@jowilliams293 What next, a state enforced bedtime of 9pm for all children ?
The idea of a digital curfew seems ridiculous to me. It’s surely a matter for parents.

OK, know there’s a lot going on. But Darren Jones straight up lied. How is this not a resigning issue.

@GuidoFawkes The new Government advisor on ethics and standards in public life?
Minister for kindness?
Minister for Women?

@AllisonPearson @petuniasforever Who’d have thought that a Labour Government would now restrict the ability of GPs to refer patients to Consultants?
It doesn’t feel like we have a health service.

@christopherhope @GBNEWS A cunning plan by Keir Starmer to canvas for Andy Burnham thereby scuppering Andy’s election hopes?

This woman is a treasure for the uk

@DPJHodges Bang goes any notion of “dignity.”
Typical of Starmer to present today’s Cabinet as a show of support when they weren’t allowed to discuss his leadership - so sneaky and ultimately stupid.

[Josephine Formby @JosephineFormby]

@TheBookshopMan My favourite book of the year is “The Pretender” by Jo Harkin. I haven’t enjoyed a work of historical fiction as much as this since Hilary Mantel.
My joint favourite is Elizabeth Strout’s “Tell Me Everything”. Just so thought provoking and beautifully written.

[Colin📚 @TheBookshopMan]

WIN a one of the biggest books of the year: The Things We Never Say by Elizabeth Strout.

All you need to do is Like, Retweet and tell me your favourite book this year to be in with a chance to win.

Open world wide. Winner picked at random on May 20th at 9am. Good Luck!

Starmer seems to believe Labour were trounced in the elections because voters yearn to see more of him and want more of his hugely popular policies 🤔🧐
Genius 🤦‍♀️

@ARamblingRoyal What next - a decree that everyone must like her and believe he has a full head of hair and sharp mind? 🤔

It's May Day, the opening of the month which in medieval literature is the most magical time of the year - a season for love, fairies, and marvellous dreams https://t.co/0jkjHjJkXd

'When merry and hot is the day,
And away be winter showers,
And every field is full of flowers...'

[Eleanor Parker @ClerkofOxford]

Tonight is the eve of May Day, an especially magical time of year. It's said that on May Eve in Herefordshire, early in the last century, 'folk used to put trays of moss outside their doors for the fairies to dance upon'.

[they call me Pencils @CindySinor]

My colored pencil drawing of a glass marble. Does anyone know what this kind of marble is called?

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

Starmer’s allies are claiming it has been categorically disproved that he mislead parliament. By my count there are 7 separate provable occasions where he knowingly mislead the House, the country or broke the Ministerial code over Peter Mandelson. I’ll list them in detail later.

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

This is a fair analysis to be honest.

[Josephine Formby @JosephineFormby]

@zatzi @LesleySinclai18 This should be getting much more coverage. He seems to lurch from scandal to scandal without being brought to account.

'Enfors we us with all our might
To love Seint George, our Lady's knight.'

[Westminster Abbey @wabbey]

On #StGeorgesDay, here's our stained glass window depicting England's patron saint slaying the dragon.

The window was designed by Hugh Easton and is dedicated to the memory of Westminster citizens killed during the Second World War. It was unveiled by Princess Margaret in 1948.
