An oft asked question: can you put a tandem on a turbo trainer? You sure can! Virtual London to Paris on 13 June! 300km in 24hrs on a tandem on a turbo on our patio. All to support research into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Please support us if you can at https://t.co/KfK8kFnctg

To the guy bringing his own fan on the train this morning, I salute you!

@LouiseMensch @_CallumAnderson @RoyalMail Remember that time you were an MP and voted in favour of privatising Royal Mail?

[David Rae @DavidARae]

@FisherKitt92202 @LouiseMensch @_CallumAnderson @RoyalMail Better still, she was an MP who voted in favour of the privatisation of Royal Mail in January 2011.

I’ve reflected often on Britain’s fate over the 10 years since the referendum. I argued in columns for Remain, and was among the voices at @thetimes supporting that position. And I’ve come to the difficult but ineluctable conclusion that I was right all along about everything.

If Starmer is toppled, the outside world will look on with bemusement and ask “ when will the UK stop knee-jerking its way through politics and political leaders and seriously apply itself to solving the massive problems of the day?” I will struggle to answer this.

@LouiseMensch @RupertLowe10 @reformparty_uk Not sure vetting was the problem. Reform knew he was a vile misogynist. That’s why they picked him.

@andrew_lilico That approach worked for Vote Leave.

@julianHjessop @Londonm14437524 All good economists have one thing in common. Humility.

@STF12016 @DanNeidle A cumulative chart would be much easier to interpret and show the evolution.

@dave43law @OllieAFCB You can’t even get hard copy encyclopaedia Britannia anymore. World’s gone mad.

[David Rae @DavidARae]

@TomTugendhat @FJB19 @BufferingBrit Just checking. You want @IanMurrayMP to dictate that a mobile mast be built in Dulwich.
It’s an approach, I guess, but…….

[David Rae @DavidARae]

@TomTugendhat @FJB19 @BufferingBrit Are we pressuring the phone companies or the Labour government? You’re not making a lot of sense.

@TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Obviously this wasn’t virtue signalling was it, Tom

Tom thinks building safe cycling infrastructure is virtue signalling.

I think he’s also advocating nationalising the private mobile phone companies.

Or he’s having a bad Sunday afternoon. Mouthed off on twitter and now can’t backtrack.

@archer_rs Having read, “Surf and Turf” on the menu, you showed great restraint in not leaving.

[David Rae @DavidARae]

@LouiseMensch @KevinASchofield @TheNewsAgents “Shoddy”! There was nothing shoddy about it.
It was deliberately crafted to stir up hate and division.
Shoddy implies it was a bit careless & poorly made. It was no such thing.
We all see it and public figures on the right of the spectrum need to call it out.

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage is repeatedly heckled by MPs as he calls on Keir Starmer to end "two-tier policing"

Starmer: "His response has been to appeal for rage. That’s his response to a father who lost his son & asked for this not to happen... it shows exactly who he is"

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

[Liam Halligan @LiamHalligan]

Conventional wisdom says that leaving the European Union has harmed the British economy.

Listen to almost any Brexit debate – over the airwaves or on the professional conference circuit – and it’s invariably taken for granted being outside the EU has done serious economic damage.

Now we're in June, and as the 23rd approaches – the ten-year anniversary of that hotly-contested, era-defining referendum – this message will be rammed home again and again.

But it simply isn’t true.

@TomTugendhat That’s like saying the TikTok Terms of Service are completely pointless.
