Good morning
@tom_watson

Your journey from MP who most understood the Cambridge Analytica scandal to paid-up Palantir apologist is really quite the journey.

Hope the 💰💰💰💰is worth it.

Here’s some background reading ahead of your first day 🧵👇

@tom_watson Disgusting.

Five members of Just Stop Oil are currently serving 4+ years in prison for discussing, in a Zoom call, blocking roads.

A Farage reset will mean the clock on his declarations also resets - so if there are other declarable "gifts" he received in the year before the 2024 election that we don't know about he will no longer have to tell anyone. The inquiry into the £5 million - when it resumes - could ask him direct questions about that - but he may or may not answer

@BBCr4today there’s a dedicated sports section and a paper review, why does the football need to take up so much of the programme instead of the flood in Ghana for instance? I know about the football I don’t need to be informed by you on that, I’m sincerely interested in the why

[Spencer Althouse @SpencerAlthouse]

holy crap this is easily the best Tony Award speech of the entire night. hell yes to all of this

"This is dedicated to the beautiful tapestry of immigrant families who make this country really special. May you one day not have to audition for the empathy that should be freely given by this country that benefits from your beauty. To the queer and trans communities that always will exist, no matter what people in power try to take away from them. To the people of Palestine who deserve to live a free life – a full life – without occupation. ... If there's one thing we can learn from vampires, it's that life is short, but that's its gift. Find beauty in the ephemeral and gratitude in what is not promised."

—Ali Louis Bourzgui, winning Featured Actor in a Musical for The Lost Boys

Six years on, sisters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman are in my thoughts. I promised their mum Mina that we will never forget.

We must do more to protect women and girls, to build a society where no family has to endure such a loss or dismissal due to the colour of their skin.

Lady in glasses, "I'd just like to say that if there should be any cold rage that is happening, it should be directed towards the politicians"

Fiona Bruce, "What, all of them?"

Lady in glasses, "No, the ones trying to sow the seeds of division between us"

"Because we're basically being manipulated by billionaires at this point"

"And it shouldn't be like that"

Trump and Netanyahu killed every child in this photo.

If Joe Biden really wanted to shake things up, he could drop a political nuke by resigning on January 5th.
