Glorious rugby by the red roses. Even better to have my two favourite ladies with me to watch it. Daughter was fascinated and won't stop talking about the fancy cup and special necklaces. Gotta love it. #RugbyWorldCup#redroses
Today America completes voting
More than half of those registered have already cast their votes.
Women are turning out to vote Harris in their tens of millions because their freedoms are their most important issue.
HARRIS WILL WIN
Trump might well be in jail by Xmas 👍🏼
Interested in this from a negative partisanship perspective (yes been following the US election a lot since July, sue me). OK, on the surface it's nervy for labour. But can reform MPs and councillors survive contact with actual politics and scrutiny?
Lab+Green 48%
Reform+Con 49%
In our new fragmented politics it is the spilt and the squeeze that may determine many outcomes. Lab lose here because of a more even split with Greens. Reform gain a seat because Cons out of the running are willing to back them. Expect more of this.
@cleeve_matt @jdpoc Not sure the plan was to antagonise, it's just a bit sweeter when it does because they're utter bellends. Approval of a budget has always seemed like a strange goal to aim for, they were never really going to achieve that in this political climate.
With the US election appearing to be driven by high female turnout I'd love to see the demographics broken down for this one. It's felt like liberal democracy has been on the ropes for a long time and seems that it's mostly angry men embracing autocratic tendencies.
Moldovan President Maia Sandu has won the 2nd and final round of the presidential elections. She is leading by almost 7 percentage points with 96.9% of all counted votes and cannot be overtaken by her opponent, even when he gets all remaining votes.
The Russian influence and infiltration campaign didn't pay of. Moldovans have chosen that path to the West and the EU.
Congratulations, Maia Sandu.

@BpdLion There's more of us than most people think. It's just the dickheads are louder and their actions have deeper consequences. Unfortunately a lot aren't willing to speak out in general due to peer pressure and so young lads think it's the norm.
Wait. These tech bros who probably spent their youth plotting revenge against everyone else and who now have the world at their feet are terrified to lose it all? What's that you say? There's an alternative choice to processing the bullying and hatred than revenge...?
“Jeff Bezos, one of the world’s richest men, fears that one of his hundreds of companies might suffer financially under a Trump presidency unless he grovels before Trump. That’s all it takes to break Bezos: fear of losing a small slice of his obscene fortune.
What a small and pathetic man!” — @rbhubbell (10/26/24)
