I don’t understand why people think memes of number 10 looking like a Londis is funny - is it about shaming people? I’m extremely proud that my parents had a shop. They grafted 24/7, 365 days a year for 30 years so my sister and I could have the life we have today.

Dear @trussliz / @RishiSunak the cost of living crisis has left millions worried how they'll make ends meet.
I'd like to formally invite you, as the new PM, to join me asap once you take office for a special hour's @itvMLshow discussion/Q&A to answer/ease people's concerns.
Emmanuel Macron:
"France & the UK are friends. In a world with growing illiberal, authoritarian and destabilising powers, if you [implying Liz Truss] can't tell whether France and the UK are friends or enemies, we're going towards some serious problems."
Here's exactly what Macron just said replying to the Truss "friend or foe" comment (my Eng subtitles 👇)
