As of 4.00pm today the candidates were confirmed, and the race for the Clacton by-election is officially on between @CountBinface & @Nigel_Farage. Here's our parody of "Englishman in New York" by #Sting - titled "Garbage Can Who Can Talk" - to reflect on the challenger 🎶🚀

@yaakovkatz Not sure why we had to wait till now to discover that Netanyahu was being, to put it mildly, cavalier with the truth. Everyone knows he has form in that regard.
I have deleted most stories about my son here on X. There's a copyright infringement and X is not doing anything about it. So hence I won't be posting about my family. Thank you all for coming this far with me. We love you 😍.
@steveeypips I joined the Labour Party in order to vote AGAINST Corbyn. I let my membership lapse. So imagine my horror to receive a mailing list email from him today, shilling for Burnham. Labour, what are you doing?
@DBichhang10958 That scene wasn’t in Pretty Woman and in any case Gere couldn’t dance like that. He had to be taught to dance for his role in a different film about King David and he was lamentable.
@nonregemesse This actor is the late Roger Rees who was with the Royal Shakespeare Company and was the lead in its stunning version of Nicholas Nickleby. Beautiful actor, beautiful voice.
I face more ideological resistance from students today than I did 10 years ago.
Here's what I mean.
Yesterday, I had a group of 14-year-olds argue with me about capitalization.
Many of them rarely use capital letters correctly in their writing, and they genuinely believe capitalization is unnecessary, or even "dumb."
When I told them that I take points off for ignoring capitalization, they insisted it was unfair.
Ten years ago, I almost never had conversations like this.
Students might have forgotten the rules. They might have been careless. But they rarely argued that the rules themselves didn't matter.
My goodness, Paddy O'Connell comes across as a proper prick here. From the start calling Count Binface by the wrong name — ‘Bin’ — twice when asked not to. And then trying some sort of weird gotcha exposé on him mid interview. #newsnight
💥#Breaking Yair, Dauphin of Israel, has changed his name.
@Haaretz's Uri Misgav is in possession of Tax Authority documents showing that Yair Netanyahu changed his name to Yonatan Hon. https://t.co/fkjOLUpCQ6
