In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump and his family have lost surprise elections, thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Celebrations have erupted in the streets of Serbia's capital Belgrade, after long-standing leader Aleksandar Vučić admitted defeat to a student-led protest movement in snap parliamentary elections. Read more: bbc.in/4BwV5ga

How did Lula come from behind to crush Bolsonaro? In short, turnout. Bolsonaro's vote share barely moved. Lula banked millions of votes from those who didn't vote in 1st round and won eliminated candidates' votes. A remarkable mobilisation. 2nd round turnout usually below 1st.

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva pulled off a dramatic comeback that hands him a fourth term in office with a narrow victory over rightwing challenger Flávio Bolsonaro, dealing a blow to Donald Trump’s aim of greater US influence in Latin America. ft.trib.al/B5TCZAN

Politics, not polling determines early elections!
British Columbia a good data point for the “don’t call a snap election” arguments with clear parallels to UK dynamics. NDP call election with poll lead, when opponents on right are in turmoil. Conditions look ideal and yet voters don’t look kindly on it and Conservatives win big.

Piers Morgan stalked, abused and harassed Meghan Markle for years. Why do people think an apology would ever be enough

What exactly did Megan do to Piers Morgan that makes him still so obsessed? it's really unsettling. How quickly he can jump attacking her instead of the actual abuser. I always find the questioning of anyone but the perpetrator... questionable.

He does this every time we lose - home or away. I stopped singing "RW's red army" weeks' ago. Absolutely criminal for this season to unfold as a (worse) repeat of last season. We've all been patient enough. It's time for a change now - and I don't mean the players. #LOFC
Wellens walking back to the dressing room without acknowledging the hundreds of absolute legends who travelled such a long way in horrible conditions is a sackable offence in itself. Disgraceful behaviour #LOFC

Elon Musk found us here. We’re indigenous to this land.
If people dislike Elon Musk so much, why do they still use the platform he owns?

Oxford University must protect its students from harassment. It must have due regard to equality and good relations. Those duties do not pause for a room booking.

The White House has become a lunatic asylum.
US President Donald Trump tells reporters that both Ukraine and Russia are cooperating with his wife, Melania Trump, and that she is "doing a very good job". His comments come after the White House said the First Lady had successfully brokered a ceasefire in the city of Oleshky.

Another reason for my excitement/smugness about this is the snobbery I got from some when I decided to buy a flat in #Leyton where I grew up. "Most people want to move away from where they're from", was one comment. Such nonsense. My pride in #EastLondon has never wavered!
