Former Tory chairman Sir Jake Berry reveals he once had a picture of Labour's Angela Rayner pinned up on his wall. "I actually think Angela Rayner is a very, very attractive woman."
🤔Twice today I was congratulated on this unscripted rant against Balls and Osborne, the two architects of the wholly inadequate fiscal conversation Parliament had 2010-15. Most weeks someone raises it. ✊🏻Maybe there’s hope of shifting public opinion…

Someone get the hat back @MrHarryCole
‘Comrades, the hat is back.’ @MrHarryCole has news of another great purge in the Labour ranks executed by ruthless Starmer. Watch the latest episode of #NeverMindTheBallots on YouTube now: youtube.com/watch?v=CX7wRw…
Ed Miliband has apologised to his Tory opponent Claire Coutinho for accusing her of 'going into hiding' during his statement on the climate yesterday, when she was in fact caring for her new baby😬
New stats out today show that of the 1,279,765 non-UK nationals claiming Universal Credit, only 40% are in work. So 757,000 are claiming and not working. And UC is only half of working age welfare spending. This is not a sensible immigration policy.

Ex-Tory MP Nick Fletcher, reportedly approached by Reform, is happy with the Conservative Party, saying Kemi Badenoch is speaking sense. "Disappointed with Reform... we agreed with a lot of their policies, yet they stood against us and left people like Ed Miliband to win seats."
573 migrants arrived yesterday as Starmer and Macron agreed to a "one in, one out" migrant deal @TalkTV
So if Rachel Reeves thought a 0.1% contraction of the economy was grounds for an emergency budget for a Tory Chancellor, presumably we can expect her to bring one to the House on Monday?
Starmer hits out at Farage after his trip out on the Channel this morning. "While we've been working hard to get a returns agreement, others have simply been taking pictures" @TalkTV
