Tory on #PoliticsLive criticism of the social media ban is that Starmer didn’t do it sooner. While conveniently overlooking the fact the Tories didn’t do it in the 14yrs they were in Govt.

#Newsnight leading with presenter Matt Chorley reading out a series of texts he says he’s received from unnamed sources within Labour really isn’t journalism. It’s tittle tattle.

This morning Amol Rajan has found it impossible to hide his admiration for first, Elon Musk and now Steve Hilton. The sooner he’s off to a commercial station and away from the ‘impartial’ BBC the better. #r4today @BBCr4today

The numbers of rioters in Belfast is in the hundreds, in Southampton last week they were in their dozens. The media needs to stop hyping this as if it is some mass civil unrest. #Newsnight

Bloke in the vox pop on changing Starmer for Burnham. ‘It’s like changing pants you’ve weed in for pants you’ve pooed in’. I think he was telling us more about himself than he intended. #C4News

Who wants to start a sweepstake on which date we see a press conference where Nigel Farage welcomes Nick Timothy on stage to announce his defection to Reform? #politicslive

Not wanting to be outflanked on the racist far right by the likes of Reform, Elon Musk or Yaxley-Lennon, Kemi Badenoch sends out Nick Timothy to represent the Tories. #politicslive

If there are 2 people the BBC has almost single-handedly turned into well known public figures it’s the unelected Zia Yusuf & the previously unknown local councillor Laila Cunningham. #Newsnight

I would say Jacob Rees-Mogg is a definite to join Reform. But I think he might be too toxic even for Farage #bbclaurak

You could ask David Lammy if he fancied a cuppa, listen to him as he spent 10mins answering the question and still be none the wiser whether to put the kettle on. #r4today

Dear diary switched on #PoliticsLive to find everyone is still pretending Lord John Mann is independent and the deeply dodgy Lord Bethell is still being treated like some sort of elder statesman. Switched off and went to clean my oven.

You know when people say Labour are bad with comms? Well in things you couldn’t make up here’s Lucy Powell complaining about ‘costly, unnecessary by-elections’. #politicslive
Not another one… Despite voters going to the polls just weeks ago, a number of Green councillors across London have already stood down - meaning costly, unnecessary by-elections. Tonight I’ve been with @ClaphamParkLab candidate Louie Somerville Sutherland and team speaking to residents about how committed he is to the area for a by-election on 9th July.

Last week a judge referred Nigel Farage to the attorney general for possible contempt of court. Yesterday Farage incited violence today he is justifying that violence. This is Trump style right wing populism & straight out of the Steve Bannon playbook. #C4News

Laila Cunningham was an unknown local councillor until she defected to Reform. She then became a regular on BBC political programmes. Now it’s announced She’s to be Reform London mayoral candidate. It’s as if @BBCPolitics worked with Reform to raise her public profile. #bbcpm

#bbcpm your report about what happened in Southampton last night failed to mention Stephen Yaxley-Lennon & his supporters traveled there and Yaxley-Lennon gave a speech whipping up tension. Do you not think this might have been relevant to the violence that followed? @BBCPM

Reform has been losing support to Rupert Lowe’s mob recently. Nigel Farage trying to justify the violence in Southampton last night is an attempt to win back that support. The fight for the far right vote is going to take place in the gutter of politics. #PMQs #politicslive

Are the Farage riots to become an annual event? Reforms version of The Purge. #FarageRiots #PoliticsLive

Zia Yusuf has been all over the media today. He isn’t a politician, he has never stood for let a lone won an election yet he’s never off our TV screens. It’s time for him to put up or shut up and stand as an MP. #C4News

How Reform manipulate the media and how the media allow them to do so… Questions over Farage crypto millions & Tice tax affairs they hide & the media cycle moves on. The terrible murder of a young man they’re invited on to every news programme to spread their hatred. #C4News

The political cynicism of Reform, and how the media allow them to get away with it. They go into hiding when they face questions on who finances Nigel Farage then emerge to exploit the terrible murder of a young man. Farage, Yusuf & Goodwin all on the BBC today. #bbcpm
