@PennyMordaunt Those using this to score political points rather miss the point. Opposition MPs often work together more often than we, the public, see. There are many cross-party working groups, or select committees where opposing MPs will work together. It's not all "Sharks vs. Jets."

@JayneOzanne I can't agree with this take. Liverpool couldn't have done more for the LGBTQ+ demo & BBC had LGBTQ+ people & characters front & centre of both the production itself + the reams of associated programming. Also: explain last year. It was a poor live vocal. Don't overthink it.

@dadimakesmusic @Eurovision 100%. It's just allowed it to turn into the Eurovision Dance Contest & frankly the pre-rec BV's are starting to do more heavy lifting than they should do. I would also ban wing-singing, which I'm very against in musical theatre as well. All BV's should be in-vision in some way.

@IrvineWelsh I can admit Blair didn't get everything wrong. I think it's healthy Starmer recognises that neither did Thatcher. But if you want the Tories out, you've got to appeal to Tory voters to switch. No point coming on X where y'all gonna vote Labour anyway. It's that simple.

@BBCNewsEnts Also a quick note: in the UK we see Eurovision as a silly programme. However, East of what was the Iron Curtain the show is a major vehicle for soft power. Winning is like us getting the World Cup or Olympics. Nuts as it may sound to Brits, Eurovision matters in this regard.

@Peston I think it was deliberately placed TBH. The way it pushed the narrative that 2019 voters have pivoted to Reform, not LAB, was telling. Then the BBC release a poll suggesting it's a lot closer. They know they're losing vote share to Reform but that also gets LAB over the line.
