@viclanger My children seem to understand the assignment and have nobly taken it upon themselves to alternate waking every 45 mins, giving me the perfect chance to check in, doomscrolling, resettle them… and repeat.

Is there anything more disheartening than reading tweets from people who feel the need to defend Andrew Tate in the face of 35+ criminal allegations?

[Ali Walker Davies @aliwalker84]

So much hope ❤️

@chriskeating True - it’s more like Gail’s took a look at Lib Dem’s list and realised it’s oversight. (Much to the consternation of those independent loving Lewesians I imagine…)

[Ali Walker Davies @aliwalker84]

Lewes got a Gail’s about 3 months before it got a Lib Dem MP. This tracks.

The Tories said the SEND system is “lose, lose, lose”.

I agree.

The difference is I’m gripping the issue. We have already restructured the Department to focus on improving inclusion in mainstream schools for children with SEND.

A long way to go, but an important start.

Anyone else endlessly replaying election night podcasts like your favourite new cassette circa 1994?!

Bravermans leadership bid is starting here then.

Rwanda scheme: gone
Threat to Human Rights Act: gone
Threat to ECHR: gone

For now!

Andrea Leadsom: “perhaps the conservatives haven’t been conservative enough” is a terrifying hot take.

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

First, we've no idea if that Reform number is right. Second, come on people what's the matter with you. After 14 years of the most egregious reactionary horror, we're about to get one of the most progressive parliaments in history.

[jonn elledge is mainly on bluesky @JonnElledge]

turns out there is literally no quantity of data or longevity of poll lead that will not convince me, in the hours before the exit poll, that Labour has somehow conspired to lose

[Ali Walker Davies @aliwalker84]

Feeling deep Brexit-vote-PTSD like anxiety right now.

[Edwin Hayward @edwinhayward]

This is not the election for protest votes.

For the first time, we could demote the Tories to third. Winning fewer seats than the LibDems would wipe them out as a political force.

Polls suggest this is within reach, but we need tactical voting to get us over the line.

1/12

Hope is a dangerous thing. 🤞

🚨 Kemi Badenoch in danger of losing seat

🗞️ Yesterday's Sunday Times confirmed recent polls showing North West Essex now balances on a pinhead - only 1% between @issy4nwessex and the Tories.

3⃣ more sleeps until we VOTE for change 💪

@pauldegregorio Amazing! My first ever gig was Levellers at Oxford Apollo theatre (incongruous venue) when I was 13.

[Stephen Fisher @SeaSpitfires]

I’m not interested in the politics of the incident, but I’m faintly amused by the outcry as if this sort of protest-vandalism has never happened at Stonehenge before. It has, more often than you might think.

[Ali Walker Davies @aliwalker84]

@wrklsshrd Ergh. I hate it when you're all smart and doomy and right, Sam.

[Jess Phillips @jessphillips]

Today I have written to the Prime Minister about the conduct of one of his members of parliament, ex-PM Liz Truss.
