It looks terribly weak for a sitting PM to remove a challenger via a technicality. This will only weaken #Starmer and embolden #Burnham. Yesterday’s veto was a very Politburo-ish move and it makes Starmer look desperate. V bad politics

Whenever I travel in Europe, I stand in the longest passport queues. But I notice that all these nationalities r allowed fast access across UK ports. This lack of reciprocity is blatant and undermines the British Govt. What’s the explanation? When will Brits gain the same rights at European ports?

Now that’s the type of positive change we need. Change focused on growth and fresh ideas. Not the alternative of hate and gloom offered by #Reform.

Huge bravo to all involved in our great party

A truly awful immoral person. If the Democratic Party keeps adopting her line of thinking, they will lose the youth vote forever

Well said

I’ve been seething at #HillaryClinton’s continuous belittlement of Palestinian suffering and mockery of Palestinian supporters. Ashamed that I once supported this awful person. Thank you from the heart 2 #LemkinInstitute. This is the put down she deserved.

Big Ben late at night

An atmospheric evening in London after late votes on the budget including voting against the stealth tax from frozen personal allowance and taking a stance against the family farm tax.

New party founded by Corbyn adopts Your Party as name Your Party delegates also vote to be led by a panel of members - avoiding a potentially explosive leadership race.

Walk-outs, in-fighting, acrimony, two founding leaders fighting it out every day in public…. And that’s all before the first party conference concludes!

This is not Your Party, this is Your Pantomime!!

What a farce

The Gulf’s AI Rise and the Risk of Entrenching Authoritarianism | TechPolicy.Press Gulf AI ambitions are rising fast, but weak regulation and massive state control risk deepening authoritarian rule and eroding rights, writes Dima M. Toukan.

As Gulf countries push to become AI powerhouses, weak regulatory guardrails and state-led control risk reinforcing authoritarian governance and undermining fundamental rights, writes Dima M. Toukan.

This is real leadership and deserves proper media coverage. Instead we are still going to get a media obsessed with 5-MP outfit Reform. It’s a disgrace

😊😊😊😊 true that! Mamdani is a major political charmer

Hear hear. Agreed. It does make you wonder whether Trump has it in him to reach across the aisle and build bridges. And whether it’s his right wing advisors like Miller and co that push him into the type of decisions and behavior we don’t like.

Some won’t like me saying this! But Trump’s behaviour at the Mamdani press conference yesterday was his finest moment. Gracious, graceful, open to another view, witty and more. If only that Trump was there all the time! I was positively surprised. #Trump #Mamdani #NewYork

Boris Johnson was a failure as Prime Minister. But I feel frankly that the Covid Inquiry is too harsh. The whole pandemic was so unexpected and unprecedented, it’s easy to look back and judge every move. I think Boris and co tried their best in a very difficult situation. Hindsight is 20/20.

In a battle between the BBC and Nigel Farage, I stand with the #BBC

As a proud member of the LibDem party, I call on our leadership to do all they can to bring back Nick Clegg to frontline British politics. We need him more than ever. All in favour, please reshare.

Of course, the awful Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch are standing with anyone against British interests and institutions. But the good news is that the #BBC will be there and thriving long after #Farage and #Badenoch are seen as tiny fascists that never stood a chance against the good ppl of Britain

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk is being absolutely heroic in standing up for the #BBC. Sure mistakes were made. But this is a great news organization that all Brits must be proud of. It has screwed up. But the attack on it by politicians that have broken all lying records in history shd sway no one!

But isn’t that an issue with the algorithms of a lot of social media platforms?

I understand. But still need to be there. We love BlueSky but sadly it’s nowhere close to the reach of X. We have to stick it out and get stuck into X and make our message known

I’ve never supported socialism but it’s clear that #ZohranMamdani ran a campaign that electrified the youth of NYC and beyond with its positive message and its focus on ethical issues like Gaza. The attacks directed at him are the worst in the modern era. Islamophobia unhinged and unabashed.

Exactly

I strongly disagree. We must be making our message on all platforms. Now more than ever. Regardless of our feelings about one platform or another. If we leave X, we let Reform and Tommy Robinson and co run amok and influence more ppl with their nonsense

Agreed

Absolutely

In this uniquely dangerous moment in British history, is it time for a Yellow & Green Alliance? The #GreenParty under #ZackPolanski is an exciting prospect and it’s appealing to younger voters. #LibDems are also on the march. Should we consider a strategic and long lasting alliance to stop #Reform?

I’m not sure what your angle is. Please clarify

What on earth is Elon Musk doing endorsing this racist thug. Tommy Robinson is on record with the vilest statements against Muslims and all sorts of incitements towards violence against Muslims. What is Elon saying to his Muslim customers around the world ? This needs an urgent answer.
