Zia Yusuf is unelected, no one voted for this man yet here he is on #Newsnight after being on #PoliticsLive earlier today, #bbclaurak yesterday & #bbcqt again recently. I can't think of any other unelected Party 'official' ever to get this much airtime on the BBC.

Unelected Zia Yusuf on #BBCQT recently on #bbclaurak y'day & now on #PoliticsLive Reform local councillor Laila Cunningham on at least 3 BBC shows recently. Speech by Nigel Farage live on BBC tv & radio this morning. Even GBnews would blush at giving Reform this much coverage

Rachel Reeves has no one but herself to blame for all this. If she doesn't want the media investigating her housing arrangements it's obvious what she should have done. Change her name to Nigel Farage. #bbcpm

Good line from Chris Mason on the Tories getting 2% of the vote in the #Caerphilly by-election. 'To put it into context, that's about the same % of people who believe the moon is made of cheese'. #wato

Richard Holden, 'We took time to reflect'. I doubt if he has ever shut up long enough in his life to reflect on anything. #politicslive

Richard Holden needs to cut down on the coffee, or whatever it is that has him so hyped up & agitated. #politicslive

Last #PMQs Badenoch battered Starmer over Peter Mandelson She must have thought she was going to have another *win* today over the China spy case. Instead she looked out of her depth, unable to think on her feet or tailor her questions to answers already given. #politicslive

Kemi Badenoch trying to make a link between the murder of David Amess & the China spy case to attack Starmer is a bit low. #PMQs #politicslive

Highlight of Kemi Badenoch's speech? Must be when she boasted her front bench has 'more wisdom' than the whole of the rest of parliament combined... And then the cameras went to Helen Whately, Chris Philp and Priti Patel. #bbcpm

Bridget Phillipson doing the media round and struggling to explain & defend Keir Starmer's 'un-British' comment. Similar to when he made his 'Island of strangers' speech & Ministers were send out to defend it... Until a week later when he backtracked. #r4today

Nick Ferrari spent years supporting the Tory govt, backed Brexit and told us both Boris Johnson & Liz Truss were going to be great Prime Ministers. So if he now thinks Nigel Farage is the answer to our problems what could possibly go wrong? #politicslive

As with Peter Kyle recently saying Farage is on the side of predators like Jimmy Saville, David Lammy's comments are politically naive and allows Farage, with the help of much of the media, to play the victim card. #PoliticsLive

Mandelson doing that interview in America just hours before #PMQs was a gift to Badenoch. Did he not clear it with No10 or was it approved? Either way it was a f*ck up & Starmer took an absolute battering. #PoliticsLive

In things you couldn't make up... first question at #PMQs is from a Tory MP asking about wrong doing in public office.

EXCL: A trove of leaked data from Boris Johnson’s private office reveals how the former PM has been profiting from contacts and influence he gained in office in a possible breach of ethics and lobbying rules. All the details here 👇🏼 https://t.co/e6NNDaXLHy

Yet another Labour MP accusing Palestine Action of attacking 'Jewish businesses' Well done Ash Sarkar for pushing back against this misleading claim & pointing out the business is Elbit systems an Israeli arms manufacture. It was not targeted because it is 'Jewish' #PoliticsLive

Luke Johnson should be on the radio & TV more often. Listening to bosses like him will have people flocking to join a Union! #r4today

Nadine Dorries spat her dummy out when Boris Johnson didn't give her a peerage & refused to attend work as an MP for a year. Farage might be able to do so after the next election. I wonder if that's what she's been promised for declaring support for Reform? #C4News

As Boris Johnson loses Nadine Dorries to Nigel Farage surely there's only one song to play for him... The Ramones, 'The KKK Took My Baby Away'. #Newsnight

When politics is reduced to journalists asking politicians how many flags they have in their homes as a test of patriotism. I think it's safe to say this country has officially lost the plot. #politicslive
