Sorry, as a historian, I can’t help it:

Again, it's intellectually dishonest to present ECHR withdrawal as the silver bullet of border control without acknowledging the complex intermeshing of multiple international law obligations. There's a lot of Convention scapegoating going on here.

35 years ago, the last episode of #Blackadder Goes Forth was screened. 3 hours of unmatched hours of comedy to many of us. But there was a deeper message throughout encapsulated in this moving final scene. #lestweforget

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

If Labour win a whopping ("super") majority, they might do more of this sort of nonsense. Down with this sort of nonsense.

This is possibly the funniest SNL skit ever made, lol

[Armando Iannucci @Aiannucci]

Those asking if ‘The Thick of It’ is writing this election may want to note that today’s Tory immigration plan -shunt it off to an independent body to decide, so ministers can avoid talking specifics in interviews- is the main plot of 2009’s special ‘The Rise of the Nutters.’

Very nicely done by @philipjcowley and @whyoutloud: https://t.co/mSWZ9VFhU3

[Adam Payne @adampayne26]

There's little enthusiasm for Labour

Polls show people aren't excited by Labour policies, they just want the Tories out

Indeed, lots of people think a new government won't actually make a difference

... Not 2024, but 1997

Very good thread on one small but significant moment that tells us something about Keir Starmer, the person

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Change.

Wolf Hall is worth a rewatch solely for his outstandingly funny portrayal of the Duke of Norfolk. https://t.co/OCT90ndr1N
