For, of and about the government, the governed and the ungovernable.

Independent drunk tank. Funding a mystery.

Christ, yes, it's a parody.

Someone used a government-provided road to walk up to an old lady and mug her.

Shame on the government for providing the road.

This might be interesting dilemma - wondering what govt provider of broadband would do, or could do, about services on public free internet that are not beneficial to the common good, or users who use internet for grim purposes

@jayneceo @ox_voice Funny that people think this is a graph. It was just some strawberry and blueberry jam that we accidentally smeared on a white tablecloth.

It means nothing.

@thorpekj @SWWDTP I am shocked that you think your lovely Comms people could be so cold. They're lovely people, really.

@ChrispLOL @thomasforth @jdportes We have tings

@Helen_Barnard @PhilipHammondUK He screwed people over as a Tory then, last minute became a good guy

The hardworking tax payers appear to be Amazon and Facebook

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Jeremy Corbyn’s fantasy plan to effectively nationalise broadband would cost hardworking taxpayers tens of billions.

Labour's plans will hit you and your family with higher taxes.

Please check tweets for innuendo

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The SNP leader suggested she's prepared to let Boris Johnson in through the back door.

Need more space for lies

We’re going to need a bigger bus.

'truth'

[Sajid Javid @sajidjavid]

The truth is there is no private company McDonnell wouldn’t nationalise, no private investment he wouldn’t confiscate, no “limit of ambitions”. It’s about blind Marxist ideology, no matter what the cost to working people. #CostOfCorbyn

Conservatives are so awfully good when they talk about football

[Steve Barclay @SteveBarclay]

Do we want more players in the @PremierLeague from Brazil, Argentina or Africa compared to the EU? Or more English qualified players to strengthen the national team @FA? What would you rather see? The key opportunity of Brexit is that we will get to decide ⚽️

@andrealeadsom @Conservatives Andrea, Andrea. More hurt than disappointed

Robinson 💋💋💋💋 Johnson

[ChukaUmunna @ChukaUmunna]

The fact that Tommy Robinson has today endorsed Boris Johnson, following the Farage/Johnson pact, tells you all you need to know about today's Tory Party. Hard right, populist and nationalist - ugly, nasty politics.

Peston to London train

[Robert Peston @Peston]

Train from Blackpool to Preston delayed because guard was late. Preston to London train pulled out literally as Blackpool train was pulling in. Next London train in an hour. Please don’t ever tell me the UK is any good at running an integrated transport network. We are a joke

[Institute of Government @InstituteofGov]

Well, Wales was so pro-brexit, you could hardly ask them to vote for people that look foreign.

[Shazia Awan-Scully @ShaziaAwan]

There are no #BAME @WelshLabour candidates for #GE2019 which I think is pretty poor and no excuse for it in this day and age. The husby @roger_scully talking to BBC Asian Network this morning about this at the @PolStudiesAssoc election briefing @InstituteofGov 💪🏽

[Institute of Government @InstituteofGov]

That someone like Rice feels conned is a sad day for our politics.

[Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧 @TiceRichard]

Since our decision to stand down more than half our candidates for the good of this country, we have been dismayed by the behaviour of senior Conservative Party figures.

[Institute of Government @InstituteofGov]

@AndyEdwardsR14C @Kevinwhite_999 @HouseofCommons @narpohq @theJeremyVine @JeremyVineOn5 @NUSScotland Kevin, what are you on about, mate?

[Institute of Government @InstituteofGov]

@embaachu @InstituteGC @Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems @MakeVotesMatter @electoralreform @peoplesvote_uk Thanks for letting us know. We plan to sack Tony.

[Institute of Government @InstituteofGov]

@FluctibusFludd @jillongovt It's our core value.

[Institute of Government @InstituteofGov]

Oh no you're not

[Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson]

We’re recruiting 20,000 police officers to help cut crime and keep people safe.
