@rcolvile But she’s mispronouncing it. Her husband may have misled her about how Badenoch had always been pronounced, dunno. That’s between them. But why should everyone else play along?

@supertanskiii Mmm, ageist misogyny, lovely stuff.

[Simon Wilson @SimonWilson2021]

@JohnOBrennan2 This very common formulation is just acknowledging that there may have been closeted gay PMs isn't it? Why is it so annoying?

[Simon Wilson @SimonWilson2021]

@afneil Given atrocious quality of UK coverage of European news it's very hard to understand exactly what is going on. What is? What's driving the protests/violence? Thanks

[Simon Wilson @SimonWilson2021]

@iancowie I see your piece is paywalled, but if you're talking about the Dutch tech boom then surely the vast majority of UK investors will have exposure through tech funds / global funds...

@Dannythefink @RossMcCaff Because only successful rock musicians should have views on whether Winston Marshall is a sensible/illuminating guest to appear on Newsnight? I don't know Ross McC's work or whether you two have some previous, but to call his tweet "pathetic" seemed weirdly intemperate. Imho.

[Simon Wilson @SimonWilson2021]

@Dannythefink @RossMcCaff Yes! Come back mister Metro journalist when you’ve mastered the banjo! Until then your views on embarrassing Newsnight line ups ain’t worth nuttin. Got it.

[Simon Wilson @SimonWilson2021]

@MrJohnNicolson Yeah, except it's not actually odd at all, is it, given the unsual circs of Britain and its constituent parts. Otherwise, cool tweet.

[Simon Wilson @SimonWilson2021]

@keiranpedley All interesting stuff but your firm is an outlier at both ends, yes? Aggregate put tories up from 17 to 20 y on y

[Simon Wilson @SimonWilson2021]

@MattChorley @MarkSeddon1962 Matt, I watched Newsnight for decades when it offered foreign reportage and multiple specialist reporters doing indepth domestic investigations. I still watch and enjoy it now it’s a fancy chat show. It’s not elitist to notice that it’s now a totally different product and offer.

@eggsbened PS Just looked at your timeline and see that you have given your Martha. Wowser! Congratulations

[Simon Wilson @SimonWilson2021]

@eggsbened Interesting, thank you. Yes absolutely a risk that George plays Martha’s version of him. In a rare bit of forward planning I have tickets. Can’t wait.

@tom_peters @alvinfoo The original research said nothing about “body language”, rather facial expression. It related to quite narrow and defined kinds of communication, and Mehrabian famously objected to people over interpreting his work and over claiming for it.

[Simon Wilson @SimonWilson2021]

@ShippersUnbound @Doylech Tim you know this isn’t true (I assume)

[Simon Wilson @SimonWilson2021]

@ShippersUnbound @Doylech This is just silly. Anyone who campaigns (or shills, since it’s an opponent of ours and we have a fancy vocab) for the Palestinians can only be doing it because they hate Jews? News to me. You’ve let emotion cloud your judgment, and I, a regular reader, think less of you.

[Simon Wilson @SimonWilson2021]

@lib_thinks I mean sort of fascinating, and sort of wildly speculative and at times a bit silly

[Simon Wilson @SimonWilson2021]

@haveigotnews Even without the screw up of posting this on the day his dad died (assuming inadvertently / incompetently rather than maliciously) this is still a painfully lame gag, chaps.

[Simon Wilson @SimonWilson2021]

@afneil Social Dems have been at just above or below 30% since 2010. This election entirely in line with that. The story here is the fall for the far-right. Your first tweet seemed to reflect that; your second not so much.

[Simon Wilson @SimonWilson2021]

@afneil Politico need a better calculator. Those figs are very out of date. 27 lab 24 ref 20 con is current average, including the dodgy find out now figs.
