Liverpool FC, Lake District and limericks. Love the UK, loathe Brexit. It will always be Twitter.

After 6 months off it, this will be my last post on Twitter unless there is a substantial change, preferably to what it was before You Know Who took over. Until then, I'll be on braincasetm dot bsky dot social. So long, and thanks for all the limericks.

@May16L @hjoneshojo Blair is not returning to power. Parties and people change. The Tories certainly have since 2016, for the worse.

@hjoneshojo No it isn't. In an age where you can shop online and work from home it's hardly surprising that large numbers of people choose the convenience of voting when it suits them rather than on one specific day.

@Marty18497172 @Ricky_K67 Not if you want to live in a civilised country with public services it isn't. Grow up.

@RishiSunak I agree with you - but as MPs you should be taking far more responsibility for the tone of the debate. You should be trying to bring people together, not stoking up culture wars which divide our society, or blaming minority groups for your own failings.

@patrickkmaguire @Gabriel_Pogrund Yawn. Here comes the Tory press for Keir Starmer. So predictable. Clearly terrified of a Labour victory. The sooner we have a GE and put all this behind us, the better.

@oflynnsocial In 1871 the population was 31.5 million. Yet we seemed to manage to increase the population to 60 million without constant whining about immigration. The issue isn't immigration, it's decades of underinvestment in public services and housing.

@Johnny__Luk After 14 years we should be seeing the plan in action. Any plans Starmer has are better than another 5 years of the Tories. And it doesn't matter who the leader is, they are all as bad.

@Conservatives @RishiSunak Yes, and he wouldn't have to pay people to turn up.

@RicHolden @RishiSunak @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour A mixed audience of GB "News" viewers who were paid to turn up 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@RishiSunak @GBNEWS If you really believed that you would do this on the BBC or ITV and allow random questions, and an impartial audience. You're fooling no-one.

@g_gosden Trump is a nailed on idiot but why have you reposted a tweet from 4 years ago?

[Simon Harding  @goalposthead1]

@afneil If a patriot is "someone who vigorously supports their country" then Sunak and many Tories are not patriots. They support a narrow, rich segment of the country, and have left the rest to rot. Patriotism isn't standing in front of a big flag, nor having them in your Twitter bio.

@benhabib6 @reformparty_uk From the Electoral Calculus web site. I think you are a bit more than "a few votes away".

@WiddecombeB @Councillorsuzie Imagine if Jeremy Corbyn had said this. The right wing press would be all over it, as would the Tories.

@jas_mic @thelefty52 Germany have PR. That favours smaller parties, unlike FPTP.

@AnnSomers10 Ministers are accountable for policy decisions, not civil servants. The civil servants implement the decisions.
