@mrjamesob Think Health is a devolved matter in Scotland, have you heard advise from @scotgov re #COVID2019?

[Russ In Newbury @RussInnewbury]

The depths that some people will steep to surprises me. Have they no soul or sense of compassion!

@DeborahMeaden I came to that conclusion months ago, the most notable survey of voter opinion in the last month is that the vast majority of voters consider the current politicians to be less capable than their predecessors.

Im frankly beginning to wonder if he is being kept on a very tight leash because he is just no Up to it. He needs to do this and he needs to be interviewed by @afneil or we need to start reading the signals that there is not a lot of substance behind that bluff and bluster.

With the news from @BorisJohnson this morning; when I close my eyes I see #SirHumphrey at the opposite side of the Cabinet Table uttering the phrase 'A courageous Decision Prime Minister'! #brexitcoup

Thursday- it’s OK to start thinking of the wind down to the weekend. For me that will start with @RustyAndBungle Breakfast Show on @KennetRadio tomorrow 7:00am - not to be missed #KeepItKR.

Really nice to see a hedgehog in the garden today #natureisamazing

@DavidLammy I wonder in which of those pre-politician jobs you learnt the most about the life and views of the woman/man in the street?

[Russ In Newbury @RussInnewbury]

@catherinemep He is also the person that designed the Universal Credit system, something which has already cost millions to reform is the most ill-conceived concepts since the Conservatives introduced #poll-tax.

Happy #StGeorgesDay everyone. A great opportunity to celebrate the successes of a multicultural England and its #GlobalCitizens. St George:
His dad was from Turkey
His mum was from Syria
He was a Roman
He died in Palestine
Bravely stood up against discrimination & oppression

@adamboultonSKY @SkyNews What exactly does the “Editor at large” cover. Presumably it’s no reference to your frame.

[Russ In Newbury @RussInnewbury]

@adamboultonSKY Can you correct something you keep saying on #Skynews - it was 52% of those that voted in the referendum that voted leave - NOT 52% of population. % of population closer to 25%.

Asking for people to have a vote on the actual deal available to the U.K with its implications known is more democracy not against democracy- move away from your dogma.

[Giles Fraser @giles_fraser]

I never thought I would see the day when a million people turned out on the streets of London to protest against democracy.

@SKinnock Bills could be passed in Westminster and EU Parliament to rollover current MEPs for the 6 months to complete referendum - thereafter there could be EU elections in U.K. if referendum result is remain and if not the MEPs would leave.

[Chris Leslie @ChrisLeslieUK]

With communities due to lose £billions in European Structural & Investment Funds (ESF, ERDF) because of this disastrous #Brexit, the real question is...

why are Ministers replacing barely HALF of the funds our towns currently get through the #EU ?
Where’s the rest of the money?

[Russ In Newbury @RussInnewbury]

@Peston Possibly the most misleading bit of information - Sein Fein have not taken up their seats so that gives a majority of 7, and on Brexit there are 20-25 that are more likely to vote with the government than oppose them.
