[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

Labour's collapse and Reform's surge were entirely predictable and predicted two years ago, even by a Canadian in the country for a couple of days.

[Vijay Prashad @vijayprashad]

I hope that @IvanCepedaCast prevails in the Colombian presidential election on Sunday (@EstamosConIvan).
(his father, Manuel Cepeda, was an important figure of the Colombian Left, a leader of the Colombian Communist Party....of course assassinated in 1994 by the wretched oligarchy of Colombia).
Here are father and son:

That top 30 is 🔥

[Sir Geoff Hurst @TheGeoffHurst]

Sunny Afternoon. One of the all time greats. All time great band as well. I always love the Kinks and Rays quintessentially English lyrical stories. No 1 today 60 years after the first time #Kinks

[Matthew Stiles @MatthewStiles2]

@TonyIncenzo Emma Hayes was brilliant.

[Simon Fletcher @fletchersimon]

Doubly timely with the death of Roy Hattersley and the possibility of a change of PM. Benn and Hattersley both interesting on leaders holding their govts together. Well worth watching both halves. More longer-form serious political TV like this would be welcome today.

@TheCinesthetic I agree, great film. People criticise Lazenby a lot but he is the most athletic of all the Bonds. I doubt that any other actor who has played Bond would beat him in a fight

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is absolutely insane.

The suffragettes used far more extreme tactics than Palestine Action.

They planted bombs, burned down private homes and smashed up art galleries.

They killed five people!

Her outrageous judgement is based on absurd historical ignorance.

[Labour Assembly @labourassembly]

Our very own Matt Willgress on the wave of support being shown for anti-austerity MP @HackneyAbbott in response to the truly outrageous treatment she has faced.

Over 32,000 have told Starmer that they stand with Diane- you can help get it to 35,000 here: https://t.co/phP6bforr6

Nandy: "We've got to significantly increase the amount we're spending on defence"

Over the last several days I haven't seen a single interviewer question this claim. Instead the challenge to politicians making it is, are you increasing it fast enough/by enough?

The resignations of John Healey and Al Carns are a cynical attempt to make higher military spending the defining priority of Britain’s next government — whatever the cost to welfare, public services and living standards. https://t.co/PdnLWwmrf8

@MuradQureshiLDN @FootballHQ @juniejunus It's incredible. FIFA World Cup bids include government guarantees relating to visas and freedom of movement for tournament participants. The US Govt has reneged on its commitments and Infantino shrugs his shoulders
