@AvantiWestCoast Thank you

You know where ‘keep your powder dry’ politics ends? It ends in believing in nothing. Everything is measured up against what you *may* lose as framed by the opponent instead of what could be won. This behaviour on repeat over time shows that no principle was sacrosanct.

Please arise for Sir @CGoreham 🤴🏻💛

[The Big Step @the_bigstep]

Don't ever accept that this is ok

Reminder that @faizashaheen wasn’t allowed to be a candidate because she liked a clip from The Daily Show.

@StuntPegg @FootballRamble do yourselves a massive favour and get her involved

[Lars Sivertsen @larssivertsen]

Lads, you went into the tournament with no fit left back, no idea who plays in midfield, a half-injured captain and top scorer, and a knackered 21 yearold being asked to hold it all together.

Getting to the final and losing to the best team in the tournament is not actually bad?

‼️ BREAKING ||

Greens now in 2nd place in 40 seats.

#GE29

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

All the odds were stacked against Jeremy Corbyn.

He’s one of the only independents to win a competitive election in a general election since World War II.

He started his campaign late because of loyalty to his old party.

His constituency has a huge turnover.

Labour threw everything at this seat.

He suffered a relentless smear campaign.

He won against huge odds, and his team should be unbelievably proud of what they achieved.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

If you're on the left, today is a day of optimism.

The Greens and independents surged.

Greens are now second place in dozens of Labour seats, meaning pressure no longer only comes from Farageism.

Labour now ignores the Left at its peril.

New column!

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

No, that’s not what happened.

Labour purged their candidate on the eve of an election and humiliated her in the process.

If they’d kept her as a candidate, she would have won.

This defeat is on Starmer, and again sums up how urban voters have no enthusiasm for his leadership.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

My fear is Labour are going to respond to the Reform surge in their seats by escalating anti-migrant bashing.

This is wrong in principle - but you can see what happened in Europe when “centrists” tried the same strategy.

Spoiler: it legitimised and fuelled the far right.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

"Centrists" want to see themselves as The Good Guys.

Then the left comes along with inconvenient facts, such as they're backing a Labour leader who is serially dishonest, legitimised war crimes, and supports Tory policies which drive kids into poverty.

That's what annoys them!

Me: man, I’m stoked for this Austria/Hungary match

Guy from 1911: me too, who are they playing?

[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.’

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

.@FisherAndrew79 rightly dismisses the ridiculous accusation that Labour under Corbyn did what Starmer is doing now, and he highlights the response of the @RunnymedeTrust to Labours treatment of Diane Abbott - they called it abhorrent.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

One of the most right wing Tory MPs with a toxic political record?

Labour is the party for you!

The first Black female MP? We will boot you out and humiliate you in the process.

[CGI Sam @samogriff]

He should have been sacked straight away. Disappointed at my club.

[Joe Dean @joedean97]

And just one more, there’s absolutely no way Shane Duffy should’ve been involved in the these games - drink driving is immoral in itself, add to that the complete lack of professionalism to be out drinking with such a big game less than a week later, dreadful mentality #ncfc
