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.

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

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

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.

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.

As I said just now on @itv, deep concern that rapid electronic voting by Tory members for new leader brings risk of overseas bad actor, like Russia, hacking the poll and choosing Britain’s new prime minister

Tonight we are all Charles Walker
“All those people that put Liz Truss in No 10, I hope it was worth it” Conservative MP Charles Walker describes chaos around Commons vote on banning fracking as a "shambles and a disgrace" bbc.in/3TygleC

Ditto.
As the former Energy Minister who signed Net Zero into law, for the sake of our environment and climate, I cannot personally vote tonight to support fracking and undermine the pledges I made at the 2019 General Election. I am prepared to face the consequences of my decision.

I might finally be running out of superlatives. This is the most jaw-dropping set off figures, not limited to just voting intention, that I have ever seen. You're not going to want to miss this one.
Last week, Labour was 29% ahead of the Conservatives—the largest lead for Labour we’ve ever recorded. Today at 5pm we’ll release our latest Voting Intention poll. With Jeremy Hunt now Chancellor, will that lead have increased or decreased? Follow us @redfieldwilton to find out

Major Krivolapov, pilot of downed Su-24 bomber over Chernigiv that was bombing civilians and killing at least 30 children and women. During Syria campaign, he also was bombing kids and women, and got promoted for this. He got what he deserved. Well done Ukrainian army 👏

Жирненький, которого живым взяли, тоже успел порезвиться на Сирийщине. Вот он рядом с #Асад'ом (via @BarbarosToprak2) #всрф #RussianUkrainianWar
