Chaos is more than just a theory round here.

BBC News is very much a curate's egg. (Good in parts.) Clive Myrie is a cool cat and one of the good parts.

You can't move from ordinary speech to this level of baroque bureaucratic fantasising in one go. It takes years.

[Philip Ardagh @PhilipArdagh]

Unbelievable letter from school regarding coronavirus measures. Unbelievable.

[Wilbur Mudd @politicalfubol]

The BBC in particular are giving Keir Starmer a level of exposure (presedential addresses, immediate rebuttal) that Corbyn never got.

The question is, was Corbyn invited to do this stuff and declined, or did our national broadcaster actively cut him out of the debate?

[Helen Roberts @helentheroberts]

Fiona Bruce on @BBCNews casually talking about careers being “low skilled”. About time we spoke about these jobs as being “low paid” rather than assuming skills levels are necessarily low!

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

If reports are accurate that Rishi Sunak is about to announce an extension to the furlough scheme but cutting wage support to 60% without employers making up difference it means the government has adopted the basic principle of a time old policy of starving workers back to work.

[Irene Obrien @scotlabnurse7]

OMG can't believe Fiona Bruce has just said on @BBCNews lower skilled workers like security guards. Bus drivers and Carers,.... HOW dare she,.. Yes low paid but def not low skills. Carers are highly skilled and yes I do agree this group are high risk of covid. Essential workers

look Raab I hate to be the boring details guy but if you keep on ramping up the ramping up you’re gonna run out of fucking ramps

[Raphael Dogg @raphaeldogg]

Clearly someone in Labour thought it was wrong that the report be hidden, and leaked it. And it is him/her, rather than the people who betrayed us, that the leadership is hunting down. Let's all think on that @Keir_Starmer @AngelaRayner

@eddo75 Damn hooky door handles in my house are at precisely the height of my belt loops with predictable results.

[Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV]

BREAKING: Donald Trump announces that he is halting all US funding of the World Health Organisation.

In the middle of a pandemic, that’s a pretty astonishing move.

[Clare Hepworth OBE @Hepworthclare]

Just heard Osborne on #R4 defending his "austerity" policies and claiming that it was his management of the economy that enabled the country to respond so effectively to the #coronavirus crisis.
Words fail me, I am rendered speechless !

[Paul Johnson @paul__johnson]

Q: Is Govt preparing to take a stake and bail-out Virgin Atlantic? Bearing in mind Richard Branson sued NHS and is a tax exile.

BBC reacts to Tory boycott of R4 – by banning Labour https://t.co/OYuBqg8Dm4

[🌹Karl (Disenfranchised)🌹 @karl_trotsky]

The Tories systematically cheat in elections, says their own campaign manager. C4 investigation turns up hard evidence but will anything be done? 😡 https://t.co/IQPPgFBusF

“succubus” - (a female devil who has sex with sleeping men) should have no shortage of clients in the UK.

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

Wow. @acgrayling calls the Home Secretary @patel4witham a “succubus” - a female devil who has sex with sleeping men.

Yeah, cos that’s an acceptable way to talk about a female MP and Minister, isn’t it?

*Waits for the Left/Remain outrage over this*

*silence*

Why does she look the same as the one last week?

[Reece Dinsdale @reece_dinsdale]

I don’t want to live in the same world as this person.

@No__nononono_ @DanielHewittITV Cummings during his time in Moscow, while remaining completely right wing, got possessed by the revolutionary angel.

It rhymes!

"We want rehabilitation, now that would be amazing
But Grenfell victims still need accommodation
And we still need support for the Windrush generation."

I saw her LIVE at Bristol Colston Hall in the '60s along with Muddy Waters, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee, Cousin Joe Pleasant and Rev. Gary Davis! I remember her glissandi and her ivory white high heels moving in time.
