@mancunianmedic But you keep Twitter!?

[Dave Wood @79Davew]

@Paul1Singh Well, the opposite of woke is “cunt”, I believe.

[Dave Wood @79Davew]

@RMCunliffe These things seem obvious in retrospect and everyone knew it was a risk. No one knew quite how it’s play out though.

@derickr Immigrants... and the EU but mainly immigrants

@meolscop1978 @Dannythefink What kind of meat in the curry 🤔

[Dave Wood @79Davew]

@jonworth @ks_1968 It must’ve been a deliberate attempt to rattle some cages. Some sort of dead cat strategy? Brandon Lewis’s statement seemed a deliberate attempt to get everyone talking about it. I just have no idea why.

[Dave Wood @79Davew]

@DavidHenigUK Brexit to become a great global bastion of free trade. Just not with EU or US, which is about 70% of our trade? 🤨

[Dave Wood @79Davew]

@tnewtondunn Seriously? Is he PM or what?

[Dave Wood @79Davew]

@DeborahMeaden Eat out to help out was an innovative stimulus that really changed people’s behaviour in the intended way.

@lukasneville @OSorenson @emollick I used to file emails in a folder structure. Then I realised I never used the folder structure to find emails. A single “done” folder is working much better.

[Dave Wood @79Davew]

Something I’ve known for a while and only relatively recently changed. A single “done” folder is all I need.

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

Important finding: sorting your email is pointless. Putting email in folders wastes an an average of 67 hours of your life a year. People who use folders take MORE time to find stuff compared to searching & are no more accurate in finding what they want. https://t.co/C1XjM7Kx0l

@ks_1968 @DPJHodges So what were they trying to achieve do you think? It was obviously a deliberate kick of the hornet’s nest.

[Dave Wood @79Davew]

@YouGov I’d be damned disappointed. With you kids, that’s the only time I can ever go to the pub.

[Dave Wood @79Davew]

@JohnRentoul It makes me feel a little uneasy. It’s like Johnson is calling the EUs bluff. Even though a North Sea customs border would be technically required, he’s challenging them to say they’ll enforce it and prevent GB to NI exports.

[Dave Wood @79Davew]

@mdouganlpool I don’t recall any such warnings, if I’m honest

[Dave Wood @79Davew]

@afneil Would it be fair to say there is an over-representation of fridge right-wing views?Delingpole, Liddle, Taki. I like reading a broad range of views but prefer The Times in that respect.

[Dave Wood @79Davew]

@ruperthewison @CatioMiles @mrsweller99 @JohnWest_JAWS Can she or would she? In absence of a court judgment, my feeling is she can but she wouldn’t as she’d be overstepping her role.

[Dave Wood @79Davew]

@ruperthewison @CatioMiles @mrsweller99 @JohnWest_JAWS To repeat, I’m not a lawyer, just mucking around on Twitter throwing around the limited bits and pieces of constitutional law I’ve picked up. 😅

[Dave Wood @79Davew]

@ruperthewison @CatioMiles @mrsweller99 @JohnWest_JAWS “Know” is a bit strong 😉. It was in response to your post about the queen refusing to sign an illegal bill. My point is that the legality may not be established at that point because the courts may not have been involved. So it’s signed on the basis of opinions and advice.
