Is this what you want to see at 10pm tomorrow? Change will only happen if you vote for it.

EXCLUSIVE: We’ve gone undercover inside Nigel Farage’s Reform UK campaign in Clacton and found evidence of anti-migrant rhetoric, homophobia and one canvasser making racist and offensive remarks. As @DarshnaSoni reports.

Really weak from Sunak
This is an entirely accurate description of Sunak's speech about his intentions in government delivered at 11.30 this morning. Turns out the speech had absolutely nothing to do with his actual intentions in government. What a time to be alive.

'After a bizarre period of politics, it does look as if a grown-up is back in the building.' James O'Brien delivers his immediate reaction to Rishi Sunak's first speech as PM. @mrjamesob

Labour should be tabling UQ on reappointment of Braverman @labourwhips

If Simon Case has any integrity he’ll now resign.
The cabinet secretary Simon Case must be doing his nut about this. “Absolutely disgraceful” is one of the politer messages I’ve had from senior Tories

Suella Braverman did not mistakenly leak a meaningless document. She endlessly consulted a maverick. She deliberately emailed a policy doc not yet agreed to her pvt email. Then she sent it to John Hayes and someone she thought was his wife. Then lied to PM about when it was sent

Congratulations, Rishi Sunak, on becoming Prime Minister and making history as the first British Asian PM. The Tories have crashed the economy, with low wages, high prices and a cost of living crisis. The public needs a fresh start and a say on Britain’s future.
Just look down the camera.
Ridiculous country. Minimum of £10k on a couple of lecturns that got used, what, twice?

Will this be the last we see of the ‘Jenga’ lectern? It had a sad, short life if so. Originally it was to be crafted from trees representing each part of the United Kingdom but that was deemed too expensive 🌳 But Tory sources say “low 5 figure sum” was still spent on a pair !

PMQs are going to be so much fun - they'll both be getting their spreadsheets out and going through line by line

Here’s Johnson MP Chris Heaton Harris in their campaign WhatsApp group claiming they’ve now verified 100 MP nominations and completed paperwork to get on the ballot… we’ll find out tomorrow

A not unlikely scenario is Johnson gets 100 just. Mordaunt drops out. Most of her MPs go to Sunak giving him close to roughly twice as many as Johnson in final indicative vote of MPs. If Johnson then wins among members with big maj of MPs not wanting him...it is utter chaos.

Non-Boris backing Tory MP crunches the numbers and tells me they still think he will cross the line, despite flagging momentum. "Rishi needs 260 to stop a challenge. He isn’t on those kind of numbers," MP says

The person who was in touch reliable on this stuff (never let me down), says Johnson will get to 100 - (so not there yet). Sunak - they think - will land at 170-180.

I think most likely outcome now is Johnson scapes onto membership ballot, becomes PM, loses a confidence motion in fairly short order, GE early next year, Labour take office.

A general election is not “Westminster bubble”. It’s the complete opposite.
