Charities like @chooselove and @refugeecouncil do incredible work supporting refugees and people seeking sanctuary. Fabulous to see @RomeshRang and @SebastianCroft stay faithful to the values so many of us share by donating their winnings to two great charities. Charities and #CelebrityTraitors are the best of us 👏🏾
BREAKING 🚨 Faithfuls Sebastian and Romesh have won #TheCelebrityTraitors Series 2!

Come on, people of Clacton, you know what to do... #BinFarage
'My job is to demonstrate that British democracy is wonderful and unique in the entire Cosmos' Count Binface told #BBCBreakfast why he plans to stand against Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election - triggered by the resignation of the Reform UK leader who then plans to re-fight the seat, which he argued would vindicate him following questions over his financial arrangements bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjdg…

A country’s vitality is deeply tied to the value it affords to human life in every form and condition, acknowledging the dignity endowed upon every human person by virtue of their very existence. The moral greatness of a nation is manifested, above all, in its capacity to support, protect and cherish the lives of all, especially the most vulnerable and those whose worth is questioned.

Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame. Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.

Makerfield has made the rules about broadcast coverage of elections and by-elections a complete farce, though nobody seems to agree what the rules are anyway. But giving Burnham big coverage then listing the other contenders is just absurd.

In Wigan, Reform won 96% of the seats on 46% of the votes. In Westminster, the Conservatives won a majority on 35%, while @TheGreenParty won 18% of the votes without gaining a single seat. The time to change the voting system is *now* @MakeVotesMatter

Keir Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID. That’s not the kind of country we want to be.

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

College students in swing states waiting to vote: STAY IN LINE! Let's be honest you weren't going to your 8am anyway But seriously, as long as you’re in line at closing time they have to let you vote. If you have any questions or problems call or text the Election Protection Hotline: 866-OUR-VOTE
An hour ago, here was the scene of Lafayette College students waiting to vote at Kirby Sports Center. As of now at 12:45 p.m., that line is just as long. Stay tuned for more updates on our live blog, which can be found on our website. (Video courtesy of Isabella Gaglione ‘25)

‘The Illusion of Explanatory Depth’ is a form of cognitive bias whereby we think we understand a topic more than we do. Because of it, we all know less about the world than we think we do.

Israeli leaders could not be more open about their genocidal intent. They declare this intent over and over again, in the most direct, explicit, unapologetic terms possible. They remain armed and backed by the West.
"There is no difference between Hezbollah and Lebanon. Lebanon will be annihilated. It will cease to exist." — Israel's Minister of Education

Anti-Muslim bigotry in the West has been spiralling out of control for a long time. It’s mainstream, respectable, legitimised by some who consider themselves progressive. These comments by Trump’s V-P pick reflect our descent to a very dark place. xitter.gq/60sJapanfan/status/181…
