Based on the mood in Makerfield today, I think @AndyBurnhamGM has made a massive miscalculation. Just got a feeling that @reformparty_uk is going to win, by a significant margin

BREAKING:

Both the White House & RNCC have lashed out at the creators of this ad.

It must have struck a nerve.

Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.

You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

The privilege of my life to have quizzed with these legends. Jarv, JG... we did it. An utter, utter joy. I could not be prouder. #onlyconnect

[Fontaines D.C. @fontainesdublin]

Now more than ever it is vital that we all support the work of War Child. All proceeds support @WarChildUK.

[Carl Gombrich @carlgomb]

@PositivFuturist Yes.

I suppose the concern (for us democrats as much an anyone) is that:

a. The voting system sometimes does a poor job of representing the population;

b. Once in power, those elected sometimes don't do what the electorate want on key issues.

[Christine Jackson @CnajJackson]

@TRobinsonNewEra Yes. Looks like a great place for children to grow. Take your poison elsewhere

[Christine Jackson @CnajJackson]

@MichaelRosenYes Inspiring. Beautifully expressed

[Christine Jackson @CnajJackson]

Do it Michael! You could be the first to do a Legend slot in the Kidz Field😁

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

I've been invited to play Glasto.

OK, revise that.
There's a children's stage at Glastonbury and I've been invited to do a show there.
I think I'd like to do that...

And do you remember the North East word for cheeky? My parents’ generation would call my friends ‘ impittent’ , a NE version of impudent I think

[Alan Armstrong @ArmisAl63]

@jonkay01 @MichaelRosenYes Going back to when our bairns were little our Holly would ask every Sunday, “ Are we having a Sunderland Dinner?”.

[Christine Jackson @CnajJackson]

Similar scenario - my then five year old called it a poo -bubble. Still works 25 years later!

@susiesbookrevs Door wedge. A way of communicating you’re available to chat

Read an exclusive first chapter of ‘Kahlil Joseph and the Audiovisual Atlantic’, out now by @JosephOJackson: https://t.co/6GxCXWr91V

No, not 💯 Elon. In the U.K. they’re not going round ‘finding people who’ve said something they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage.’ Some people are being charged for inciting racial hatred and for organising acts of violence. It’s very specific, and it’s the law in most democracies including the US. For example, one person has pleaded guilty today to inciting an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers: an attack which then took place. Another hotel was set on fire, with people still inside. Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause. To be clear, criminal violence directed towards various communities in the U.K. was perpetrated as a result of malicious and specifically targeted misinformation online. And it’s a relief no-one was killed. Words matter. And yet here you are, running a huge information network, and all you can do is post 💯 over something you choose not to verify for accuracy, not alert people to it’s highly damaging nature. In fact, because of who you are, your 💯 gives it a stamp of approval in the eyes of those who seek validation for their actions. What we say and do has real consequences. That’s because we’re not in a matrix, we’re in real life, and sticking 💯 on a lie doesn’t turn it into truth.

[Christine Jackson @CnajJackson]

Where is ‘Prevent’ these days? Grooming young people for terrorism used to be called radicalisation. You are right to be saddened by this. Their own children!

[Guz Khan 🥶 @GuzKhanOfficial]

I’m not trying to be a wimp, but what is going to take a long time to heal in my heart personally is the videos of parents with their kids screaming “Pakis out!” In the streets of England and Ireland.

2024…what a disgrace man.

[Ben Sellers @MrBenSellers]

I know it is in safe hands & they will be sure to keep the ‘feel’ & purpose of the @PeoplesBookshop going forward. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to everyone who has put so much effort in, recently & over the years.

Stay gold. 7/7

[Dr Joe Jackson @JosephOJackson]

@CJNwonka @BloomsburyMus Thanks so much again Clive - it’s a real honour to have you contextualise/set the scene for the book in such detailed fashion - not long to go until publication now…

[Christine Jackson @CnajJackson]

Saw it in Bath. DW magnificent; Callum H charming, innocent,making another step up in his awe inspiring trajectory from Its A Sin via Cabaret.

[Chris Bryant @RhonddaBryant]

Very excited. Going to A View from the Bridge tonight.

[Christine Jackson @CnajJackson]

The BBC is quoting Starmer as sending best wishes or similar to President Trump. Can you intercept to point out to either him or the BBC that Trump is not the President? We have all seen what such a slip can do to the media narrative. Thanks.

[Christine Jackson @CnajJackson]

My dad in the North East used to say (with full approval) that we would elect a donkey if you stuck a red rosette on it. This from a region that hung a drowned chimpanzee in case it was a German spy!

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

Am trying to remember (and failing) the idiom that people use to mean that a party could put anyone in a particular seat/constituency etc to stand in an election and they'd win - eg where there are very old party loyalties etc. What's the idiom? Expression?

[Christine Jackson @CnajJackson]

@MichaelRosenYes @YorkiesRus Your words are so precious. Don’t waste them on this
