Failed linguist. Average runner. Aspiring domestic goddess. Unskilled grower of fruit and vegetables, often found in a polytunnel.

Works both ways, Boris. Twice I've worked in Germany, taking a salary away from someone with a far better grasp of the language. Yet the country and its natives couldn't have been more welcoming. All I could offer is most of that salary was returned via Aldi, Lidl, Karstadt...

EU migrants have been able to “treat the UK as if it’s part of their own country” for too long, Boris Johnson said yesterday as he reprised the core message of Vote Leave’s 2016 EU referendum campaign. https://t.co/iGHX71S63p

Instead of concentrating on what Nicola Sturgeon perhaps did or didn't know, why don't the media concentrate on what they do know about Farage?

[Rt Hon. Will || Portfolio for Sarcasm (parody) @colder_sarcasm]

Waiting for the media to pursue Nigel Farage as aggressively as they did Rayner.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks...

HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless.

Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it

So where's the wall-to-wall coverage?

Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

[Damian Low @DamianLow3]

Rayner has been cleared, but the media ran 30 front pages in total, averaging 4 front pages a day during the peak of the story.

Farage's £5 million gift has had two front page stories.

Why would there be such a difference in reporting standards for the two?

[Adrian Edmondson ❎ @AdrianEdmondson]

So bored of news outlets trying to write the news rather than report it.

[Viviane: 🌹Labour led by Keir for me @LaindonFEMINIST]

I cannot make it make sense. Farage is untouchable. Yet Keir Starmer who is first Labour PM in 14 years is being whipped by the media, members of his own Party and the citizens of the UK he is actually helping on a day to day basis.

Britain has gone mad.

[RS Archer @archer_rs]

If only the UK media had held Boris Johnson to the standards they have decided Keir Starmer should be held to.

Respect to Zeynep Sönmez who went to help this ball kid who fainted beside the court ❤️

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

A Conservative Party spokesman says Louise Haigh “failed to behave to the standards expected of an MP", as she hadn’t thrown a lockdown party, bullied a civil servant, given a PPE contract to her mate, gone on reality TV instead of doing her job or crashed the economy

Both Cream and The Jam were going to reunite for gigs in Devon and Cornwall this year, but the venues couldn't agree about who should go on first.

Remember that the looming sense of dread you feel might not be because it's Friday 13th, it might just be that you're British

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is ‘Podsnappian’ (from Charles Dickens): blinkered, self-congratulatory, and convinced that everyone else should see things the way you do.

[Fran Chapman @FranticChapman]

Thursday fun.

[Fran Chapman @FranticChapman]

Come on, boys. Please wrap this up before my shift starts. I'm missing enough sport this weekend because of work 🏏 #EngvWI

[Fran Chapman @FranticChapman]

Fabulous night at @PoppyFolkClub with @gnossmusic - next stop @Speyfest 😎😍
