The south coast is spectacular. It should be for everyone to enjoy. It should not be a dump for greedy water companies. Please RT if you agree #dirtywater

[Chris Jerrey @chrisjerrey]

Welcome to the seaside! Polluted for you by the water companies and a government that doesn't care.

[Gavin Oulton @GOulton]

I’d like to say this is shocking. But it appears to be the acceptable way to behave in government today. We need to ensure that these people are held to account. When we pay our taxes - take a moment to reflect on where the money is going and has gone over the last few years!

Les Algues Vertes. Fabulous film. Great book too. Again heightens awareness of water pollution and the political obfuscation and links to big industry. @Feargal_Sharkey

Inspiring garden ⁦@CarolKlein⁩. I am no expert or great gardener but you constantly challenge how I see planting. What a star. Thank you.

[Gavin Oulton @GOulton]

Just had the same conversation with my wife. How does the speaker at question time say this nonsense without someone challenging him? Shocking journalism. Embarrassing @bbcquestiontime time to shape up and do your job properly !

'The fact that you can still say that on live national television...'

＠mrjamesob is staggered by a Brexiteer claiming on Question Time that he has seen migrants go 'straight to the benefits office' after arriving in the UK, and probes how he could possibly know who is who.

This just about sums up this government (they don’t deserve a capital letter).

“We are delivering…the fastest wage growth in years” says Rishi Sunak in #PMQs. It is an extraordinary boast, for a few reasons. 1) that wage growth is a big reason why interest rates are still rising, why the Bank of England will next week increase interest rates again, and why there will be mortgage pain, much of it acute, for well over a million people over the next year (and the government too is having to pay significantly more to borrow) 2) the “fastest wage growth” is mainly in the private sector, over which the government has no control except in respect of setting the minimum wage; 3) Downing St and the Treasury have been furiously trying to suppress wage increases in schools, hospitals and the rest of the private sector, because they regard inflation as THE problem; 4) even with this “fastest wage growth in years”, most people on average are poorer, because inflation is even faster.

Félicitations au Roi Charles III et à la Reine Camilla, amis de la France.

Fier d'être à vos côtés en ce jour historique.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Congratulations to King Charles III and Queen Camilla, friends of France.

Proud to be by your side on this historic day.

Tory activists in #Stoke, completely destroyed last night by Labour, are blaming one person, and one person only.

Local waste of space Tory MP Jonathan Gullis.

Imagine surviving Rorke's Drift only to be confronted by Southern Rail.

I grew up in Mid Sussex, one of the safest Tory seats in the country. As recently as 2015 the Tories held EVERY SINGLE SEAT on the council. Anyway, the Lib Dems now have the most council seats in Mid Sussex, and Labour even has a councillor in Haywards Heath. Lots of interesting reasons why, but mind-blowing.

We didn't have parties to "boost morale"
We didn't have quiz nights
We didn't have champagne
We watched our colleagues die though
We were STEEPED in death
We kept going
We had to
We kept on
So don't you DARE say your parties were "necessary" @borisjohnson
You make me sick.
