It's cute that everybody's leaving (what was once) Twitter *after* the US election.

Anyway, better late than never: https://t.co/KWBNAgxelA

I don't think I ever dreamed that my 'Godzilla: Lizard Poet' pieces would be published by a bona fide poetry press...

And yet - two of them are in this anthology from the stellar @brokensleep, out this month.

All I can say is, grawwrr! Rarrgh! Gr-arrgh!

[Wes Viola @WesViola]

*Very* pleased to have two poems in this anthology - look how good it looks!

[Broken Sleep Books @brokensleep]

PREORDER (31.10.2024):

@EmmaRaducanu *Huge* honour (...for a young princess, to meet someone who got to where they are by dint of hard work, passion and talent...)

@LabourBerry @cr_short @lmharpin @ShamaTatler @MPIainDS @faizashaheen That's completely wrong. She was the existing local candidate and she was deselected by the national Labour Party - she was campaigning hard for Labour in the hours before the news of her deselection broke. She didn't 'choose' any such thing.

@kajkejti @HYFPRW I'm sure it's scant consolation, but by and large we also hate ourselves for this.

@Kris_Sangani @StuartRance @ShamaTatler @MPIainDS What numbers are you seeing?

[Wes Viola @WesViola]

@PollingReportUK @ShamaTatler @MPIainDS This is really inexcusable. I know it's hard for polling sites to take account of independent candidates and local issues, but at this stage showing Faiza Shaheen as a no hoper in Chingford is serious misinformation; and since this is not the first time, it begins to look wilful.

@AnnieJo80051383 @JoBirdJoBird Why is the data on this page different from what you have?

@charliemansell @PolitlcsUK @RachaelBurford Sounds like he was hedging his bets to me

@paanfo @GreenKail1 @ElectionMapsUK @IpsosUK @TheGreenParty Waveney has Reform and the Conservatives fighting for a close second place, behind the Greens on 33%! Long live first past the post (!)

@QuidVeritas @faizashaheen @LucyCenn It's not. Have a read.

@RishiSunak Spare a thought today for all the families separated from fathers by this government's cruel family visa regime.

@BillyBoyRN I think you have some pretty strange and prejudiced ideas about muslims.

@Sebon521 @Dreich25197318 This is my question too!

[Wes Viola @WesViola]

@Dreich25197318 Thanks Jack. I'll be sending something. I've been in several of your anthologies but I don't think ever in Dreich 'proper' so I'll try and take this last chance!

Congrats on reaching 100 issues; a fantastic achievement.

@Philofphil @CWP_Weir The asteroid gif was a different polling company.

[Wes Viola @WesViola]

@OwenJones84 We can only hope. I suspect though that Labour will try to use the spectre of Reform as justification for maintaining the status quo and excluding the 'fringes'
