I think it's fair to say that's not a great night for Nigel Farage and Reform UK
Betting markets closed with their expected vote share at 73.5% and Count Binface expected to be under 20%
We now give him a 31% chance of being replaced as leader this year, whilst Kemi Badenoch is back into favourite for next Prime Minister

Congratulations to everyone getting their results today 🎉
If you’re heading to university, this should be an exciting time. You should be optimistic about your future, not worrying about student loan repayments following you for decades.
Conservatives want young people who work hard for a better life to keep more of what they earn.
That’s why we’re starting by scrapping the unfair interest on Plan 2 student loans 👇

The Conservatives will not be standing a candidate in this fake by-election.

A Real Bleak House?
We met the Mayor of Broadstairs, Cllr Rusiecki, at Bleak House — where Charles Dickens wrote Bleak House, the novel about a will whose beneficiaries received nothing.
We discussed the 1642 Henry Robinson Trust.
Sometimes history doesn't stay in the past.

Congratulations to Douglas Lumsden for winning the Aberdeen South Westminster by-election.
This was an endorsement of @KemiBadenoch’s no nonsense approach and condemnation of Miliband’s energy policy that is costing both the country and households so much money.

This is illuminating.
“..oversaw..” that is an interesting choice of word.
Because as Suella knows I did not draft that bill. I did not see it prior to its introduction. I was, as she knows, only asked to take it through the Commons hours before it was heard. Nor was I given any authority to alter it- but I did make asks to do so to the Cabinet Office- to change the gender-neutral language wording to female wording.
All this is a matter of record. As are the names of those that drafted it. As are the members of the PLB Committee which would have cleared it, a Committee which included Suella as the Attorney General. Given that the Bill was about her maternity leave I assumed she would have taken an interest.
Perhaps I was wrong to make such assumptions. And to take her thanks and delight at it being introduced that she expressed to me at the time- in writing- as her genuine feelings.
As I say, illuminating.
This is the woman who, as a Tory Minister, declared that ‘Trans women are Women’.
She also oversaw a law (for my maternity leave) that described me as a ‘pregnant person’ so as not to offend trans people. Even after backlash, she would not include the word ‘woman’. We had to settle on ‘mother’.
And she plans to come back and lead the Party.
The Conservative Party should be apologising to the country for its Great Betrayal on DEI.
Never trust them.

Every life matters.
One law. One standard. For everyone.
This is about justice, for Henry, for his family and for all our children. They deserve better.

Henry Robinson from Thanet, Kent left land in trust to fund scholarships - forever. What happened to his promise?

There are moments in politics when the easy thing to do is to look the other way, to close ranks and to put party before principle. That is not why any of us were elected. 1/5
Cllr George Kup retweeted
I would say to colleagues on the Government benches, that this is a moment to think carefully about why we are here. Our responsibility is to the country, not to our own prospects or positions within a party.
At times like this, the national interest must come first. 5/5
