You can choose whatever name you like for the two types of government.

I personally call the type of government which can be removed without violence "democracy", and the other "tyranny".

@Ghillie_Dubh @SadiqKhan Less than 10, probably.

@Sandbach “Disgrace” is quite a tame descriptor for someone so determined to undermine Brexit.

And playing the gender card is never a good look.

The ordinary average voter, left and right, is more likely to be amused than appalled by these quotes.

Fun times ahead.

here's a list of the things Sarah Vine is smashing up in an incandescent rage at this very moment:
a £331 Chinon armchair
a £493 Manchu cabinet
a £134.50 pair of elephant lamps
a £750 Loire table
a £432 birch Camargue chair
a £238.50 birdcage coffee table

@JAKKLomond @KingOfWrong @mollygiles2015 @Jeremy_Hunt @theresa_may That was also true of Javid and Gove. And Stewart, obvs.

Haven’t checked the others.

It’s a thoroughly worthless party, full of fools, knaves and cowards.

Boris can’t be trusted either, but he’s our best hope this side of a general election.

@frankotron @Asclepius81 @DanielJHannan @michaelgove “out”

[Suboptimal Planet @SuboptPlanet]

@DanielJHannan @michaelgove The two MPs most responsible for the mess we’re in are @theresa_may and @michaelgove.

He’s a faux-Brexiteer and now a fully paid up member of the green blob. I don’t know what happened to him, but something went very wrong.

The talents he has are the kind we can do without.

[Suboptimal Planet @SuboptPlanet]

Hannan is at it again.

Expect glowing praise for @jeremycorbyn when #MagicGrandpa finally retires.

@ToiletSeatBecky @Holbornlolz Treating @BBCNews with the respect they deserve.

[John Redwood @johnredwood]

The UK will not be less influential once we leave the EU. We will regain our vote and voice in world bodies where the EU currently dictates to us

[Suboptimal Planet @SuboptPlanet]

It would have been electoral suicide for MPs to exclude Boris from the final two. Thankfully their instinct for self-preservation won out over their desire to Remain.

Lovely to see @RoryStewartUK & @michaelgove rejected. They exemplify the worst traits of today’s @Conservatives.

@tnewtondunn @GuidoFawkes Gove. Brexiteer. #LOL

[Suboptimal Planet @SuboptPlanet]

@sajidjavid Why?

The same money goes much further in other countries, closer to the problem areas.

There’s no good reason to bring them here, or anywhere else with high food and housing costs.

[Suboptimal Planet @SuboptPlanet]

@Zobyismyname @WinterfellT No thanks.

EEA/EFTA might have been a reasonable transition plan three years ago, but we’ve waited long enough.

We need a clean break, and we need it by 31 October.

[Suboptimal Planet @SuboptPlanet]

@GuidoFawkes Erm. They do it for the same reason the rest of us do?

[Harriet Sergeant @HarrietSergeant]

A really good question. How hard is it to install CCTV on one tube line? Why is Khan not on top of this?

[flo jack @flojack300]

@JGBartholomew @SuboptPlanet There has been no response by BBC to simple questions. How did they choose these questions by these questioners? Out of all the suggestions they received - why were the questioners almost all specifically not Tory voters/ members?

Torys to question Labour leadership campaign?

@Peston @tom_watson Good news for @brexitparty_uk
