One small frustration about #Wordle is how they occasionally set a word which isn’t in its dictionary form (for example “dwelt”). Out of around 1,400 words so far there have been 50 non-dictionary words. Why? If they’re allowed, why are they so rare?

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

It was great to see folks in Fredericksburg with @AnneHolton and @YVindman who are fired up about voting!

Tomorrow is Election Day—make your plan to vote.

@susie_dent Where did the h in Anthony and Nicholas come from? They aren’t in the respective Latin and Greek originals.

@NiallHarbison What a wonderful thing you have done. I noticed this because our own English Setter is called Lando (short for Orlando).

@MichaelRosenYes In Cyprus, surnames are fairly recent and generally came from a father’s name. It’s also traditional for the eldest boy to be named after the paternal grandfather. This means loads of people are called things like Georgios Georgiou, Petros Petrou, Sophocles Sophocleous and so on

It’s a sign of how low the Republican Party has sunk that this man now looks like an enlightened genius.

Is there a spreadsheet with the full UK general election results?

This is the biggest Starmer policy that is unsustainable. Who thinks he should steal the Lib Dem approach of steady re-engagement? Keir Starmer ruled out rejoining the EU. Now he must think again | William Keegan | The Guardian https://t.co/CQaCRMHrGM

@electoralreform Wouldn’t it be a class act if @UKLabour, one of the greatest beneficiaries of the ridiculous FPTP system, were to lead its replacement

We have recalled Agent Truss from the field, her work is complete.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

I just can’t get past Labour winning 65% of seats off 34% of the vote.

Absolutely wild mismatch between the headline result and, well, everything else.

Britain is now a multi-party system, and first-past-the-post can’t cope.

@amy_tisi Not as bad as 1) locked gates with no letterbox and 2) letterbox at the end of a 1/2 mile long upwards sloping drive

[Sevenoaks Liberal Democrats @SevenoaksLibDem]

Today's the day we turn #Sevenoaks yellow! It's so close between us and the Tories. Please vote Lib Dem if you want to another safe Conservative seat to fall. #DuntonGreen, #Kemsing, #Shoreham, #Riverhead, #Otford, #Swanley and #Westerham.

[Sevenoaks Liberal Democrats @SevenoaksLibDem]

⚠️ BREAKING⚠️ Final YouGov poll shows its neck-and-neck in #Sevenoaks, including #DuntonGreen, #Shoreham, #Riverhead, #Otford, #Swanley and #Westerham. Anyone who wants to see the Tories lose one of their safest seats, please vote @Richardfor7oaks.

[Billy Bragg @billybragg]

Everyone knows Labour are going to win the election, but if you’re feeling like there’s no point in voting as the outcome is a foregone conclusion, I’d like to draw your attention to something really radical that is on offer tomorrow: 1/8

[Sevenoaks Liberal Democrats @SevenoaksLibDem]

🔶 IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE 🔶 In Sevenoaks, including #Hextable, #Kemsing, #Otford, #Swanley, #Wilmington and #Westerham, only the Lib Dems can beat the Tories. Vote @Richardfor7oaks tomorrow to defeat Cabinet Minister Laura Trott.

[Sue Wright 😷 #SARSCoV2 is #Airborne 💙 @sue_twin2]

Given the #Sevenoaks District Council 2023 election result, see https://t.co/wgBVv7CCrO, I hope those who want change vote for @Richardfor7oaks and will see history made as, to me, he seems the best choice #GE2024

[Councillor Alan Leaman 🔶 @AlanCouncillor]

#Hextablehustings are convincing me more and more that there is a genuine desire for change in #Sevenoaks and #Swanley and that voters are rallying behind @Richardfor7oaks as their choice
