@mariellaf1 @TimesRadio Used the car sleeper from Toulon to Paris when children were small. Whilst waiting on platform we did not realise that the platform had changed until we saw our car on the train leaving the station!! Got later sleeper train which overtook car train and arrived in Paris earlier.

@BBCNews Why has nobody asked the DUP and the ERG representatives the simple question 'what would they prefer, a hard exit on March 29 which will inevitably result in a hard border, or a negotiated exit with a backstop which everyone is saying will not happen?'

[Lord Sugar @Lord_Sugar]

Who agrees with me that a lot of people who voted in 2016 on the withdrawal from the EU did not in hindsight know what they were voting for . Now they realise we are in deep sh.. The people we are negotiating with did not ask for us to leave so why should they make a deal easy

#easyjet just checked flight on tracker 1 hour delay. So why do boards in Nice not show a delay causing people to que for over an hour. Communications need beefing up 😡

@RGS_IBG @nicholascrane @LatymerUpper Great talk, so much clarity, humour and wisdom. I now realise how, by looking back over 10000 years of the British landscape, lessons for the future can be learnt.
