This “Starmer spends too much time abroad” thing is risible. He’s a new PM, establishing relationships, in a world which is on fire- all of which affecting voters at home.

Arnie did about twenty Japanese commercials in the 80s and 90s, and they're all insane. I'm not sure what product is being advertised here, but I can only presume it's some kind of liquid hallucinogenic.

When the first thing you do after being elected is threaten the security of your allies to protect one of your biggest donors, we usually call that corruption

[Sam Dumitriu @Sam_Dumitriu]

What was the most clarifying political moment of the last decade?

For me, it was when Tony Blair said we should prioritise giving as many people as possible a single-dose of the covid vaccine and the subsequent 'expert' backlash.

Turns out he was right and they were wrong.

[Stuart John Bulloch @stubulloch]

Would be amusing quite how big a wetter he is if weren't for the fact he's ostemsibly in the White House now. World's richest baby.

CCDH should be prosecuted for interference in US elections by a foreign entity, among their many crimes

[Dylan @dmc_dmcc]

Crazy how Millennials were the only ones to learn how to use computers and we apparently are also the only ones who learned to see through disinformation on those same exact computers.

Literally everyone else younger & older than us is like a native population with a new disease

[Darth Putin @DarthPutinKGB]

Now I have to find a replacement for Scholz. It never ends.

[Rt. Hon Ben Wallace @BenWallace70]

So whatever your feelings about the US election are the best insurance for all our security is to invest in our own defence & security right across Europe. We don’t need ridiculous“European armies” or an EU defence rival to NATO. We need to all invest 3% GDP across the Alliance.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Sometimes I think Republicans must laugh like crazy in private about Democrats tolerating the electoral college, which means they win the popular vote by a mile but still have a scrum over who wins the election. It's time for us to change that & have a fair system

[Kharg Island Margaritaville @canderaid]

You are posting about the Iowa poll because you're hopeful that Harris will win. I am posting about it because I yearn for the brutal public humiliation of Nate Silver. We are NOT the same

[Swann Marcus @SwannMarcus89]

Other pollsters: “We need to herd to protect our reputations and avoid underestimating Trump again”

Ann Selzer: lmfao what if Harris is winning Iowa tho

[Peter Walker @peterwalker99]

In a rare outing for our opinion site, I’ve written about why councils seeking to ban bikes from city centres due to delivery bikes are treating it as a “cycling problem” when it’s actually a law enforcement problem - these are mainly electric mopeds.

There is a bit of myth around care homes that they are operating on a shoe string so here's a reminder that lots of private sector providers make vast amounts of money by squeezing staff pay and standards and bunging it to senior execs/ shareholders

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

Important context from @DanNeidle So much special pleading and motivated reasoning when favourable tax treatment is reduced. Makes rational reform so hard. And why govts should think very hard before introducing any tax breaks. Once there they are very hard to get rid of.

[Stuart John Bulloch @stubulloch]

Fuel duty freeze is simply unconscionable 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Theo Bertram @theobertram]

Freezing fuel duty but not bus prices... Short termist and unprogresssive

[Robert Hutton @RobDotHutton]

Robert Jenrick: off sick the day they taught law at law school.

[steve richards @steverichards14]

How do Emma Barnett and Laura Kuennsberg know their listeners/ viewers are furious? It’s a form of populist arrogance..they read the screaming headlines in some papers..assume they speak for the entire electorate and elect themselves as their fantasy audience’s spokespersons.

Officers are preparing the Police vehicle to take Stephen Yaxley-Lemon (aka Tommy Robinson) to prison on remand
