Erm, maybe given the illegal gambling associated with the #ukelection, this wasn’t the best choice of metaphor by one of our local candidates… https://t.co/6UIbK2hGEC

All politics is local! At the #ElectionJuly4 hustings in our town’s church in Dorking @nadiaburrell @_Chris_Coghlan, chair, @marisaheath06 @cllrLisaScott Craig Young @reformparty_uk https://t.co/1ceNRPJdmR

As a fellow gen-Xr I loved @stellacreasy's Dallas dream allusion in this excellent, quite tough discussion about the choices facing Labour

Oh God, What Now? – the politics podcast @OhGodWhatNowPod

🚨Election Update🚨 If Labour are set for a massive majority, why are they still so cautious on policy? Labour’s @stellacreasy tells @Nndroid why the party refuses to over-promise – why Starmer won’t talk about rejoining the EU and much more➡️https://t.co/8DdZz5RHhD https://t.co/21eD6f3B4i

Never take the peaceful transfer of power for granted. An enduring lesson for all countries including (especially?) the more established democracies. So proud of my former colleague @SongezoZibi and what he and his new party have achieved.

The power bestowed on elected representatives belongs to the South African people. We must use it carefully and with dedication. We must never disappoint them. https://t.co/v6y0wKr6Gr

The future of public interest news is a challenge no one part of society can solve alone. Great discussion @futures2035 #democracy #publicinterest #newsrewired https://t.co/7GWm7aIQxs

My view right now at #newsrewired. Great discussions and presentations so far! https://t.co/dDwgbuYNpS

The way politicians and parties in the UK mimic newspapers in their leaflet drops is wild; and the how some candidates hide their party affiliations is next level. Deceptive? #Election2024 #politicaladvertising https://t.co/vYsYehwsOQ

Interesting approach to hiring grads. Levels the field?

The Spectator’s paid, no-CV internship scheme is open - and closes end of the month. Not all of our potential applicants will be on twitter! So if you know anyone who might be interested, please forward the link. We’re growing and usually hire this way. https://t.co/S0EJ7hBD1O

Oh my, the #dog references in the latest ⁦⁦@politico⁩ newsletter 🤣🐶. Well played, folks. https://t.co/Taa4asI0cs

Political pressure, conflict and market challenges: the decline in press freedom over the past 10 years is pretty grim #WorldPressFreedomDay #JournalismIsNotACrime https://t.co/CpcG6AduFG https://t.co/ZxSa29nCxd

In a world where trust in professional journalism has never been shakier, this makes the most trenchant case for why journalists need access to do their jobs, free from harassment and attack https://t.co/dWd6y4nAXn

Powerful argument here by ⁦@PINewsF⁩’s Jonathan Heawood about what we could be doing in the UK to support new, emergent local news outlets https://t.co/T1plxwvhfA

I think we can call it a day with the whole AI lark now 😂 https://t.co/VBjX7PUlld

Very sobering. If @guardian (not for the first time) @newscorp @Newsquestmedia can suffer major cyber attacks, small and medium publishers must be even more vulnerable https://t.co/jRSpXKp84E

Not the first piece I’ve seen questioning the term but some fascinating points here about whose interests are being served to sustain it. Language matters. https://t.co/HW6BdSEIKC

Interesting how a true-life drama based on a terrible injustice is the thing that is shifting policy/official responses despite tons of very credible journalism that preceded it. What does it say about story telling? https://t.co/3XGvYXGS4t

Sorry to hear that ⁦@ronderby⁩ is leaving ⁦@mailandguardian⁩. He’s not wrong about the mistakes (of all newspaper publishers) but I suspect he leaves M&G in better shape than he found it. https://t.co/heIM6qQ4Ug
