  1. Nigel Farage Faces Inquiry Over $7 Million Donation Ahead of 2024 UK Election

  2. Interesting that 60% of registered electors voted in 2024, but that constitutes under 53% of the voting age population. So more than 1 in 8 adults in the UK are not registered or eligible to vote. #UKElection2024 #UKPolitics ippr.org/articles/half-of-us

  3. @jon console yourself with Rees-Mogg losing his seat!

    This video appears to have been expunged from the English language Interwebs. Fortunately, the French national archives appear to have preserved it in its entirety.

    Cringeworthy.

  4. @richlucking I just posted this in a different thread. 🧵

    The English version appears to have been expunged in the last couple of years, but fortunately, the French media archives have preserved it in its entirety.

  5. @adrianco that’s probably the best news all night.

    There was a video of Rees-Mogg at 12 talking about stocks and how he liked money. It appears to haven been cleansed from the mediaverse. This version from the French National Archives gives an excllent perspective.

    He used to be driven to school with a chauffeur in a Rolls-Royce. What sort of grounding is that?! 😱

  6. So, when Count Binface turns up at Buckingham Palace after his (highly probable) landslide win today for his Royal conference — will he need to remove his helmet in the presence of the King?

    Feeling confident there is probably well established etiquette for these situations though…

    George Monbiot works for the Guardian newspaper, who helped to destroy the true Labour Leader, #JeremyCorbyn

    And now, like many other Guardian journos, he is complaining about the consequences of the Corbyn AS smear campaign.

  8. If you are living in Manchester Rusholme there is very little risk of the Tories getting in, with the second most likely candidate is the Green Party

    Therefore if you are a trade unionist don't feel you have to vote labour to get the Tories out but consider fellow RMT comrade Peter Clifford Standing for the Communist League.
    The labour party founded as a party of the working class, has purged nearly all of the Left of the party and show active contempt for unions; abondoning commitments to climate and investing in infrastructure.

  12. “Basically it’s friends, relations, office workers. One of the candidates got their partner to stand.” #ReformLtd #REFUK #UKElection2024 bbc.com/news/articles/ckvgl9kz

  13. Unlike the dark days of 2015/2016, the result of this week's #ukelection2024 and #france24 reminds me these are the birth places of modern democracy, all eyes are now on you #usa2024 , do us proud!

  14. It’s not widely appreciated that numbers of votes and seats directly determine the amount of state funding that opposition parties receive—currently around 20p per vote per year. It’s significantly higher for parties with >5 seats, so #Reform and the Greens just missed out. #UKElection2024

    Labour Landslide! Sir Keir Starmer Storms It In The UK With A Record Dominant Election Victory

  16. This purge has turned Labour into a mirror image of the Conservatives: obsequious toward big business, advocating austerity at home and militarism abroad. It has also foreshadowed how Mr. Starmer would operate in Downing Street.

  17. Fifty shades of beige… this humorous video pretty much sums up my reaction, that of a highly engaged and interested Yank, to the #UKElection - but I must say, I am most gratified to see Truss, Mordant and Rees-Mogg gone, whilst Jeremy Corbyn prevails as an independent. One thing is for certain, the next few weeks and months will be interesting viewing for keen observers. #UKElection2024 #UKPolitics #Conservatives #ConservativesFearChange

  20. I would have been so pleased if Suella Braverman had lost her seat, but the fact the her nastiness will be hidden for a while is good. Delighted that Corbyn won. #ukelection2024 #ToriesOut

  21. Deputy PM Rayner wearing turquoise sends a message to #ReformLtd: we’re onto you. #UKElection2024

  22. “Farage is the horror version of Inside Out, where Mendacity is only just holding off Racism at the control console… the idea that this hollow chancer should still be one of the most significant politicians of the age says everything about the age.” #UKElection2024 theguardian.com/commentisfree/

    The UK #LabourParty is justifiably celebrating their blowout victory in yesterday's #UKElection2024, but how big a blowout was it?

    Labour won just 34% of the national vote but now has 64% of the seats in #Westminister.

    The single-seat-per-constituency, first-past-the-post system does a poor job of representing the "will of the people"

    Under a PR system, #KeirStarmer would need to build a coalition government

  25. Listening to Radio Scotland this a.m & their take on the big opinion poll was that it was all obviously correct - except for the bit about the #SNP winning 41 seats. So bought the Sunday Times to look for myself. I’m attaching their seat projection maps & well, you can see for yourself what they project happening in Scotland - and it’s not an SNP wipeout for obvious reasons. Which oddly, none of the commentators can bring themselves to mention

  26. I bet there is a certain "can we have the election tomorrow and get this all over with?" feeling settling in among the Tories.

    #UKGE24 #UKElection2024

  27. Why does the Tory candidate have a political slogan on the ballot? UK law prohibits campaigning in and around polling stations, and certainly this also applies to the ballot!

    I'm appalled by this mail in ballot I received yesterday for the May election in Cambridgeshire. How is this acceptable?

  28. #SinnFein currently has more seats in Northern Ireland than #ReformLtd has across the UK. The media-generated narrative is not being borne out by reality. #UKElection2024 #justsaying

  29. The state of the world at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised if the #ToryDictatorship got back in on Thursday.
    Please, if you're a voter in the UK, please VOTE.

  30. I stayed up long enough for Rees-Mogg, not long enough for Truss.

    How 'bout you?

  31. I'm an expat abroad and my ballet in UK election did not come in time but my previous constituency was Islington North and this is who I would of voted for had they not been so slack in sending my ballot. In my eyes if this man had become Prime Minister in 2019, we would of had a better brighter Britain instead of the sad state affairs that Boris left us with. Islington North support our brilliant and honest local MP Jeremy Corbyn. #jeremycorbyn
