Been around for a long time. Never understand why we never seem to learn from the past.

A friendship which lasted over decades. So many stories, jokes, laughs and memories. A man who did more than most know for English cricket. The biggest heart & personality. Will be missed by us all, good luck to those already up in Heaven, the Loon is on his way! @BunburyCricket

@jemmaforte Let's hope he has to wait in an ambulance que for at least 9 hours.

Worked with Joyce at the Carved Angel in Dartmouth between 1991 and 1997. She was an incredible inspiration. A most generous human being, a wonderful chef with a beautiful sense of humour. Heaven has gained a culinary genius. Condolences to friends and family at this sad time.

While I was working in the kitchens training with the superstar chefs of the day in London, this amazing superstar woman was trailblazing her own Michelin star food at the Carved Angel in Devon…RIP Joyce Molyneux, a pioneer of the UK food scene

@michaelgove Give it a rest Michael. The man has trashed democracy by trying to renage on his own EU treaty. He has broken the ministerial code by lying to parliament. He's a pathological liar. Voted Tory all my life. NEVER AGAIN till this man has gone.

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

Dear Tory MPs, please stop patronising us with the line about the PM "getting the big calls right." Sky high cost of living; sky high taxes; record inflation; record number of people on benefits; illegal immigrants pouring across the Channel; suitcases of booze; gold wallpaper...

I can't resist sharing this

[Adam Boulton @adamboultonTABB]

Personally I don’t accept that « people in Downing Street «  worked exceptionally hard compared to the millions of essential workers and others who worked throughout the pandemic.

[Luke Pollard MP @LukePollard]

I’ve now read the Sue Gray report.

The PM is a liar.

He lied to you and he lied to Parliament.

He should resign.

Jeremy Corbyn

[Patrick O'Flynn @oflynnsocial]

If you are one of the many tweeters who think Johnson an inveterate liar and charlatan totally unfit to be PM then you might care to answer the following question: how was it that he was able to become PM, make his party much more popular and then easily win a general election?

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

PM Johnson defends alcohol-fuelled Downing St leaving parties and his "leadership duty" to attend them. It's a new line -- and new nonsense. I left the BBC after 25 years during lockdown. There was never any question of a leaving party. We all knew it would be against the rules.

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

The security guards who were ridiculed by people more powerful than them, and the cleaners scrubbing red wine off the walls, knew that Johnson and co. were breaking the rules, but we’re supposed to believe that Boris Johnson didn’t. Pull the other one.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Boris Johnson held goodbye drinks in Number 10, while families couldn't even say goodbye to their loved ones. For him to now claim it was "his duty" to attend these rule-breaking parties is a sickening new low.

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

This was brave and principled. He'll receive few thanks from colleagues, who only have their eyes on the next reshuffle.
