@ludgatelarry The Cockpit, St Andrew's Hill?

Oh no! Not another 2 day Test Match I hope #ENGvNZ #cricket

Next time you’re in a hideously long EU Airport queue simply shout: ‘This is Farage’s fault’.
Everyone in the queue will applaud and cheer. Even the Brexiteers will join in because they won’t dare identify themselves.

Mow lawn...ice cold beer...cheese & tomato sandwich in the garden...read book under a tree...fall asleep...perfect afternoon!

So Burnham arrives, sticks with Reeves policies, continues the big state/anti small business agenda, sticks his head in the sand about Brexit, and is far less qualified on the world stage but more charismatic for Labour members. What fundamentally changes? Literally nothing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[BelindaSales. @sales_belinda]

I think most sensible people who will be watching the ugly side-show of Burnham v. Streeting will observe the stoic, calm and resilience of Starmer who has shown dignity and patience during this hugely self-induced psychodrama orchestrated by delusional Labour MPs.

Warmer weather approaches. The Waitrose picnic aisle will, I fear, soon be awash with panicked men clutching artisanal Scotch eggs and rosé they cannot properly pronounce.

Getting a bit depressed about the UK nearly always finishing last, or near last, at #eurovision. We have such a wide array of musical/song-writing talent in this country. Surely we just need a different approach. I'm 100% sure we can do better if we put our minds to it.

If Andy #Burnham gives up the #Manchester mayoralty but then fails to win a #Makerfield by-election due to the strength of @reformparty_uk, he's going to look a bit of a chump. It's a high stakes move, both for him and for @UKLabour. Not great for Manchester either.

[Jack Deakin @JackEDeakin]

Putting Andy Burnham in parliament through a resignation, extending any leadership process to allow him to stand; it all reeks of the silly Westminster games the public are sick of.

[Steve Shaw @BishopsgateCopy]

Oi Wes, don't do it. Don't be a fool. This will not end well for you or our country.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Just as Farage is getting a fraction of scrutiny and facing a bit of accountability for his millions of dodgy donations, Labour MPs decide to bury it with resignations and leadership speculation.

The words “piss up” and “brewery” come to mind.

What a fucking shambles.

[Gavin Barwell @GavinBarwell]

Whatever your views of the *desirability* of getting back closer to Europe, we should all be able to agree that the PM saying he wants the UK to be "at the heart of Europe" while opposing membership of the EU, its single market and customs union is a nonsense

[Brexit Bin 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇩🇪🕊🇺🇦 #BrexitHasFailed @BrexitBin]

Sorry, Keir, but why should only young people have Freedom of Movement? Why can't British adults also have the freedom to love, live, work, set up business and retire across our continent – just like the half a billion citizens of the EU do? Why do your red lines block that?

[Siobhan @siobhanworld]

Here’s a bit of free advice for the Labour Party : if you want to win the next general election, make it a referendum on rejoining the EU.

[Tom Jamieson @jamiesont]

Keir Starmer has been a disappointment, but anyone calling him 'Britain's Worst Ever Prime Minister' in a world where Liz Truss & Boris Johnson exist must have been kicked in the head by a horse

So it's #London v #Paris and @emirates v @qatarairways in the #champi̇onsleague final #arsenal #psg

‘Cos Nige he took £5 million quid
And Nige will take £5 million more…’

Great Proclaimers twist on Farage’s ‘until recently’ secret donation 👏

[Andrew Hesselden @andrewhesselden]

Brexit isn’t being defended anymore.

It’s being explained, justified, softened, reframed.

That’s what happens when an idea starts to lose.

The energy has changed — and you can feel it everywhere. #Brexit
