerned with fucking with the SNP than passing good law.

Scenes in the Commons, where Angela Rayner has just called Rishi Sunak a "pint-size loser" #pmqs pic.twitter.com/2ujVX2RvFZ — Alexander Brown (@AlexofBrown) April 24, 2024 I wonder if this attempt to belittle Rishi Sunak will backfire with below average height men. I know Angela Rayner would have been angry if Oliver Dowden had made a crack about her appearance. That said Dowden did come up with a great gag at Rayner’s expense which shows how vulnerable she is. Watch: Dowden takes a shot at Angela Rayner's living arrangements saying it is the fifth time they've faced off at PMQs and "anym ..read more

Biden: "It was a political deal to get rid of Roe, a political deal Trump made with the evangelical base of the Republican Party to look past his moral and character flaws in exchange for his commitment to appoint justices to SCOTUS who would overturn Roe." pic.twitter.com/s9rdQqkjbu — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) April 23, 2024 Biden in Tampa: "States all over this country from Ohio, Kansas, Michigan… women and men in every background voted in record number to protect reproductive freedom.

Start the flights. Stop the boats. That's what this bill delivers. pic.twitter.com/y93Ti3qe2k — Rishi Sunak (@RishiSunak) April 23, 2024 While 69% of 2019 Tory voters support the Rwanda plan, they tend to think it is not good value for money (by 41% to 27%), and that is unlikely migrants will ever be deported to Rwanda (by 49% to 40%) Data: https://t.co/A5i4xZEeeq / https://t.co/FPfISIa4gw /… pic.twitter.com/6p49lyWUv5 — YouGov (@YouGov) April 23, 2024 Exc: Rwanda flights will only carry ‘couple of dozen’ migrants each, Cleverly indicates to colleagues https://t.co/P4Lncz1X6K — Arj S ..read more

Liz Truss has said she has "unfinished business" in politics, but 68% of Britons say they would not like it if she returned to frontline politics – only 9% would be pleased to see her returnhttps://t.co/46bk1DLjgr pic.twitter.com/1SKnm3drne — YouGov (@YouGov) April 22, 2024 This is why Liz Truss remains a great lay in the next Tory leader/PM markets. I suspect those who would like her back is inflated by non Tories who want the Tories destroyed forever and see her return as the best to achieve that. Only somebody with a fetish for sadomasochistic pain, punishment, and humiliation would wan ..read more

How many people go to church weekly? Surveys say it's about 1 in 5 Americans. Cell phone tracker data say it's actually closer to 1 in 20 Americans.

The second of my threads on the forthcoming local elections looks at two southern coastal councils which should be the epitome of rock-solid Conservative territory but this year will be representative of that party’s current electoral strength or frailty. These are among eight District Councils which normally elect by thirds but which, due to boundary changes, are having all-up elections this year. Fareham sits between Southampton and Portsmouth. The local council (which also includes part of the Gosport constituency) has been Conservative controlled since 1999 when the Liberal Democrats were ..read more

Looking at the data tables I'd shade this tied poll slightly blue. Lab support draws a lot from people who didn't vote in 2021, and a Con lead emerges if you restrict it to those certain to vote. Houchen running ahead of the Con brand but still a big swing since 2021. https://t.co/syQpARSuhk — Lewis Baston (@lewis_baston) April 20, 2024 The lack of a candidate from Reform UK could make a difference in a close election.
