I wonder why Wes Streeting would suddenly and unexpectedly want to put the EU back on the news agenda and suggest that Labour would want to bring the UK back into it, just before Andy Burnham is about to take part in a by-election in a constituency that voted 66% to leave. 🤔 -
Don't tell me they've got André Rieu ready.

Has Eurovision started allowing non-live vocals in the performances? Seemed like the UK & Norway had vocals that weren't coming from people on stage.
-
Norway's quite decent in a "rock song written by someone who has been told what rock music is about but has never listened to rock music in his life" kind of way.
-
A better staging than I expected. Still feels like a last place.
-
Australia doing the "putting female on top of big pole" trick again.
-
Good. Delta.

Not a bad song from Austria, superfluous guitarist aside.
-
Czechia wanted to be a moment. It was barely a glimpse.
-
Three songs in and I think this semi-final is better than all of Tuesday's. Romania's a pretty strong entry.
-
The song is called "Choke Me", and the singer has a pet chicken. Hmm.

Let's admit Bulgaria to the EU. 2 minutes research later. Let's admit Bulgaria to the EU again.

Josh Simons, who has definitely resigned because he wants to put country first, and not because he reported unfavourable journalists to intelligence services claiming them to be pro-Putin stooges. Anyway, the constituency in question is Makerfield, which had a 5,399 Labour majority over Reform UK in 2024. It forms part of Wigan council, in the most recent council elections Reform UK won 24 of the 25 seats up for grabs (including two in Ashton-in-Makerfield), so will fancy their chances here, even with Burnham running.
Now to see how long it takes until we see posters with “Wes He Can” in it.
