Twitter has spent a month laughing at Johnson & Cummings

Yet here's another (12 pt) poll lead for the Conservatives

Of the last 40 polls Labour have not led in 1

Their last lead outside the margin of error was in July

What if the strategy is working?

Can Boris Johnson win back #Brexit Party voters? The answer to this question will, ultimately, determine what happens at the next election

To Brexit Party voters on Twitter

Let's say Johnson fails to get a deal in Oct & Brexit deadline is extended until Jan. Between now & then, an election is called in which Johnson says "vote for me or Brexit is lost forever"

How do you vote?
Genuinely interested in your views
Thanks for the replies to this. Just to say I've read them all

Some voters won't see a weak PM. They'll see one man lined up against parliament, judges & Remain. Downing St has certainly miscalculated but fast forward to an election & it's not hard to see how all of this is used to do the one thing Johnson needs for a majority: unite Leavers
It's the #Brexit equivalent of Braveheart's "unite the clans"
If Johnson unites Cons + Brexit Party while Remainers stay divided between Lab & resurgent Lib Dems, then it's not even close. Big majority. But of course in Braveheart one side ended up screwing the other so...
(And almost nobody in this scenario is Scottish).

Twitter seems to be banning or suspending accounts belonging to critics of the Chinese government. It started yesterday May 31th. Here is one report - I noticed a sudden loss of followers yesterday, I checked, it was mainly China critics. Twitter❤️🇨🇳 Amazing! @mouse @1GigiSims
This is happening as an effort to silence #China critics ahead of the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, which is next Tuesday. Twitter is helping China do its dirty work to silence the legitimate opposition. Twitter has hit a new all time low! 👎👎👎
One other possibility that can't be discounted is that the #Chinese government is hacking into Twitter and is deleting the accounts of Chinese critics. I did hear reports in the past, that Chinese hackers were able to get into Twitter & do that.

Faked Pelosi videos, slowed to make her appear drunk, spread across social media washingtonpost.com/technology/201…
Is this one? 100 percentfedup has been a big site that spreads fake news for the last few years.
How they have #Facebook and #Twitter accounts that haven’t been suspended I’ll never understand.
Here is another account spreading the videos

Until now, the only SEO space where AMP was kind of "mandatory" was on news: if you want to appear on the "Top stories" box, you kind of need to have your articles to use AMP. You can appear there withouth AMP, but you don't get the same visual benefits #AMP #SEO .
Now Google is bringing "Stories" (like Instagram Stories, Snapchat Stories, etc.) to search results. They just announced it at #ampconf (see ) #AMP #SEO
This means that for certain kind of queries (by now: travel, and later also gaming, movies, tv and fashion) the first result will get another "special box" called "Visual Stories" where you can only appear using not only AMP, but AMP stories #AMP #SEO

@estahthor 1. I'm now 9 years on #Twitter: Had 30 new followers per day (around 1.000 new followers per month) for years. When #Klout still existed I had 69 (pretty high, CNN was at 80 plus), I had 100.000 #impressions on average per day (max over 1 million). NOW:
@estahthor 2. NOW: #Follower-count remains flat for years (despite new followers & unfollow-tool shows 30 unfollows per week), #impressions now around 40.000 per day (60% less). RT & Likes still high, but had much more in the past.
There is no doubt that @jack & @Twitter mute our accounts!
@estahthor @jack @Twitter 3. I'm still on #Twitter because it's fun (have 3 good finance circles on here, my news & politics exchange & infotainment & fun), but I notice many smaller accounts leave (too little interactions): At the end all #censorship kills, especially on #SocialMedia.

It’s apparent that #Twitter is an unhealthy place to discuss #antiJewishBigotry & age-old slurs of dual loyalty, recklessly hurled by @IlhanMN to essentially stir up worst examples of extreme hate. 1 /
.@NitaLowey #IlhanOmar manipulates outcries against #antiJewish prejudice by twisting words & inventing stawpeople, as in, fake arguments criticizing #Israel is not “...” — when that wasn’t even the issue! She’ll accuse #Jewishlawmakers of vile charges & when ppl object... 2/
.@NitaLowey ... she will raise unrelated, FALSE issue of, I’m being attacked because I’m #Muslim. She’ll FALSELY claim, I won’t pledge allegiance to #Israel... when noone has asked her to. All to stir up twitter mob which does NOT represent proportion of real life views. 3/

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
