No surprises here - Momentum backs Long-Bailey, seen as the ‘Corbyn continuity candidate’, for next Labour leader #LabourLeadershipElection #Momentum #LabourLeadership #Labour

[Momentum 🌹 @PeoplesMomentum]

We're backing Rebecca Long-Bailey for Labour Party leader.

She's the only candidate that will take on the political establishment and give power back to communities. This powerful speech shows just that.

Fantastic interview with PM Johnson this morning on BBC Breakfast - fire being held to the PM for current issues (Megan Markle, Qassem Soleimani, Brexit). 'Dan, I like your style', Johnson seemed uncomfortable to answer some questions from @mrdanwalker #BBCBreakfast #BorisJohnson

Bent crude price has risen by more than 4% after the news of the US assignation of Qassem Soleimani, leader of Iran's Revolutionary Guards’ Quds force. Retaliation from Iran has been promised #Iran #Soleimani #Iranian #worldwar3

Johnson’s Brexit Bill passes with 124 majority. WITH workers rights protections, protection for refugees etc scrapped. Significant tory majority facilitating whatever Johnson wants #BrexitBill #Brexit #brexitparty

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

Brexit is happening. An historic moment.

[John Roberts @johnrobertsFox]

President Trump is officially impeached. Democrats approve 1st article of impeachment on "abuse of power". 2 Democrats vote no. For a moment, there was 1 Republican yea, but it was reversed.

#BorisJohnsonPM confirms plans to restore bursaries for student nurses, cut under previous #Tory austerity administration. A central measure of the economically softer Tory manifesto being fulfilled #NHS #nurses #nhscuts

YouGov poll finds 76% of Labour members support proportional representation. Germany’s electoral system combines features of Westminster style voting and PR. Best of both? - https://t.co/miCff2xtvT #ProportionalRepresentation #Parliament #FairVotes

The stance of the US administration is becoming increasingly more clear on the case of Hong Kong. First Rubio’s Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act. The anti-Chinese view is coming out of the woodwork #HongKongProtests #HongKongProtesters #HongKongers

[Donald Trump Jr. @DonaldJTrumpJr]

Time leaves out the Hong Kong Protesters fighting for their lives and freedoms to push a teen being used as a marketing gimmick.

How dare you?

[Laura Kuenssberg @bbclaurak]

Final big poll (and take them all with buckets of salt) puts Tory majority within reach for Johnson but far from secure - still worth fighting for Labour + the smaller parties
- still nerve wracking for Tories
- last 36 hours still matters

[Wolff Research @WolffResearch]

All too easy to forget that the #HongKongProstest is still ongoing with no signs of a lax in tensions #HongKongers #HongKongPoliceState

US and Iran successfully carry out prisoner swap. Both sides pleased about the exchange. A potential sign for thawing of US-Iran relations? #IranProtests #US #trump #America

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Taken during the Obama Administration (despite $150 Billion gift), returned during the Trump Administration. Thank you to Iran on a very fair negotiation. See, we can make a deal together!

Senator Warren, once called the race’s underdog, drops in Ipsos poll to just 9% -her lowest showing since August. Although still one of the more popular candidates in the Dem primaries, is this the beginning of the end for #Warren2020? #Democrats #president #Democrats2020

With Saudi Aramco's IPO valuing at $1.7 trillion (the biggest in history), were we right to say "Invest at your own risk"? Decide for yourself: https://t.co/FHvMn8fZUg
