21 favourite reactions to the Reform MPs entering the House of Commons
Parliament reopened today after the general election, with a very different mix of parties, following Labour’s landslide, the collapse of the Tories and the SNP, and the rise of smaller parties – including the Liberal Democrats who are now the third largest cohort in the House.
Surreal to be surrounded by 410 other Labour MPs in Parliament today… The Government benches in the House of Commons are going to be very crowded!

4 Green MPs arriving at Parliament, what a historic moment
Our incredible wins & record vote share have shown the popularity of Green politics, but there's more…
Over 3000 people have joined the Green Party since the General Election. Join themhttps://t.co/mu4tFokQx6 pic.twitter.com/AX59SPvM0R

We need to take a moment to recognise and celebrate the one and only @HackneyAbbott.

Of course, with five MPs, Reform UK also wanted to share their historic moment with the world.
Not everyone had the same rosy view of their presence.

I don't make a habit of QTing Reform MPs but this has proper Bachelors On Parade energy…all heading down Yates Wine Lodge to talk to girls and firing each other up by yelling "WHO LET THE DOGS OUT!?" before the cab arrives. Burtons Menswear shirts a-plenty. https://t.co/qFgpci7kER

Whatever we said, whatever we did we didn't mean it,
Lee wants his country back for good
Whenever we're wrong, we pretend to be strong and just wing it
We are far right, misunderstood. https://t.co/E6hQxByuH4— Psinha (@paulybengali) July 9, 2024

A good analogy. Don’t imagine that any Reform MP is in the Commons to do good … pic.twitter.com/vzsuaXszeg

We will fight your poisonous prejudices, your phoney promises & your endless quest for division. You win elections by using lies to fuel fears. We’ll beat you by honest debate based on facts – appealing to the inherent decency of the British people – all the stuff you hate. https://t.co/1Dlp1iwv1O

You stand there throbbing behind ornate stone.
You are polished by young servants.
They buff up your faces & conkers with marrowfat & Putin.
Your tinnitus gives us succour
You smile
You pump
You leak
Welcome!

I think you’ll find that Starmer and his team are no ‘hens’, Lee. And the great thing about our democracy is that intimidation doesn’t work.

so far Reform have compared themselves to
(a) Reservoir Dogs (they all kill each other)
(b) fox in hen house (kill a few birds, get shot by farmer, farmer buys new birds, puts up better fence)
