@MichaelTakeMP It’s lovely to have heroes, Sir M,
Mine are Telemark, one of Sophie’s is Prune, where ignorance meets simplicity.

[Simon W @Whywickers]

@Strobe_Lightly Sincere condolences - a lovely way to remember him

[Simon W @Whywickers]

@MichaelTakeMP As my eyes recover from the Netherlands’ strip, it dawned on me, Sir M,
We need to launch a new party beginning with ‘R’:

‘RETAKE: Behind the nation leading the way’.

We just need some crapto entrepreneur with £5m to ease you out of retirement. 💰

@Nettleshippy Fifth columnist?

@AnnMile71721158 @MichaelTakeMP I must have had a dodgy pint 😉 no time for the Bosuns

[Simon W @Whywickers]

@AnnMile71721158 @MichaelTakeMP Spooky, that’s exactly what the Landlord of the Kings Arms said after I may have had one too many of Sea Fury. 🍺

How unreasonable.

[Simon W @Whywickers]

@AnnMile71721158 @MichaelTakeMP Your most probably right, Ann,
I went for a cravat & a wide brimmed fedora - ala Stewart Granger.

A tad over the top.

David Hockney has died aged 88. The Bradford-born artist spoke to Newsnight several times over the years including these two interviews with Kirsty Wark and Stephen Smith.

This is difficult to watch, it's embarrassing, it's enraging, it's shameful.

Emma Reynolds the Secretary of State for the Environment and David Hill the head of water at Defra appeared before MPs on Tuesday where they repeated the same old lie, that water company shareholders invest their money in the companies and we, the bill payers, pay them back over 10, 15, 20, 30 years.

Even Ofwat have owned up, that's a lie the £104 billion "private sector investment" is coming directly out of your pockets, your bank account. For God sake just tell the truth.

Barry Gardiner, you're a star. 👏👏👏

@MichaelTakeMP I fear Ryan is but a glitter ball symptom, Sir M,
Since Boris’s ‘oven-ready’ deal we can’t blame the EU for all our nation’s woes. It’s leading to flag wearing, poor dental hygiene & confused plumbers standing in elections.

Rejoin the EU! so we have someone to blame 🇬🇧 😡 🇪🇺

[Simon W @Whywickers]

@MichaelTakeMP @MichelleDewbs I just wonder, Sir M,
If Ms Dewberry’s return journey today was to an outpatient appointment at the Bethlem Royal’s clinic for those suffering from delusions of grandeur.

@MichaelTakeMP “1 across , 6 letters ‘Kenneth Williams’ making a secret deposit - Nigel!’

“Make a deposit but it’s a secret, Barclays doesn’t fit, ‘Coutts’ does -it’s a pun on who’s the biggest cult.
Right, 1 down, 10 letters ‘A Duke no less in NZ’ beginning with C -

Christchurch - Damn!”

[Simon W @Whywickers]

@RealMattLucas Well, that would wipe the smile off any football fan’s face.

Good morning Matt.

[Simon W @Whywickers]

@MichaelTakeMP Interesting, Sir M,
That Rupe chose to capitalise ‘NOT’ & ‘OUTSIDE’ - which is where you’ll find him tonight.

[Simon W @Whywickers]

@EdwardLeighGB Second in the nation’s ❤️ & MT to Sir M @MichaelTakeMP

[Simon W @Whywickers]

@MichaelTakeMP This is the kind of ‘cut through the faff’ policy we want, Sir M,
Straight off the shelf & oven ready (sounds familiar 🤔) for implementation.

All that’s required:
School
Are your parents well?
The cut of their jib
Short back & sides
And a decent crease in the trousers

[Simon W @Whywickers]

@jan_murray Diplomatic relations restored

[Simon W @Whywickers]

@MichaelTakeMP HELP! Sir M
I’m in a doom loop of tequila shots with Liz at the 19th Hole.

The boys are dizzy on Vimto, Dommy is on his phone ordering Dongpo pork from Mr Wu’s, & I’m not sure, but I may be trickling

😱
