Labour set for huge election defeat in Hartlepool, internal polling suggests https://t.co/IlN2nZMQ6f

— The Guardian (@guardian) May 4, 2021

If Hartlepool falls to the UK Conservatives, it will fit into a pattern of Tory wins where home ownership rates are 50%+ – wherever in the country this is. Is this the central narrative?

This is the strongest piece on where we are in British politics that I have read in a long time. It echoes many of the points I've made over the years. HT @AllisterHeath https://t.co/LYWjwqxStf

If @CountBinface wins more votes than Laurence Fox, he should be given a slot on #BBCQT. Fair's fair.

If the pro-independence parties in Scotland win big – or very big? Debate pivots. Post-Brexit UK could crack up. All eyes on Boris and how he maintains – or loses the union. https://t.co/WTv58kvjwd

* SNP majority would be bad for Scotland's health 
* IndyRef2 in next 5 years would harm Covid recovery
* Time to keep Nicola Sturgeon's scandal-dogged and underachieving SNP in check https://t.co/FufIUd1Nb4 pic.twitter.com/pmtWTECzkD

The DUP has issued a gagging order to Sir Jeffrey Donaldson and Edwin Poots, banning them from doing interviews or debating in public ahead of next Friday's leadership election. Within hours of being issued, the order has been leaked to the News Letter. https://t.co/B9m2t992x3

For this to break the day @BrandonLewis meets @simoncoveney is seriously bad for Anglo Irish relationships. And DUP will go buck mad at what they will see as an IRA amnesty. https://t.co/aPtHeY0DSo

"Neither of the two contenders for the DUP leaderships' hands is especially clean when it comes to the protocol"https://t.co/ocQu8emzcC

This leadership race is pivotal for the DUP and the direction it intends to take. Will they go with the ultra conservative homophobic, creationist male in his 50s OR will they perhaps go with the ultra conservative homophobic creationist male in his 50s? This is finely balanced.

McCarthy said his members have voiced concerns about Cheney's “ability to carry out” her job duties.

Apparently, refusing to lie about the election results means you're not qualified for a job in House GOP leadership.https://t.co/FsiOpbwKoP

Yes: “If Cheney is ousted, Democrats will have to make the radicalization of the GOP a major part of the 2022 conversation." – @SimonWDC https://t.co/gHAsYVjXvv

History is watching us. We must decide whether we are going to choose truth and fidelity to the Constitution or join Trump's crusade to delegitimize and undo the legal outcome of the 2020 election, with all the consequences that might have. https://t.co/K8IAaZyawu

— Rep. Liz Cheney (@RepLizCheney) May 5, 2021

Not gonna post Donald’s statement today. But in it, he outlines the expected outcome of Jan 6.

The insurrection was part of a greater coup, meant to intimidate lawmakers into kicking the election count back to states that he’d been pressuring.

It was all planned in advance. /1

Trump is so used to laundering money through shell companies, he though he could launder tweets from his new blog though a shell twitter account. As with all his endeavors, it failed spectacularly. pic.twitter.com/LhSI2WJz0X

Considering the O's have never had a perfect game and a dropped third strike is all that kept today from being one, there's a case to be made that was the best game ever pitched in an Orioles uniform
