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

Kamala Harris will be the first president in history with experience in all three branches of government—judicial, legislative, and executive. So to say this woman is "not qualified" or experienced to be president is solely based on racism and misogyny.

No. ❤️

Am I the only one who doesn't understand why a primetime interview with former PM Boris Johnson - because of his book - was considered necessary by the BBC in the first place? That's the real issue here. Who the media gives a platform to & why/how matters bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I feel I could stand to hear more about who is funding the various Tory candidates, and whether anyone has been buying them clothes, and in whose houses they may or may not have been meeting.

@lastdinnerparty I am sure tge decision wasn't taken lightly and I hope everyone is OK. We need some communication from the band/promoter/anyone.

@lastdinnerparty there has been no statement/contact since you cancelled the gig so late last night. @TicketmasterUK unaware it was cancelled. Please put out some info so that fans, who are significantly out of pocket due to travel, hotels etc know what is happening. Very poor.

It'll shock you to hear that Reform didn't want me attending their conference either. My ticket also cancelled. Free speech Farage strikes again.

Tells you everything you need to know about Trump and his hack defenders in the media that they claim it was unfair to make it easier to vote by mail during the pandemic in 2020 but it’s ok to change electoral vote allocations less than 50 days before the election.

Robbie Gibb transferred his share in the JC on Wednesday. The paper now has two shareholders, not one. But neither, we can safely say, is the true owner.

Man in glasses, "Is there any justification for an MP to ever accept a gift whilst in office?" #BBCQT Fiona Bruce, "Keir Starmer received over £100,000 of gifts.. Far more than any other current MP" Though nowhere near as many gifts as Boris Johnson received e.g. £200,000 to refurbish a flat Lucy Powell, "It happens and it is acceptable.. Two issues.. Transparency and declared.. Which is what Keitr Starmer and myself have done" Fiona Bruce, "You're second on the list with £40,000 worth of gifts.. Why?" Lucy Powell, "The vast majority relate to me attending events as shadow culture secretary.. Official events I was attending in official capacity.. One of the quirks of our system is ministers don't have to declare them in the same way" "The Secretary of State didn't have to declare those gifts, but as shadow secretary of state, I did" "Which is why, on that list which is being widely shared today, there are no former conservative ministers on that list, even though they would be attending the same events" Didn't know that @LucyMPowell thanks for the context 👏

Just to put this out there with clarity: Robbie Gibb, who is responsible for turning the disgraced JC into a right-wing Pro-Netanyahu propaganda rag, is one of five people - including the Director General - on the @BBCNews editorial guidelines and standards committee. It’s on the BBC website. Minutes of the last meeting show they discussed complaints about Israel/Gaza. Quite apart from the fact he is not remotely impartial on the Middle East, how can the major shareholder of a paper with such poor journalistic standards and such extreme hawkish bias have a role over the BBC’s? Robbie Gibb gets to censor the BBC's Middle East coverage. He needs to resign today. bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/wh…

So Huw Edwards gets a suspended sentence for buying and making pornographic images of children, while peaceful environmental defenders seeking to prevent social catastrophe get 3, 4 and 5 years. Some justice, this.
