WSJ tweeted this to its 20 million followers and it has under 400 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “Elon Musk has secretly been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022”

I want to thank #TopTierStarmer for the excellent way in which he is handling the far right riots in the UK. Retweet to annoy the fascist thugs

@ayeshahazarika I'm so old that Grace Jones was at peak fame while I was a student. Despite, maybe because of, my punkish tastes, I was bewitched!

Nailed it! Pass it on! ⤵️

@CCfunkandsoul @krishgm Craig, back off on this one. Don't be a smeghead. There are enough villains out there to take a pop at, without picking on one of the good guys.

[Graham Capper @Capperisms]

@TimmyMallett Recognize that view!

[Graham Capper @Capperisms]

@paulwaugh Great work Paul, and well deserved. A proper Rochdalian to represent Rochdale!

[Graham Capper @Capperisms]

@MelanieJackz @RichG3230 @Dan28288176 @Bondsandstirs @AlanKelloggs No. They have promised nothing of the sort. And their tax and spend plans would make Liz Truss look like a genius.
Good that you want to find out more, but you might read the views of independent commentators (eg the IFS) on here, to check if you've been sold a pack of lies.

@AndyFitchet Andy, I'm sorry that we didn't quite get you there. You have taken bucket loads of votes from the Tories with a positive campaign. I still think you'll make a great MP, when the next opportunity comes.

[Graham Capper @Capperisms]

@ayeshahazarika @JPonpolitics @TimesRadio @theipaper Matchsticks at the ready! I'm sure the excitement at the impending outcome will carry you through.
Good luck!

[Graham Capper @Capperisms]

@paulwaugh Good luck Paul.

[Andy Fitchet @AndyFitchet]

I am standing to become our MP because I know the difference a Labour government makes to the poorest and the life chances of the next generation.

We need change and I hope on Thursday you’ll vote for me to be able to bring that change here in North West Hampshire.

[Graham Capper @Capperisms]

@MabelYorkshire @Chris_fromleeds @ZoeJardiniere Yes, without immigration, there wouldnt be enough doctors, nurses or careworkers for the NHS.

[Andy Fitchet @AndyFitchet]

So pleased to be endorsed by @BestForBritain in this election. They see the polling and how our local campaign is gaining such momentum.

Now is the time for change in NW Hampshire. We can do it, but I need every vote to make it possible.

[Graham Capper @Capperisms]

@JustStop_Oil I am sympathetic to your cause. However, your means are abhorrent, and cost you the chance of persuading fairminded people.

[Graham Capper @Capperisms]

@etymologic @Samfr Except that "Reform" are making no promises at all, as NF made clear at press event this a.m. He just lists grievances, and ideas which he thinks popular but would bankrupt the country if implemented. He might as well promise to give everyone free daily chocolate bars and beer.

[Andy Fitchet @AndyFitchet]

It is time for change. Change across the country and change across North West Hampshire.

[Andy Fitchet @AndyFitchet]

In North West Hampshire it is predicted to be so close between me and the Tories.

For the first time in history, we can have a truly local, committed, active Labour MP. Let’s do this!

[Graham Capper @Capperisms]

@jburnmurdoch Wow, that's a time!

[Graham Capper @Capperisms]

@footballtweet @MTLawrenson I'm sorry you are undoing the respect I have had for you. When you started as a pundit, you were a refreshing change from the old boys at the time.
It isn't a woke conspiracy! Just the turn of a new generation to do it their way.
Us over 60s are the new old boys!
