@RyanAFournier On no5 aren’t MAGA hats made in China? Isn’t that outsourcing?

@GregHands @CCHQPress @Conservatives Give it a week, the truth will come out and she can repost the deleted tweets. I don’t think you are in the clear yet.

This is well worth a look

@Telegraph @MichaelPDeacon Doesn’t this work the other way though, tory MPs criticising Mather’s age but ignoring Owens. And let’s not forget Mather was democratically elected, we don’t know anything about Owen and there seems to be an injunction to prevent us knowing. Little bit of hypocrisy there 🤔

[Ian Blair @ianblair]

@BBCNews Yup having those leaders was probably the problem. Or could it be that you have all taken us the electorate for fools for years and we have finally had enough.

🤔

@Gerashchenko_en I think we found out who ate all the pies.

@GreatHistFic @JudithArnopp @maryanneyarde Thats Dennis Waterman

@Telegraph If he was doing his job then getting to the House of Commons from Uxbridge wouldn’t take very long.

@thomascsoo Flowers are great, but would it not have been better for some charities to be selected and people donate the cost of the flowers instead to them instead. They flowers will just wither and die but who knows a charity donation could go on to change someone's life.

@MetroUK I bet he will be stripping down to his speedos, covering himself in chip fat and heading off to Clacton for the next 2 days like he did in 1976.

🤮

@peterwalker99 All those people in the thread suggesting other warm places ‘Elsie’ could go to are missing the point by a mile. Why should she? Why should she go wandering into strange places to meet her basic human needs?

[Ian Blair @ianblair]

@markoftheD Just 3 tiny points there:

1. I have no driveway and rarely can actually park outside my house, so no charging cable.

2. Nearest chargers are 2 miles away in supermarket car park. Rarely ever working, or have petrol cars filling the spaces as not enforced.

3. Long journeys.

New livery? Yes, please 😍

Today we’ve unveiled our latest Class 69 locomotive outshopped in retro BR Rail Research livery. Class 69004 celebrates our operation at RIDC Melton, a dedicated test facility for new technology in the rail industry.

@BBCNews Perhaps we could stop billionaires from firing off rockets into space every time they want to show off instead.
You never hear about them planting trees to offset the carbon emissions.

@KaylaChowShow Should this actually be green?

[Ian Blair @ianblair]

@Gordy_Mc1ntosh @MetroUK Same here worked from home with no issues then Brexit screwed me as the company no longer wanted to risk expanding into Europe until they knew what the reality of free movement was not the government everything’s wonderful boll*cks so they cancelled the whole project.

[Ian Blair @ianblair]

@MetroUK Hang on a minute, Boris you aren’t the boss of me.

[Ian Blair @ianblair]

@MetroUK Why Brexit??? I thought that was supposed to be only good things when we all get richer, and we all get a unicorn and a blue passport. Why would the army get involved unless it’s not going to be everything we expect?

[Ian Blair @ianblair]

@RAeSTimR In pretty sure that’s a Spanish built Buchon in the photo not a real Bf109. The underside of the nose is the wrong shape.
