I'm standing for Greater Manchester Mayor. I'm standing for us.

Click through on this - it's a long post but worth reading. I know a lot of UK Members of Parliament follow me - I especially ask them to read this. The UK's position is ludicrious and untenable.

[Josh Fenton-Glynn MP @JoshFG]

@jcartlidgemp @AndrewBowie_MP Worth baring in mind that Norway’s oil goes towards a sovereign wealth fund while we privatised ours… remind me which prime minister did that James?

Hate to think of how many students have suffered and job applications have been ignored because the software that does stuff like this basically doesn’t work.

Apart from when city come to Old Trafford and spend the game singing about the Glazers, of course.

One of the biggest mistakes ever in computing history is making “Paste with formatting” the default mode of pasting text

It should’ve always been “Paste WITHOUT formatting”

This is the thing though, you weren't criticising his performances, that'd be acceptable, you were making it personal and snide about his size

[Scott Saunders @__scottsaunders]

No matter what Man Utd do there will always be a former pro trashing their decision, it's incredibly tiring

[Jonathan Hinder MP @Jonathan_Hinder]

This is why the road back is so difficult for the Tories.

Nearly everything they scream about was on their watch.

‘We’re going round telling people on a ban not to go’

‘I’m not on a ban’

‘I know’

Fantastic use of policing time and resourcing. Only football fans have to deal with this bollocks.

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

Govt can cut benefits or raise taxes at a moment’s notice. Give nearly 20 years notice of an increase in pension age and apparently compensation may be due at a potential cost of billions; to be paid by younger generations. Ludicrous. https://t.co/hTVHKrjiKH

The only thing Ms Mone finds harder than using paragraphs is explaining why her PPE company went bust owing HMRC £39m of tax.
