@JohnHealey_MP Always thought of you as straight talking. So why prevarication on inability to send "one" ship to Cyprus in good time? As you say you had advance notice and deployed the RAF weeks ahead, so why not ships? Obviously they were unserviceable. So just say so! #sakes

@mulldog My late daughter with Athos back in 1990. Happy memories.

@BBCNews WHO ARE THEY THAT NEED IT MOST?!

[barbara gale @galeb80]

Good job I checked my credit card statement! #Santander charged almost £35 more than car insurance quote I accepted. Rang them. Said glitch on system and refund to original payment soon. Couldn't tell me what had caused the glitch or how widespread it is? @MartinSLewis

@UB1UB2 Well done to the lady calling him out. I hope the elderly lady reached her destination safely.

@KEdge23 And have you seen your latest water bill for this year?!!!!😡

[barbara gale @galeb80]

Always quite liked @YvetteCooperMP but don't think I'd be too enamoured with her Iran statements if I was still around our Armed Forces! Where's @EmilyThornberry when she's needed?!!! @Keir_Starmer @10DowningStreet

[barbara gale @galeb80]

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS YOU started it ! You finish it! One minute you tell us you have the best military in the world and don't need us! Then you do! Suspect you're happy to see our ships blown up in Straits of H but not yours! PS NATO is a "defensive" force and not an "offensive" force.

NEW: The UK alongside France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Japan expresses readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz 👇 https://t.co/KeCAbEbdWy

@bret8202 @UKinUSA Trump started it without any consultation with his allies! He blunderbussed his way into Iran waging war on all Arab allies of yours and ours. But as he says he only cares about America. Two hoots to what happens to everyone else 😪 I support your brave military but not Trump🇬🇧

[barbara gale @galeb80]

@UKinUSA But I thought @POTUS said he didn't need us!!!!! We won't get any thanks. Just more childish mud slinging! However I'm very glad to be able to help in any way our #USA military allies. They are great #USAF 🇬🇧🇺🇲

[barbara gale @galeb80]

@defense_civil25 Perhaps you should ask yourself why?!

[barbara gale @galeb80]

@EdwardJDavey It's too easy to say these things when you are nowhere near the seat of power!

[barbara gale @galeb80]

@BethRigby WHAT Bristish ships are available? Seems to me he needs to fess up to the fact that even if UK was prepared to escort shipping with "British" interests only, there is no British Naval force to do it!

[barbara gale @galeb80]

@MikeParcej I also agree with most of the points in the letter.

@92Lucysharp After the sadness it's lovely to see some happy retired racehorses. #Fabulous

[barbara gale @galeb80]

Oh no. One of my absolute favourite horses #EnvoiAllen So so sad for everyone @HenrydeBromhead including former groom @Seaininmahon Sorry doesn't seem enough 😥😒😪

[barbara gale @galeb80]

@PFurls Alan King doesn't seem to have as many runners these days! Must admit I had to ensure I'd done my homework!
Is Kempton for the weights as good as Cheltenham? Always a fab lunch at Cheltenham!
Be nice if The Jukebox Man won today! But I will just enjoy it on TV here at home.

[barbara gale @galeb80]

@PFurls Just spied you interviewing Kim Bailey in the background on ITV Racing. Enjoy Cheltenham. I'm not well enough to attend these days. Didn't enjoy all the fallers yesterday. Let's hope better today.
