I've written a piece on the election, the Labour Party, and the defeat for the new issue of the @LRB. Brexit, leadership, party, manifesto, press – & what comes next under 'Johnsonism'. Read it here: lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v42/

More from Williams, writing at the time in the Independent and somewhat against the force of public opinion: “The more we discovered about Mr Simmons, the more Cantona’s assault looked like the instinctive expression of a flawless moral judgement.”

Amazing piece by Rob Smyth on Cantona. In it, a wonderful contemporaneous quote from : “You didn’t have to look very long and hard at Mr Matthew Simmons of Thornton Heath to conclude that Eric Cantona’s only mistake was to stop hitting him.”

because Hannah just text me to ask "how do I make Ash's fish finger thing?" lol I am retweeting (once again) the best tweet of 2019
Quote Tweet
Nostalgia in a dish: cooked fish fingers, mashed with onion, fresh ginger, and green chilli that's all fried in mustard oil, stirred through with a bit of English mustard and finished with lemon and coriander.
Bird's Eye bhorta is to me what a tea-dipped madeleine was to Proust.

My attempt to offer an account of why Labour lost from my perspective. It’s complicated.
Doubtless it is incomplete and we all need to continue to listen to each other in the weeks and months ahead.

There are two academic approaches to the study of politics. One looks for predictable patterns within a stable order, the other looks for disruptions to that order. One is small c conservative and managerial in its political commitments, the other (mine) is transformative

The reason broadcasters are not allowed to reveal postal votes before 10PM polling day is it influences the vote.
I really have no explanation of how this is allowed under broadcasting code

Hey + remain/lab voter and former stats and informatics worker here.
Why are you pushing Lib Dems in Kensington. Polls AT BEST unclear, and the lauded new
MRP is calling Labour victory!
All other tactical sites recommend Labour in Ken!

Sarah went my school. Apparently my old history teacher is campaigning with her. With Tory Rory now gone, could Penrith and the Borders go red?! Anyone on here following me from Wigton or the north Lakes, vote for Sarah!

Here’s Dave Merritt, whose son Jack was killed in the London Bridge attack, talking to me about Boris Johnson’s response. He accuses the Prime Minister of using the attack to “score some points in the election”.

Notwithstanding the deeper structural issues with the media, let's remember that there are loads of outstanding individual journalists. The Westminster hacks have always included the worst of the worst. Dan Trilling, by contrast, is one of the very best

I won't be retweeting it - but Boris Johnson has copied my #ElectionActually video.
Tanks. On. The. Lawn.
Don't share his version in outrage - instead, share my original version.
It's us versus Cummings, Johnson, Trump and Farage - retweet this and spread the word!

This is the video the Tories wanted to knock off the press agenda by briefing fake news about a punch to supine journalists. Don’t let them succeed.
Make sure everyone knows how the Prime Minister responds to the NHS crisis his party caused #GE2019

In a campaign so far devoid of moments, or obvious mistakes, this could well be a big one.

IDS and CCHQ CORRECT to be worried here lmaoooooooooo
Quote Tweet
Boris Johnson went to Chingford this afternoon to campaign with IDS (maj, 2,438), which is interesting. Massive Momentum effort to oust him. Sending in the PM must mean IDS and CCHQ are worried.
