A first for YouTubers - and an amazing experience to be part of.

- I'm gonna go with a hard no
- Pretty sure this isn't how it works...๐จ NEW: Nigel Farage has declared he will be the next Prime Minister
- I think, ultimately, these kinds of tweets are why I'm against this account. This obviously is a non story. Anyone can see that. But in order to get attention on here, they're willing to do the whole "๐จ NEW" thing to try and make it one.๐จ NEW: Chancellor Rachel Reeves has charged taxpayers ยฃ371 for subscriptions to The Economist and The Financial Times since March
- What a terrible day to have eyes and ears๐ค Dame Andrea Jenkyns entered the Reform UK conference singing a song that she co-wrote called Insomnia and wearing a sparkly blue jumpsuit. Jenkyns said: โIs this godawful Labour Government giving you sleepless nights and insomnia too?โ
00:00 - How's that "support the abolition of tuition fees" promise going?
๐จ NEW: The Government says tuition fees for undergraduate students will increase in line with forecast inflation for the next two years - A moment you wouldn't see in other countries - the Deputy PM making a heart at Shadow Deputy PM at their final PMQs together.
- just one more lurch to the right bro, that'll fix it, I swearCaerphilly Senedd By-Election Result: ๐ผ PLC: 47.4% (+19.0) โก๏ธ REF: 36.0% (+34.2) ๐น LAB: 11.0% (-34.9) ๐ณ CON: 2.0% (-15.3) ๐ GRN: 1.5% (New) ๐ถ LDM: 1.5% (-1.2) ๐ GWL: 0.3% (New) ๐ท UKIP: 0.2% (New) Plaid Cymru GAIN from Labour.

- In the Daily Briefing today, I wore a pride shirt. These were some of the comments. Frankly, if this is what you think then I have no issue at all with you unfollowing the Daily Briefing or any other TLDR News channel. And I'm sure @tldrjack agrees.
- Replying to @tldrbenIt erodes trust in politicians, and makes people (unfairly) more cynical of politicians. The Chancellor is allowed to (and should) have subscriptions to the Economist and the FT. Their attempts at journalism on this platform is to throw EVERYTHING at the wall to see what sticks.
- So young people have to continue to sacrifice things that bring us joy because of... checks notes... lockdown?! Yes, cancel all the festivals in case someone who decided to live in one of the busiest, noisiest cities in the world hears something for a couple of days a year.
