@darrenpjones an authentic response to terrible events involving young people with @bbclaurak today.

Good on you.

It showed me that you are a politician doing your work for all the right reasons - wanting to prevent events like this and make our society better.

And now the Sunday Times reporting he was briefed on previous links but still appointed …if true, questions over PMs judgement will persist and it becomes less likely he’ll lead Labour in next election. PM / Labour need to get a grip quickly.

[Dan Howells💙💛 @DMHowells]

I have to say: Good. The PMs most significant impact could well be re-enforcing standards and expectations of those in public life.

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK From what I saw in reports, Trump’s recent congressional address lasted 99 minutes. Is it concerning (or perhaps telling) that the words ‘democracy’ or ‘constitution’ were not used by him once?

@ZelenskyyUa @Keir_Starmer We are with you 🇬🇧🇺🇦

[Dan Howells💙💛 @DMHowells]

Absolutely!

This is no way to treat the leader of a country being pummelled by Russia. It’s quite upsetting. Trump and Vance gang up on Zelensky. No way for leaders to behave. Trying to intimidate Zelensky. Vance attacks Z then accuses him of disrespect because he answers back.

[Dan Howells💙💛 @DMHowells]

Horrible to see a man who chose to stay in his country to fight a bully and for the freedom of his country be treated with such utter disrespect by two men whose lives are gilded in privilege. Shame on them.

[Dan Howells💙💛 @DMHowells]

Well done @SophyRidgeSky

In journalism it's important to reflect both sides of an argument, to listen, to try and understand nuance and different perspectives, to be aware of your own bias. 
But sometimes it's also important to state facts, and to call out facts that are not true

[Armando Iannucci @Aiannucci]

@piersmorgan If it helps, the answer is: no.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Not long after I posted this Trump went bonkers on Zelensky. It is very worrying.
Every claim he makes — from America giving a lot more than Europe to Ukraine, Zelensky support’s being down to 4% and Zelensky being a dictator because he’s not called elections (neither did Churchill when we fought for our freedom) — is demonstrably untrue.
More worrying than that every one is a Kremlin talking point/piece of Putin propaganda.
Why does Trump slag off Zelensky yet never have a harsh word to say about Putin.
Bizarre and distressing.

Great night so far in Birmingham @TheNewsAgents …couldn’t resist the pose 🤷‍♂️

[Dan Howells💙💛 @DMHowells]

Thank you @uniofwarwick and @WarwickBSchool - a brilliant few years. Challenging, engaging, learnt a great deal and loved every minute. 👊

[Dan Howells💙💛 @DMHowells]

Ok. I say this an an observer from afar @joerogan, but 3 hours of chat and Jan 6th doesn’t come up once?

Really?

[Dan Howells💙💛 @DMHowells]

What a bizarre interview contribution this is @DouglasKMurray - calling for a calmer rhetoric and politics from Democrats to seconds later refuting Kamala Harris’ premise that the situation in Israel/Palestine is complicated and not binary.

Odd.

Yes 🙌 @NickKyrgios 👌👊…love it!

Get in @LewisHamilton 👊🙌🎉

[Dan Howells💙💛 @DMHowells]

Values, policies, manifesto commitments - all at play - but I confess I am slightly relieved on seeing these exit polls based on front bench + wider political talent. Labour has bags of it going into government (and they’ll need it) while the Tories have been lacking for a while.

[Dan Howells💙💛 @DMHowells]

@RoryStewartUK @YouTube @campbellclaret @RestIsPolitics A better format led to greater accountability on the government’s 14 year record. Consequently a tough night for the PM.

[Dan Howells💙💛 @DMHowells]

Much better format from @SkyNews to hold both leaders to account on both track records and plans. My sense is increased accountability has put the last 14 years in a stark light. This record is not a good one. A good night for Starmer / Labour - but many still need convincing.
