I never understood why people voted for Brexit, I never understood why people voted for Trump but last night at dinner a Doctor explained it to me, he said,

"They're stupid Robert, simply very stupid"

Remembering a dear friend, the always late Graham Chapman. He ceased to be 35 years ago today.

@azsweetheart013 @springsteen @KamalaHarris @SpringNuts_ That’s an unfollow I think

[Jamie Raskin @jamie_raskin]

With this beautiful endorsement, Bruce boards the Democracy train to the land of hopes and dreams. Sorry, Trump, but he left you a Pennsylvania Avenue Freeze Out. Nobody’s blinded by the Right.

.@Liz_Cheney: "There is not an ounce of compassion in Donald Trump. He is petty. He is vindictive, and he is cruel. And Donald Trump is not fit to lead this good and great nation."

[John Crace @JohnJCrace]

Weirdly, Jennifer Arcuri does not feature in the index of Boris Johnson book

@IAFFofficial @IAFFLocal4790 You didn’t back Kamala/Walz and bottled it. Disgrace

[RS Archer @archer_rs]

I'm not sure he's thought this through.

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

Wow. As a lifelong fan of The Boss, I couldn't be more honored to have his support.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Holy shit! Bruce Springsteen, with one of the most eloquent endorsements for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz you'll hear. The Boss also delivered one of the strongest repudiations of the loathsome piece of shit I've heard from anyone. Let's fucking go‼️🙌🌊🇺🇸

Hi @BethRigby @KayBurley @ChrisMasonBBC when can we expect this to be wall to wall 24 hour news? 🤔

@Socket1Sophie Please tell me this is true

[Reform UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

Nicholas Lissack here is introducing himself as an 'independent journalist'.

He's a Reform UK member, and as you can see from his LinkedIn, he's Isabel Oakeshott's researcher. Yes, the partner of Richard Tice.

His next argument is even odder. He claims that UKForces are being obliged to kill rather than detain on combat operations because the ECHR requires prisoners to be released.
This is just wrong. The ECHR requires no such thing. Indeed there is a case called Hassan v U.K. at the Court ofHuman Rights that makes clear that the ECHR has to be read alongside the Geneva Conventions and that detention of prisoners taken in combat or suspected of being combatants is allowed.
There was a problem in Afghanistan with detention of suspected combatants due to Afghan law, not the ECHR.

Tom Tugendhat, "The truth is, what we've seen time and time and time again, is that when Labour comes in, debt goes up"

2010: UK national debt £1 trillion

2024: UK national debt £2.6 trillion

Over 14 years the Conservative party more than doubled national debt

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

Liz Truss stood at the general election. She lost her seat despite having a majority of 26,000. She refused to give a concession speech. For some reason Conservatives are still listening to her.

[Dominic Grieve @dominicgrieve_]

Jenrick provides no explanation as to how he would deal with the consequences of leaving the ECHR. It underpins our current relationship with the EU. Without it we will be unable to share data essential to commerce and security and ourTCA would collapse. The Good Friday agreement requires Northern Ireland to be adherent to the ECHR and we have agreed it should. Not to discuss how he intends to get round this makes his pitch valueless.
