- Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around. They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway. It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

- There are a lot of bad takes from the election results. Pushing to go further right is one of them. If some ppl want far right, why would they vote Labour? It’s not who we are and we shouldn’t try to be. We can be the hope over the fear. Bold, optimistic ideas don’t belong to the far right /1

- Farage's numbers look false, skewed or spun Of the 16% (10.6m) people born abroad, 6/10 had arrived before 2011 [so he can't claim 7m new registrations since 2015] - about 4/10 of those born abroad are UK citizens + non-citizens on visas pay £1035/year NHS surcharge. NHS net gain on £ now
