@DavidPGCSE Yeah, teachers were so cruel in those days.

Matt, please stop talking in the name of ‘the British people’ over half of whom think you and JD Vance are utter pricks.

@john102414 @PAHoyeck @PartTimePhilo Thanks. I needed that.

@sigourneybeaver I hate it when dinner guests bring flowers. I'm cooking, FFS. Don't give me an extra job that also requires the sink.

[Paul A Davies @ELTAuthor]

@BobGolen I've seen similar info presented as a pie chart - which is more depressing, because you can see it all adds up to 100%.

[Paul A Davies @ELTAuthor]

If someone wants to regards themself as English, what's it to you anyway?

[Paul A Davies @ELTAuthor]

@GoodwinMJ Oh, I thought you were going to link to the data. You're just linking to your crappy book.

@itvpeston @Peston @RobertJenrick @KemiBadenoch All we can hope for is that one day Jenrick will look back and feel very ashamed.

@buitengebieden Amazing! I wonder how he found out her name.

[Paul A Davies @ELTAuthor]

@ArmandDAngour I must have hung up on so many genuine calls from HMRC and the like.

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

I’m not going to amplify Reform’s ad by sharing it, but the wilful misrepresentation of Kemi Badenoch - selectively quoting what she said about ‘white lives matter’ - is disgraceful and dangerous.

It needs to be challenged, including by those of us who are not Conservatives.

[Paul A Davies @ELTAuthor]

@LKrauss1 @Bratt_world That's fine in a world where stupid opinions are crowded out by common sense and accuracy, but the opposite is true. Millions are refusing vaccines for their kids because anti-vax comments are amplified. It's a problem. A return to witch-burning is not implausible by this route.

[Paul A Davies @ELTAuthor]

@Jason2bartlett Wow, you are next level stupid.

[Paul A Davies @ELTAuthor]

@opentosunlight @RupertLowe10 Hard to disagree with the words you've quoted there from Kemi Badenoch.

[Paul A Davies @ELTAuthor]

@somefilmstudies @bugsandfishes It isn't unclear or incorrect but it is a little unfortunate – like writing "I opened the back door in my pyjamas". Better to avoid this kind of thing.

[Paul A Davies @ELTAuthor]

@JohnCleese … grief!

[Nick Cohen @NickCohen4]

This is the lying propaganda of race war. It's quite clear now that, under pressure from Lowe and Musk, Farage has decided to abandon his old red lines and move to the far right.

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

Like I’ve been saying for a few days now, something isn’t right inside Reform. Their basic internal discipline is collapsing. Fighting amongst themselves. Putting out stupidly transparent and inflammatory attack ads. Mucking up the Makerfield selection. There’s an issue there.

[Paul A Davies @ELTAuthor]

@JuliaHB1 Yes, it's so dishonest. Coupled with Zia Yusuf's post attacking the common-sense NHS policy of screening black men over 45 for prostate cancer, @reformparty_uk have really shown their true colours today.

[Paul A Davies @ELTAuthor]

@GadSaad I'd rather listen to this - an honest and appropriate response from Starmer - than see Nigel Farage cosplaying outrage over Nowak's murder while secretly smirking with glee at the opportunities for rage-baiting.
