Record numbers of asylum seekers are arriving in the UK on small boats, and it's mainly because of Brexit https://t.co/21Lip6WSd1

@virginmedia - the junction box on the outside of my house is damaged and the components inside are exposed to the weather. Consequently my broadband won't work, but there is no apparent way to communicate this to you. Happy to DM details.

@elonmusk You have completely lost it.

@seetickets @glastonbury It's the hope that kills you. What a miserable experience.

Liz Truss? I can't see her making it through to spring. Place your bets for the next Tory Leadership Context in May.

What on earth are you talking about, @grantshapps? 99% of cyclists are incapable of breaking the speed limit 99% of the time. Even a good club rider on a top-end bike would be delighted to sustain a speed of 20mph. Creating a distraction from real problems, perhaps?

More pointless #ToryBrexitMess stupidity: https://t.co/BRDIgWoB0u

#PanicAtThePumps is self-limiting. Each car can only hold so much petrol and people are driving less. The real problem is that the UK will always need freedom of movement of goods, services, labour and capital with Europe to thrive, and that has been thrown away #ToryBrexitMess.

This is a wonderful graphic illustrating the mess we are in right now. #Covid19UK #BrexitReality #ClimateCrisis

Even in these crazy times, there are still a few people speaking sense: https://t.co/SNYouVrbhL

Neither #BorisJohnson nor #JeremyCorbyn are fit to run the UK unfettered, so sadly another hung parliament is the best possible outcome of #Election2020. But as the Tories lead in the polls, you should vote tactically against them: https://t.co/tCVprwfQpk

#BBCQT has been cringeworthy and unwatchable for as long as I remember; a televised pillory which celebrates ignorance, but inviting HartleyBrewer on the show is another step further into a dark future #BoycottBBCQT

[Simon Crump @CosmicPrune]

Having already squandered his political authority, #BorisJohnson has now abandoned his last shred of moral authority with the most contemptible speech ever made by a Prime Minister in the House of Commons. I can only hope it is his last.

Why as a country do we continue to bicker and fight over something which is very obviously not possible?

A great victory for the rule of law #ByeByeBoris https://t.co/PNSDtk0T1o

So "the British people" voted to tear up our trading agreements with our closest partners, and the resulting 20% drop in Sterling meant that a lot of people can't afford foreign holidays anymore. Then the country's largest holiday firm goes bust. Go figure! #ThomasCook #Brexit

@Tad52Tad @knutsfordmayor @MayorofGM @AndyBurnhamGM @Chris_Boardman @Suzie_AS With respect, a folding bike and street clothes are ideal for a trip to the pub or an urban commute, probably not so great for a hundred mile bike ride that takes from dawn until dusk.

#Brexit is a national embarrassment, it's time to stop it: https://t.co/iYDHYh2RHz

"If a democracy cannot change its mind, it ceases to be a democracy" (David Davis, 2012). Vote Leave lied and broke electoral law. UK Gov admits that every version of Brexit leads to Britain being poorer. It's time for Britain to change its mind, and cancel Brexit #breverse
