So hear me out - Clacton by-election should be Nigel Farage, Prince Harry, and Andy Burnham. Let the country decide…

I've just been to cast my vote in the general election. Thank you to all of the council staff who have worked hard, and will be at polling places until 10pm, to make democracy happen. Don't forget your valid ID! #Ihavevoted

Noticed a small quirk while tidying up our PPC database today. All of the Reform UK candidates so far use a middle name on their website, @democlub page etc. Most other candidates are just first and last.

Noting that much of the speculation about a #generalelection announcement today hinges on the Foreign Secretary cutting short a trip abroad. Why would a minister need to be present for an announcement to be made? Genuine question.

I appreciate @PrivateEyeNews journalism but surely they know that @ForeignSecUK alongside other peers, and the criminally insane, aren't able to vote in a general election?

Joanna’s experience, most recently as a Commissioner at Liverpool City Council, will be invaluable for the sector. I’m looking forward to working with her! – at Camden Town, London

Thank you @LGcomms for inviting me to speak on a panel at #CommsAcad23 about the importance of public affairs to local government. We discussed capacity building, coalitions, partnership working, feeding your MPs (information), and the general election. – at Sheffield, England

Whilst prorogation of this parliament hasn't yet been announced, today's Business Statement hints heavily to parliament rising at the end of 26 October with debates only scheduled to this date. This is the earliest date it could be from the King's Order in Council last week.

I'd love to know which ticket agency Just Stop Oil use? I failed to get anything for the Chelsea Flower Show or Wimbledon this year...

The Home Secretary was driving themself? It's one of the most protected roles in government, so there will have been protection officers in the car. Is the protocol that they let the driver, who isn't usually given much defensive driving training, speed if they choose? – at London, England
