@Microinteracti1 (2) But Armenia is no bastion of the rule of law. Judges are on trial, as are lawyers, activists, the clergy and journalists/bloggers. Pahinyan himself unilaterally placed partisan in positions in charge of bodies with executive control prior to and during the election period.

[Mark Jones @yourhumanright]

@Microinteracti1 (1) I agree with you. A move away from Russia is evidently the right approach. Moldova and Hungary made the right choice. But in Armenia it is far more complex. No-one wants Russia in their orbit and Armenia are historically more reliant than others given their resources and NGK

@Jimbo_Cricket just perusing the history books. If Root scores another century he’ll be only the fourth batter to score a century in both innings at Lords after George Headley in 1939, Gooch’s famous 333 innings in 1990 and Vaughan in 2004. #ENGvSL #TestCricket #Lords #JoeRoot

@Jimbo_Cricket just reading the history books. If Root scores a ton he’ll be only the fourth batter to score a hundred in both innings at Lord, following the great George Headley in 1939, Gooch in his famous 333 innings in 1990 and Vaughan in 2004.

@MatthewStadlen Aren’t we now at a point where all respectable journalists and newspapers should indicate that their accounts wil no longer be used whilst he is in charge and whilst the likes of Robinson etc are permitted on the site. Stop paying for blue ticks, move to Mastodon.

Lovely example below of American politics in a more courteous age - two rival Presidents modest, respectful, understated - and not that long ago…!

@TRobinsonNewEra What is it about your organisation and your political views that you need to make a twitter video telling your supports not to be aggressive thugs? Do you see other organisations needing to do the same? No.

[Mark Jones @yourhumanright]

@TRobinsonNewEra "Speakers coming from America, Canada etc" for a pro-British Patriotic protest. Seems to be a contradiction in terms. What you really mean is that you've got some right-wing fascists attending. #UniteAgainstFascism #UniteAgainstTommyRobinson #Unions4Unity

@nogulagsagain Other than an opportunistic racist post what is your point here? These people are white caucasian. How is this linked to migrants, unless you're suggesting they are Europeans, Canadians, Americans, Australians etc who don't assimilate into UK culture?

[Mark Jones @yourhumanright]

@jamesks92 @JolyonMaugham @benhabib6 @reformparty_uk @GoodLawProject have won more of their cases than they’ve lost, despite novel points of law and developing jurisprudence. Given it’s important to respond to disinformation - such as your inaccurate tweet- here are the stats. People can support them https://t.co/21QHVgOfc4

[Mark Jones @yourhumanright]

@Waterstones what provision of your policy did @TillyLovesBooks breach in posting her tweet disagreeing with the stance of #ChristinaDachler? An organisation such as yourselves should encourage free speech from both sides. Sacking an employee is wholly disproportionate.

[Mark Jones @yourhumanright]

@VotePursglove That being the case, given that only a relatively small number of asylum seekers were every going to be realistically sent to Rwanda, what was the Conservative plan for the remainder? This highlights why Labour's plan to address the trafficking gangs is preferable and paramount.

[Mark Jones @yourhumanright]

@montie @BBCMarkEaston @faisalislam The journalism is not imbalanced. Sometimes there is less to critique because the simple fact is that the policy makes sense. It may be difficult for the Conservatives to stomach but Labour are more earnest, more organised & more dedicated to public service whilst Tories bicker.

[Mark Jones @yourhumanright]

@SarahEdwardsTam Congratulations Sarah. A fantastic and well-deserved result.

[Mark Jones @yourhumanright]

@KemiBadenoch How interesting that people would only be mentioning this on the doorstep on polling day? Wouldn’t they have expected their postal ballots by yesterday or had you not visited the community? This sounds contrived and more like someone laying the ground in the event that she loses.

[Mark Jones @yourhumanright]

@Conservatives How exactly would they ‘rig the system’? By allowing people to vote and then those voters preferring Labour to the Conservatives? That soundв very much like a democracy. What isn’t very democratic is posting misrepresentations about a political party to influence voting behaviour

[Mark Jones @yourhumanright]

@PollingReportUK This is not remotely close to either of yesterday’s models which consider this to be very close between Labour and Conservative. Quite unhelpful for this to still be appearing like this on polling day when people may otherwise choose to vote tactically if they knew it was close.

[Charlie 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @CharlieBrk2004]

For anyone who is still undecided, here’s what the last Labour government did. 🌹

[Mark Jones @yourhumanright]

@montie What is so radical in the Labour manifesto? The Tories had a majority in 2019 that allowed them carte blanche to pass legislation at will. Please explain why this shouldn’t apply when the shoe’s on the other foot? This is nothing but a desperate attempt to get a hung parliament

[Mark Jones @yourhumanright]

It’s a sign of how desperate the Tory party have become when the PM who, when Chancellor, was instrumental in forcing out Johnson for being unfit for office, as now pleaded for the support of a man who appears deranged & resembling ‘the love child of Les Patterson & Father Jack’

[Daily Mail @DailyMail]

It's a real love Tory! Boris Johnson makes triumphant return to Conservative front line to 'answer Rishi's call' cheered on by party faithful before taking aim at Starmer and Farage https://t.co/VcVXqcX0pe
