@ChristFirst11 They look adorable

A new mother managed to capture an unforgettable moment when her twins discover each other for the first time.😍❤️

French politics with far right in ascendance make me glad we’re out of the EU, especially with other countries threatening to go the same way.

[Sir Jeremy Hunt MP @Jeremy_Hunt]

Thank you @David_Cameron

@AmandaPCraig @PenzanceLitfest Good Luck

Congratulations to ARUNDHATI ROY! — winner of this year’s PEN/Pinter Prize.

She says: ‘I wish Harold Pinter were with us today to write about the almost incomprehensible turn the world is taking. Since he isn’t, some of us must do our utmost to try to fill his shoes’

@EleonorBindman Right - although I find different composers suit different moods.

[Lucy Abelson @lucyabelson]

@RhysBenjamin Why indeed. I’m enjoying reading his book but Rory won’t fit into Labour any more than Conservative as the wise domestic staff at the tutorial my father ran used to say “Too clever by half”.

My local @TheGreenParty candidate @sianberry hosted a meeting on the “Demilitarisation of Israeli Society” in Brighton. Is it Green Party policy to take all weapons away from Israel and leave it completely defenceless against the rapist genocidal Hamas terrorists? This is SICK.

[Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps @grantshapps]

Labour want to cut defence. Reform want to appease Putin. The SNP want to scrap the deterrent. And the Lib Dem’s want to give the EU power over our military.

A vote for any of them will deliver a supermajority for Starmer, giving him unchecked power to decimate the Armed Forces.

@AmandaPCraig Too right. Ukraine’s earthly assets are the riches he’s after and entice people to fight for.

[Amanda Craig @AmandaPCraig]

Though Ukraine’s grain and rare minerals also exert a powerful appeal, no?

[Amanda Craig @AmandaPCraig]

The @BBCNews reported on @jk_rowling piece on how and why she distrusts Labour under @Keir_Starmer - and managed to illustrate it with one of the few unflattering photos of her ever. The pettiness of this is marked. So let’s fill social media with lovely ones instead.

When I was a child Lucy was happily a fairly unusual name. Alas today I’m one of such a crowd that even an unfortunately notorious cow struck by a police car is called Lucy.

@AllisonPearson The same curriculum/syllabus does not suit everyone. According to Wikipedia, Alan Titchmarsh, famous gardener, got only one GCE o.level before going on to excel at gardening courses and also now comperes on Classic FM

@AllisonPearson Means we'll have more rough sleepers in the streets and people who claim they've been driven to crime cos they can't get work.

[Lucy Abelson @lucyabelson]

@AllisonPearson Good for you.

[Lucy Abelson @lucyabelson]

@benonwine It wouldn’t have been Margaret Thatcher her alone. She’d have had the support of Willie Whitelaw and other powerful blokes in her cabinet. Also husband. Dennis was a help on the quiet.

[Agnes Grunwald-Spier @GrunwaldSpier]

Why would anybody with any sense vote for such an idiot?
