Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl

Even a large vote couldn’t give the far-right total control, because the Dutch democracy promotes cooperation.

Here in the UK, just 1/3 of the vote could give Farage a huge majority of MPs.

Our democracy isn't fit for 21st-century politics. We need Proportional Representation.

@michaelshermer and isn't this a great thing? These countries are amongst the happiest in the world.

⏰ Labour needs to wake up

🚨 If anything like these vote shares happened in a general election, the far right would win a landslide majority thanks to our broken voting system

@Merryse235 Do you remember at Ruskin College (his alma mater) in summer of 1985 where he stayed up enthusiastically debating with us students & trade unionists into the small hours when he was Shadow Secretary of State for Employment? I was so impressed by his passion for politics.

Darkly comic to see so many Trump acolytes lecturing Harris about the importance of conceding the race.

☹️Latino men are breaking for Trump by a 10-point margin, 54% to 44%, in a major reversal from four years ago, according to the NBC News Exit Poll. In 2020, Latino men backed Biden over Trump by a 23-point margin, 59% to 36%.

Some real votes and it's more optimistic than the polls but one small data point

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: Kamala Harris is on pace to win Hamilton County in Indiana. This is huge because it’s a suburb that Trump carried by 7 points in 2020. This could show a significant trend line for suburbs across swing states leaning towards Kamala Harris.

[Robert Ford @robfordmancs]

Another intriguing sub plot here is the Tugenhadt supporters. Why were they backing him before? Where did they go now, and why?

Either they overwhelmingly shunned Cleverly in favour of the two right wingers or Tugenhadt to Cleverly switching was offset by people deserting the front runner for his right wing opponents. Either scenario raises lots more questions.

Wonder what went wrong for Cleverly 🤔

Power-hungry men of hatred have pursued a war in which innocent men, women and children across the region have died. Ending it requires diplomacy addressing not only the immediate crisis but long-term security needs, inc a fair settlement for Palestinians.
