Results in the UK's #EUelections2019 defied politics-as-usual. But what about the results in Northern Ireland, where turnout was 8 points higher than the UK average? @jamiepow explores the 'other' surge. https://t.co/dMuaFjpaM4 pic.twitter.com/ooQI7mPlPd

Setting the 'border poll' debate aside, it's on Brexit where the results tell a much clearer story. 57% of first preferences went to candidates supporting both the backstop and remain. 43% went to candidates opposing the backstop and supporting Brexit.

Quite remarkable: Alliance's ability to attract second preference transfers from across the political spectrum has seen Alliance leader Naomi Long elected second, almost 20,000 votes ahead of Sinn Féin's Martina Anderson, who comes in last – having had the most first preferences.

Naomi Long becomes the only politician in NI except Ian Paisley and John Hume to win elections at local, Assembly, Westminster and European level.

Given the likely election of a 2nd pro-Remain MEP in Northern Ireland, one can legitimately argue that people in Britain might want to start paying attention #brexit : Naomi Long in strong position for third MEP seat https://t.co/a9hevgL1Ew via @IrishTimes

One day the party will be completely pure. None will disagree or voice concerns. Dissenters will be told to piss off & join another party.

And voters sympathetic to the party but not 100% in agreement with the leader will piss off to other parties with their votes as well. https://t.co/XknM84JJpe

"The idea that the Speaker of the House is calling on Mike Pence, Ben Carson and Melania Trump to save the republic when House Democrats should actually be starting impeachment hearings is absurd on her part."

In 1989, you spent $85,000 to take out full page ads calling to execute 5 African-American teenagers who were falsely accused of a gruesome crime. After they were exonerated with DNA evidence, you doubled-down on that outrageous stance in October 2016. So maybe sit this one out. https://t.co/JzONk8h1br
