I've never announced it, even though it was kind of obvious, but I will not use Twitter any more as long as it is owned by Elon Musk.

Let this be my last post here!

[Sanho Chung 鍾燊豪 @sanhochung]

Was asked by @EUI_EU what my mother tongue is and I saw this. Seriously? Treating Chinese as a single language? This is a huge disrespect to non-Mandarin Sinitic language native speakers.

[Holmes Chan @holmeschan_]

#BREAKING: Chung Pui-kuen, a former top editor at the now-shuttered Hong Kong media outlet Stand News, was sentenced to 21 months in jail after being convicted of publishing "seditious" articles.

The court will soon sentence co-defendant Patrick Lam. More to follow.🧵

During a live, televised mayoral debate in São Paulo, Brazil, one candidate hit another with an iron chair over his back. Pablo Marçal, a right-wing candidate, was attacked by his fellow mayoral candidate, José Luiz Datena, an anti-crime TV journalist. https://t.co/JCuH9PXy29

[Comparative European Politics @CompEurPol_Jnl]

Can we aggregate voters’ perceptions of political parties’ left–right positions?

@tomwgvdmeer @_AckermannK and Huib Pellikaan

How should the new House of Commons Modernisation Committee approach its work? What might it address? And what can it learn from past Commons reform efforts?

Join Greg Power @GPGovernance, @parlysue and Tom Fleming to discuss just this.

A fistfight broke out in Turkey's parliament when an opposition deputy was attacked after calling for his colleague, Can Atalay, to be admitted to the assembly. Atalay was jailed on charges of trying to overthrow the government but was since elected an MP https://t.co/M4NyyckHNu

[Kris Cheng @krislc]

>100 Hong Kong people who moved to Scotland reported problems voting in general election, more than half of them were unable to vote. Total affected could be >3k. Official said it was unacceptable & assured the affected that it would not happen again. https://t.co/ETAETprcdp

[Kiwi Ting @kiwiting.bsky.social @kiwiting]

The stunt last night notwithstanding, this tweet is, in and of itself, very funny🤣🤣🤣

[Liz Truss @trussliz]

What happened last night was not funny. Far-left activists disrupted the event, which then had to be stopped for security reasons.

This is done to intimidate people and suppress free speech. I won't stand for it.

Would we see the same reaction if the activists were far-right?

[Daniel Höhmann @DaHoehmann]

Politicians' personality traits affect their attitudes towards gender equality.

In a new paper @LSQjournal @corinna_kroeber and I show that the higher MPs score on the Openness trait, the more they support the representation of gender equality 📊

Thought experiment: Would Ensemble have scored a better result if Macron has called the snap election after staging a relatively successful #Olympics rather than before?

[Uni of Reading @UniofReading]

Did you know there are now ten MPs in the House of Commons who were born after 1995?

@kiwiting, Lecturer in Comparative Politics at @UniofReading discusses what this rise, from just two before the election, could mean for UK politics.

Nothing is more on brand than Elon Musk's predicted "inevitable UK civil war" turning out to be four blokes sheltering for their own protection behind a police escort.
