I have just opened my postal ballot and this just fell out. How is that a thing?
Is this legal, @davidallengreen?
Update!
The @newforestdc have issued this statement. I'm very grateful they have looked into it and short of other people coming forward I'm very happy to assume it was a prank or incompetence on my part.

Please share.

We need to talk about the Second World War.

👇🏼
Britain did indeed fight with extraordinary determination against the Axis Powers. British civilians and servicemen and women displayed enormous bravery and sacrifice. The human and economic cost was vast. But Britain did not fight alone.
Even after the fall of Britain's W European allies in 1939-40 Britain had India, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and many other countries in its corner. The collective economic might of the UK, its dominions and colonies approached that the of the mighty USA

Why isn't everyone an Egyptologist? I have wasted my whole life. It is simply the best.
Pre-breakfast excursion.
I mean. There are tombs. Secret tombs. Underground. Everywhere. With treasure in them.
The Long 18th Century is DEAD to me.

Thanks to you, as a fortieth birthday treat to myself I headed up onto the High Peak to search for a B-29 Superfortress which crashed 70 years ago last month.
The weather was horrific.
But the crash site- far from the nearest road and respected by generations of visitors- was one of the most remarkable historic wrecks I've ever come across.
I cannot think of a better way to renew my passion for history into the next decade than to visit such a special site, one that I would never have heard of were it not for you. Thank you so much.

Yesterday Chris Williamson MP, best known for defending some of the UK's most repulsive antisemites, tweeted the below of him signing @HolocaustUK's Book of Commitment.

Today, Karen Pollock, Chief Exec of @HolocaustUK, has issued a statement which is very clearly aimed at him...
The Jewish Leadership Council has also written to Chris Williamson about this.

"No-one in the Jewish community is fooled by those who try to whitewash their their own prejudices by using Holocaust Memorial Day as their smokescreen..."

And, as @joemillis1959 points out, the Board of Deputies has also now condemned what it has described as "the rankest of hypocrisy" from the Derby North MP:

#ICYMI: Iranian forces fired 20 rockets at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights last night. In response, Israeli military set out on an extensive retaliatory attack against Iranian targets, the largest Israeli attack in Syria since 1974
No casualties reported on the Israeli side. Several targets connected to the #IRGC & Hezbollah attacked by Israel. Syrian media claims dozens of Israeli missiles were intercepted. There are reports of casualties in Syria.
More bomb shelters opened in northern Israel
The rocket barrage from Syria was directed at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights, like the intelligence assessment that the Iranian response will be limited so it won't lead to war. It is the 1st time Israel blames Iran directly for an attack on its territory

(THREAD) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Mike Flynn will plead guilty to Making False Statements at 10:30 AM EST today (Friday). This is the biggest development in the Russia probe so far. This thread explains what it all means, and will be updated throughout the day. Please read and share.
1/ First, it's important to understand that Mueller has entered into a plea deal with Flynn in which Flynn pleads guilty to far less than the available evidence suggests he could be charged with. This indicates that he has cut a deal with Mueller to cooperate in the Russia probe.
2/ We've already seen Mueller do this once before in the probe, with George Papadopoulos—who was charged with the same crime as Flynn, Making False Statements, to secure his cooperation with the Russia probe. The Papadopoulos plea affidavit emphasized facts were being left out.
