I am wishing Brexiteers the very best of luck, and genuinly hoping Remainers are proven wrong because despite differences, we all want what is best for this country. No doubt the fight to re-join the EU will begin again and I will be part of that but not today for me at least.

[Mark Wallace @wallaceme]

Important by @sundersays - despite commentariat snark and politicised attempts at offence-taking about the 2022 Festival of Britain, most people quite like the idea, across political and geographical divides. There's an opportunity to bring people together https://t.co/8xTHOf5CDj

[Tickle @MrTickle3]

This would be consistent with my observation that comtemporary extremism is all about imitating and inciting each other across the political spectrum so the left's 'culture war' is related to the nationalism and even Trump trying to empower Britain First with his asinine Tweets.

Re. Whip up culture wars

Always accuse your opponents of exactly what you are guilty of but who ennobled the #regressive head of the MCB just after the Iraq war? One can only wonder what exactly the deal was but it certainly seems it wasn't just Muslims in Iraq Campbell screwed.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

I hope No 10 power couple Dougie Smith and Munira Mirza feeling a little bit anxious today. Paid at public expense to whip up culture wars to help the Lying Charlatan divide and rule. Looks like they may have underestimated the potential of popular footballers with principles

[Tickle @MrTickle3]

Interesting. I recall requiring a yellow fever vaccine with a 'passport' for sub-Sahara Africa but I don't recall anyone being called a fascist for this.

There is not a player in history that has not erred on the field at some point. Whatever you achieve in the game, which, I’m sure will be something special, it will never be as significant as what you’ve accomplished in filling the lunch boxes of hungry children.

Interesting insight: “Boris thinks that he and Munira are in the same place on this as the vast majority of the public, and that every time there is another row about statues or Churchill or white privilege, another Labour seat becomes winnable”.

PM's bid to avoid Tory rebellion over foreign aid cuts 'coming apart at the seams', says ringleader https://t.co/Lm0YYUYOeL

[Tickle @MrTickle3]

Very dissapointing -not only in terms of soft power for a post-Brexit UK but this cut will have ramifications for some of the world's most impoverished because the best propoganda is not propoganda. It's real.

This is the biggest news of the year. For many years. But on the same day we're cutting the budgets that would allow us to distribute the vaccine. https://t.co/PIdH5dW4ux

Heartbreaking story in #China today: the 26-year old teacher’s tearful re-union with the parents who’ve been looking for him since he was 2 years old. His father never gave up the search, famously riding a motorbike from town to town with banners carrying his son’s photo.

Facts do not cease to be facts when they are ignored and the far-left are responsible for #racist crimes against vulnerable immigrants far worse than anything I recall growing up at the height of the National Front commited by the far-right.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

If you had anything to do with the racist abuse we’ve seen on social media or elsewhere, please don’t follow me because we don’t share the same anti racist values. I challenge @BorisJohnson & the cabinet to say the same to their audiences. Time to #ShowRacismtheRedCard

[International Rescue Committee - UK @RESCUE_UK]

UK Aid cuts will leave over 70,000 people without health services and 100,000 without water in Cox’s Bazar, #Bangladesh, the world’s largest #refugee settlement.

We must restore the 0.7% aid budget to protect & save lives at such a vital time. #UKAidVote https://t.co/O7YcOacO4f

Without the political compromises that are needed, the sexual tension between the left and the right in this ever looming 'culture war' is palpable.

[Tickle @MrTickle3]

In a post-Westphalian era, it never ceases to amaze me how many individuals continue to think sovereignty is absolute and unlimited and therefore over a million #UygharMuslims in internment camps is shamelessly an "internal affair."
