The Sajid Javid #ToryLeadeshipContest launch delayed by more than an hour due to vote in Parliament. Organisers have opened the bar to keep spirits up amongst waiting supporters and press. This could get lively.
The Home Secretary’s late arrival means it will be a rush for colleagues to get his speech on early evening news bulletins. An early victory for Boris Johnson, who’s launch came before lunch.
Ruth Davidson here to kick things off, - you can follow on @Itvnews

Am at the @Nat_Mem_Arb @GMB ahead of a @PoppyLegion commeroration service for the 50th anniversary of the start of #OperationBanner - when British troops were deployed onto the streets of Northern Ireland. The mission lasted 38 years, the longest campaign in UK military history
The Royal British Legion clear this is not a celebration, fully aware of community and political sensitivities that continue long after soldiers left the streets in 2007. That followed the Good Friday agreement signed in 1998.
Very few involved at the start of #OperationBanner would have thought it would last so long - the archive pictures take us back to a very different era, the legacy though still having an impact today.

“There was blood everywhere”. Violent late night brawl in the buffet onboard @pocruises Britannia left staff who intervened injured, as passengers used furniture and plates as weapons. Witnesses told me they were so frightened they had to hide, as family groups fought.
The violence occurred on the final leg of a week long cruise to Norway’s fjords. I became aware of trouble when officers made an emergency tannoy at 2AM for security staff to rush to the 16th floor restaurant. I went too and found passengers shocked by what they’d seen.
One witness, part of a group involved in the trouble, explained to staff that things kicked off when another passenger appeared dressed as a clown. This upset one of their party because they’d specifically booked a cruise with no fancy dress. It led to a violent confrontation.

Horrific crash at a modified car meet in #Stevenage has left 14 injured, some seriously. Organisers asked for no racing or anti-social behaviour at last night’s event. Two cars crashed, ploughing into spectators. I’m at the scene @GMB
Seems clear that those attending the Hertfordshire car cruise event didn’t stay static as organisers asked. Car parks show evidence of drivers doing “donuts” and stunts before the horrendous accident.
Footage posted on social media shows the accident - a car pulling out of a side turning, colliding with another being driven at speed up the road it was joining. Spectators lining the road were hit by the vehicles. Evidence of emergency first aid treatment visible today. @GMB

Two more Johnson backers: Greg Knight and James Duddridge. That's 11 today, taking him up to 40, with Gove and Hunt still on 28
Johnson has opened up a commanding lead among declared Tory MPs (here broken down by Leave & Remain)
Even if Raab picked up Esther McVey's 6 and Andrea Leadsom's 3, he'd be 9 behind Johnson

About 75 polling units and voting points were affected and some 36,392 registered voters may have been disenfranchised as a result. #CDDAnalysisCentre #NigeriaDecides2019 @HassanIdayat @DrJoeAbah @thecableng @PremiumTimesng
This is extremely disturbing and we call on all the relevant security agencies to ensure that appropriate steps are taken to prevent further incidents of violence likely to disrupt voting and consequently negatively impact the outcome of the elections. #CDDAnalysisCentre
In #Ebonyi state, thugs burned down three RACs in Okposi in Ohaozara local government, destroying election materials. #CDDAnalysisCentre #NigeriaDecides2019 @HassanIdayat @DrJoeAbah @thecableng @PremiumTimesng

It is bone chilling to re-read this @davidfrum from the beginning of 2017. Just read it. So much of it has happened or seems vastly more plausible than it did back then.

The water is simmering. We are the frog. Nov 6 we either jump out of the pot or... theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
I'm going to quote a few lines from it that today read like history, not prediction: "Big tax cuts, big spending, and big deficits have worked their familiar expansive magic."
"The president’s supporters credit his restrictive immigration policies"
