This is quite odd. Wes Streeting is resigning and calling for a leadership contest, without actually triggering one. He seems to hope that the PM will set a timetable for his departure that would allow for a broad contest.

Sir Keir Starmer previously indicated that for there to be a contest someone would need to challenge him for the job with the backing of at least 81 Labour MPs. In those circumstances, the expectation has been that Starmer would be a candidate. Letā€™s see.

Itā€™s a story about me but it could be a story about anyone and itā€™s far more optimistic than you might think.

My dog Ruadhā€™s modelling my referendum day tie. Canā€™t believe itā€™s ten years to the day since I bought it on my way to anchor the #indyref results. An inconsequential choice compared to the big vote I was covering šŸ—³ļø but happily it matched the yes/no colours on the BBC set.

This outcome means the SNP finish on just 9 seats - closer to their worst case than to their best case scenario. It also means that the Lib Dems finish in third place on seats in Scotland - with six MPs - one more than the Conservatives. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv2gā€¦
Recount begins for Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire

Nice to get back to the day job in the final stages of the election with an appearance on Reporting Scotland on Friday. Iā€™ve been popping up on radio and @BBCScotlandNews online too. Nothing like a full return but good to be involved as Iā€™ve not missed an election since 1997.
