maybe cliche to say this but a bigger splash is still one of the most striking paintings i’ve ever seen, RIP david hockney

[LizaMinnelliOutlives @LiZaOutlives]

Liza Minnelli has outlived 14 years of Conservative Party rule in the United Kingdom. A landslide vote has elected the Labour Party and Keir Starmer is poised to become Prime Minister.

Help or advice would be very much appreciated for a disenfranchised East Belfast voter

My postal vote has still not arrived and the NI Electoral Office has said there is nothing they can do, including reissuing my ballot as is possible in England.

Even if I now turn up to vote in person, I will not be allowed to do so.

Genuinely don’t know what I’m meant to do?

[Sam Hudson @sejhudson]

@SimplyAYT_ Almost as if working class students are particularly affected by the marking boycott and the person whose job it is to represent their interests is... representing their interests

[Jake Lowry @jakelowry01]

@ptr_mcl Hmm I’m not sure about this.

Surely the point is that a genuine *attempt* to pronounce it correctly is better than knowingly butcher it and then laugh about it?

[Jake Lowry @jakelowry01]

@PseudoJonathan Not normally a fan of gratuitously modern productions but (a) ROH’s initial run of Aida was genuinely excellent and (b) filming isn’t necessarily a bad thing for those who might not otherwise have access at all to opera.

@sufferingnatsci Was just thinking that - I presume it’s something along the lines of it being unsightly

[Jake Lowry @jakelowry01]

@JackBailey2 @sufferingnatsci Captain Underpants and Atlas Shrugged in the same list is one hell of a crossover

[Robert Saunders @redhistorian]

It used to be a strength of the UK system that it could change leadership at speed. Now it either has to retain leaders in whom it has no confidence, or shut down the machinery of govt for 2 months, while 160k unelected people choose a PM. It's practically & democratically absurd

@adamrwh This but Wagamamas but unironically

[Jake Lowry @jakelowry01]

@DannyJDavidson I just met a guy in LA who did his year abroad in Birmingham🥲

[Jake Lowry @jakelowry01]

@diioniee don’t you have PowerPoints to edit or something?

[Jake Lowry @jakelowry01]

@si_rubinstein Agreed. Although Truss has clearly had some (pretty shoddy) media training over the past few weeks, and it’s painful watching her trying to execute it🥲

[Jake Lowry @jakelowry01]

@si_rubinstein I’ve been quite shocked at some of the wild predictions I’ve seen…

Fairly obvious that Sunak and Truss would (will) top the ballot, with her winning the membership vote?

[emily m @maitlis]

It’s riveting to watch a man so convinced of the entitlement of his position that he cannot imagine the country surviving without him. Why would anyone put themselves through something so shaming?

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

In the end he has to go because he will lose ministers faster than he can replace them and Nadine Dorries cannot do all the jobs in government

[Jake Lowry @jakelowry01]

This is just another ridiculous Americanism which will achieve precisely nothing.

[Home Office @ukhomeoffice]

PC Andrew Harper was killed protecting the public. Today, Harper's Law, named in his honour, comes into force.

This new law introduces mandatory life sentences for those who unlawfully kill emergency workers in the line of duty.

Just finished my final Cambridge exam by mounting a passionate defence of New Labour against left-wing revisionism.

Hope you’re proud Tony🥺😍🙈
