Spencer’s victory speech an object lesson in grace while Reform’s man rages.
Matt Goodwin claimed cheating in Gorton and Denton, Angeliki Stogia fled, Keir was tin-eared and Kemi brought the comedy.

"What Gorton and Denton really needed was a local man, said Lee. ... Sadly, though, Reform didn’t have any local people who were suitable. So this part of Greater Manchester was going to have to do with someone who had lived there a while ago. Someone who had left his job at the University of Kent and retreated to London to be a media gobshite for GB News. Step forward, Matt Goodwin."

Reform’s Matt Goodwin is sure he’s the right man for Gorton and Denton. He just doesn’t know why…

That noise? The sound of the barrel getting scraped. Only last summer, Reform insiders were briefing the rightwing media that the party would never welcome Suella Braverman into its ranks. Too much baggage. Too out of control

Along comes Trump and our emperors have no clothes
There’s no shame in not knowing what he’ll say next: neither does he. But that didn’t stop many claiming to make sense of it.

"RishGPT veers between dull and delusional in Tory conference speech"
"He just sounds awkward. Detached. Words tumble out in more or less the right order but they are drained of emotional intelligence. He’s bet the house on himself and he can’t even connect with himself. He merely sounds patronising. Condescending. Listening to him speak is an ordeal."
It did, however, make Gillian Keegan very moist.
