@davidericstan @jamesjpdrake Piss off. The rules of elections have been in place for years. I imagine you voted reform and are sad you lost.
English
@jamesjpdrake Agreed. Only about one third of the people voted for Labour so that means Labour do not have a mandate to rule over our Islands. Time now to bring in P. R.

@TStandfield1789 @Nigel_Farage @reformparty_uk Brexit made us all poorer! @Nigel_Farage doesn’t talk about that anymore
English
So Farage now says Parliament should be recalled.
Why?
So he can drip more poison, but with the protection of Parliamentary privilege?

I have just been invited to appear on Laura Kuenssberg.
I’m refusing until the BBC apologises for their dishonest QT audience.
Our state broadcaster has behaved like a political actor throughout this election.
Reform will be campaigning vigorously to abolish the license fee.

Reform UK will leave the ECHR and deport all illegal migrants to stop the boats.

I’m having quite the day of good news today.
Having spent the past 8 years living overseas, i am leaving London, having just completed purchase of a house back home in England.
I cannot wait to get out of this once great city, now godforsaken $hithole @SadiqKhan has created.
No more of police harassment. No more knife crime, no more phone thieves, no more child mutilation cult flags and no more racist antisemitic marches every weekend.
Just miles and miles of this green and pleasant land.

@campbellclaret He chose to criticise the people of Rochdale for voting the way they did. Absolutely crazy.
Democracy is dead when people say that choice isn’t allowed. I don’t agree with @georgegalloway at all, or @RishiSunak but what a bizarre thing to get bent out of shape about.

I missed the great Churchillian call to arms but I am guessing from the rash of “wtf was that about?” messages that a) there was no clear purpose that made sense and required a PM statement. B) He delivered it badly. C) He is vaguely hoping it will stir things up a bit. But frankly he would do so much better if he just tried to do the job. Govern. Lead. Stop all this performative bullshit. The longer he delays an election the angrier 🇬🇧 will become.

York City Football Club is incredibly disappointed, and strongly condemns, the unacceptable, anti-social behaviour shown to players and visiting broadcaster personnel during last night's fixture.
Any person identified and proved to have been involved in this behaviour will receive further repercussions from the Football Club.

In 4 minutes, Kurt Vonnegut explained stories better than anyone I’ve ever heard. “The shape of the curve is what matters. Not their origins.” He plots stories on 2 axes: X: Time Y: Good fortune / ill fortune He goes on to say, “Somebody gets into trouble, then gets out of it again. People love that story. They never get tired of it.” Point 1: Stories have defined patterns. In Joseph Campbell’s Hero of a Thousand Faces, he makes the case for the Hero’s Journey. Since then, it’s become the most famous storytelling structure in the world. Vonnegut argued stories could be divided into 8 shapes. Each story, he said, fit one of the 8. Point 2: Vonnegut says, “Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them — so the reader may see what they're made of.” To see who your characters really are, you have to make them suffer. Only then does your audience have someone worth cheering for. Point 3: End on a high note. Vonnegut says, “It’s not accidental that the line ends up higher than where it began. This is encouraging to readers.” The way a story makes people feel when they finish is how they remember it. It’s called recency bias. Lift people up and they will love you. *** “There are people. There are stories. The people think they shape the stories, but the reverse is often closer to the truth.” I wrote this with @RobbieCrab. Follow him for lessons on storytelling + fundraising. And I talk about creative storytelling. Follow @nathanbaugh27 for more like that.
