"Using biology as a backstop" 🤡

It so insulting.

As if women don't really experience sex discrimination, pregnancy, childbirth, motherhood, menopause etc... we are just "using biology as a backstop" when what we should really be focusing on is hair, clothes and makeup.

I love this interview between Alison Hammond and Prince Harry! Such a good interview!! ❤️

[@GinaDavidson @ginadavidsonlbc]

Restore have responded. No apology.

Trump to Zelensky: “Would you go to Moscow?”

Zelensky; “It’s difficult. There are a lot of Ukrainian drones there. It’s very dangerous.”

LOL

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.

It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.

But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

‼️ Listen to BBC Today:

Q: “What is your appeal going to be to the people of Clacton?”

Count Binface: “Well… I’m not Nigel Farage.”

😂

Farage called this by-election to dominate the headlines. Instead, he’s handed @CountBinface a national platform.

A mob of 50 came into a pub, you leave, then they attack your car and it is written off but you don't say anything or claim on your insurance.

However a reporter walks up your drive and asks your adult daughter if you're home and you go crazy.

That makes sense.

[Steve Brine @BrineHealth]

So the House could vote against issuing the writ. If it did, no writ would be issued + there would be no by-election until a fresh motion was brought + agreed. Equally, MPs could amend a motion to, say, only grant the moving of a writ AFTER the Standards body has done its work.

[Count Binface @CountBinface]

Game on, Nige.

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

The Tories aren’t going to stand a candidate in Farage’s by-election.

Lib Dems aren’t going to stand a candidate.

Restore UK aren’t going to stand a candidate.

I’m told that it’s unlikely Labour will stand a candidate, just needs to be signed off by NEC today.

So likelihood is that Nigel Farage will stand unopposed by a big party in Clacton.

Many voters will be left wondering what on earth is the point of him forcing the vote 🤷🏻‍♀️

[alexmassie @alexmassie]

On this, I think Rupert Lowe is right. Farage wants a circus, so why give him one?

[alexmassie @alexmassie]

There is no need for other parties to take the bait offered to them by Farage today.
This is a nonsensical & frivolous by-election that's about no great point of principle or policy.
The sensible thing to do is to refuse to put up candidates and let Farage win unopposed.

[Damian Hastie @DamianHastie]

@MarinaPurkiss All parties should not stand a candidate, let him be returned unopposed or at worst have a scrap with Restore, then when he returns to parliament let the process run its course, with a proper by-election after Daddy is banned from parliament.

The first player ranked outside the Top 100 to reach the last eight of the men’s singles at @Wimbledon since No. 144 Nick Kyrgios in 2014.

Incredible Arthur Fery!

Amazing story of course, but what's most impressive is the writing. Not a sentence wasted. No waffle, no padding - every single line worth reading.Beautifully subbed. Laughable rebuttal at the end too.

Just had a chunk and it’s not what it should be. Tastes fatty and horrible.

[Matthew d'Ancona @MatthewdAncona]

What is so extraordinary is that the end of this collective elite delusion is still stop-go, incremental, grudging. It is absolutely insane that this trial is proceeding

@FT My 86 year old dad says this is stupid and unsustainable.

[Scott Wortley @Scott_Wortley]

the questions from here and the information in the record is quite something. is it normal for senior members of staff in any workplace (never mind the civil service) to provide information on who is in other staff groups to other employees? (particularly on a contentious topic)
