Ed Byrne I think has produced one of the most legendary lines in the history of Scenes We’d Like to See on Mock The Week.

Can’t stop chuckling like a school kid! 🀣🀣

The real lesson to take from Gorton and Denton is for the future of UK democracy | Institute for Government Westminster is dangerously underprepared for a multi-party future.

πŸ‘€ β€œleadership would mean recognising this byelection as a warning – an urgent signal of the need to prepare UK democracy for a multi-party future”

A VERY GOOD EBENING! πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‚

That was a very solid and fully warranted win by Wolverhampton Wanderers tonight, to make it 7 wins at Molineux against Aston Villa since 2017! 🐺 πŸ‘πŸ½

🌹 @annadixonmp.bsky.social flags some of the major risks First Past the Post now poses for the UK

⚠️ The govt's line that it has "no plans" to address this is not sustainable

🀝 It's welcome that Ministers will meet @appgfairelections.bsky.social to discuss a National Commission on Electoral Reform

ROYAL COMMUNICATIONS

A STATEMENT FROM HIS MAJESTY THE KING
I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.
Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.
As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all.

Huge congratulations to Ed Cox on his appointment as CEO of the West Midlands Combined Authority.

It’s been brilliant to call Ed a colleague in the last near 3 years and his passion and humility will further contribute to our region.

On the basis of what’s already in the bill and the masses of amendments that will be considered, this Representation of the People Bill could turn into one of the most radical and progressive bits of legislation in British history.

@warrenoates1.bsky.social gives good context of what is lined up.

McSweeney going is excellent news. It doesn't fix any problems by itself, but it is the precondition for fixing those problems.

Trying to get Wolves’s massive Pride Flag in the air, was as you can see: a bit of a task… πŸ˜…

Reform by-election candidate suggested people who don’t have kids should pay more tax Exclusive: The Reform politician’s suggestion would β€˜punish millions of women and strip them of their basic dignity to choose’, Labour’s deputy leader warned

Reform’s Matthew Goodwin’s big idea would punish millions of women and strip them of their basic dignity to choose.

Even more dumfounding is that Nigel Farage appears to agree with it.

This is the kind of divisive politics we must stand against.

Turnout yesterday was 36.39%; 2023’s was 32.97%.

Elections do matter folks and it’s thus good to see more being engaged in democracy.

Also a passionate Aston Villa fan, he was immensely proud of a team who are now back in the very elite of English football.

I extend my deep sympathies and condolences to Waseem’s family, friends and his close colleagues and political participation in the West Midlands, has a hole to fill.

I express my sadness in hearing of the passing of Birmingham Labour Councillor for Lozells, Councillor Waseem Zaffar MBE.

Waseem was a Councillor from 2011 and served his city in many ways over a long period of time, both in politics and civil society, recognised through an MBE.
