As election vandalism shenanigans ramp up to dizzying heights, counter-operations are underway. Over in Cheltenham an Alex Chalk loyalist assumed a stationary recon position at the London Road/Cirencester Road junction to guard a well-lit election banner. Soon enough, a young rapscallion crept over and meticulously ripped it down. Sensing danger as the watchman’s camera focussed in on him, the vandal raced off…

The cameraman gave chase, but not for long – the ne’er-do-well got away. Cheltenham is a tough battle for the Justice Secretary against ascendant LibDems, who are projected to win. Close election contests aren’t meant to descend to the vigilante level…
Ofcom-Watch, the new campaign against Ofcom, has instructed a senior barrister to lead an independent inquiry into the alleged “election interference” by Channel 4 and their undercover report of the Reform campaign. Co-conspirators will remember the report, which showed the campaigner Andrew Parker making some unsavoury comments…
It was then revealed that Andrew Parker is also an actor by profession, and now a “thorough and forensic investigation” into whether or not he was paid to make these remarks has been launched. The undercover report was produced in association with a company called Lee Sorrell Media, in what Ofcom-Watch claim was “an attempt to thwart any retrospective audit trails linked to the actor”. Now Ofcom-Watch want to know the communications that took place between Channel 4, Sorrell and Andrew Parker. If the inquiry finds anything untoward, the channel could be in big trouble…
In the last day of campaigning Guido has been looking back at the personalities of the campaign. Who have the parties trusted to go on the ever-important morning round, and who have they kept well away?
It’s been joked for some time that Mel Stride has a sleeping bag set up over in the Today Programme’s studio. He is by far the most rolled-out Tory with a whopping seven appearances over the thirty weekday morning rounds. Only three others were trusted to do more than one round. Almost a quarter of all of them were performed by Stride…

Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting reigned supreme over his Labour colleagues with six total morning round appearances. Coming second was frequent face National Campaign Co-ordinator Pat McFadden. Both parties fielded only a single woman for more than one morning round. Deputy Leader Angela Rayner had only one lonely outing…

Labour went for four double morning rounds, in which two shadow ministers appeared on multiple broadcasters. The Tories only had one, in the last days of the campaign. Keeping exposure minimal…
Commiserations to the frontbenchers who were kept off our morning airwaves throughout. Some of Labour’s high-profile no-shows include:
The Tories shoved out a larger proportion of its frontbench at least once. The cabinet ministers who didn’t make it include:
These results indicate those who the party trusts to stick to their lines and not cause any major drama. Like when David Lammy said men could grow a cervix…
Laurence Fox has written to his Reclaim Party supporters urging them to vote Reform. Fox founded the Reclaim Party in 2020, the main pledges including leaving the ECHR, repealing the Human Rights Act, and reforming the Equality Act. Last month, Tory MPs Andrea Jenkyns, Brendan Clarke-Smith, Karl McCartney and Marco Longhi, promised to uphold Reclaim’s “four commitments to culture”. Now Fox has declared his support for Farage tomorrow:
“I was keen to write to you and say that I believe Reclaim’s interests are being unequivocally furthered by Nigel in this election. As a result, I am delighted to tell you I am an enthusiastic voter for Reform on Thursday.”
Reformed Reclaimer…

Former leader of the SNP in Westminster Ian Blackford told Times Radio why he believes Nicola Sturgeon’s claim that she spent no time in the kitchen and therefore didn’t see any of her husband’s purchases:
“She doesn’t have a passion for cooking.”
