@AllisonPearson Beyond me how anyone can honestly contemplate this angry, egotistical, twisted little man is the answer to any of our woes …

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.

It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.

But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

[Lucy Powell MP @LucyMPowell]

FYI - a parliamentary standards inquiry continues whether you’re in the House or not …

[worriedmum @macnkane]

@IsabelOakeshott @reformparty_uk @Nigel_Farage So what? It changes nothing

[worriedmum @macnkane]

@stoolpresidente No - because the outrage was never about how Balogun’s presence might influence the outcome. The American take on the whole matter has exposed your ignorance of international sport and football in particular.

@Pearlakin @politvidchannel Utter tosh

@tomhfh Not necessarily born, but being raised, lived, worked there

@MattWalshBlog Eh? 250k?? Where are you getting that number from?

@timothy_stanley Have you never met a teenager?

[Tom Harwood @tomhfh]

Sorry, bright 13/14/15 year old. You can’t watch that interview with Jared Isaacman, or that explainer of orbital mechanics from Scott Manley.

But don’t worry, we haven’t banned YouTube Kids!

Here’s Baby Shark instead.

I’m not a tech person so maybe this is dumb but isnt it easier to create a “children’s phone” at point of sale so you get a phone with built-in restrictions rather than asking every single person in the country whether they are over 16 or not through hackable digital ID software?

@writtenoff_mufc It pushes the dangers of the online world back into the real world. Bullies will still bully, predators will still predate. Now it will be face2face, away from home. And loneliness.

[worriedmum @macnkane]

@JayDarkmoore Pushes the dangers of social media into the real world. Bullying & predating will still happen, just well away from parents gaze, in secluded parks or some random mates of a mates house. Many kids will be suddenly very very lonely. And it removes so many opportunities.

[worriedmum @macnkane]

@JoaniReid You’ve got this wrong. An outright ban pushes the dangers of social media into the real world. Bullies will still bully, predators will still predate. Just now it will be face to face, on some street well away from parents gaze or in some random ‘mate of a mate’s’ house.

@scottygb Her comment about royal mail needing to het their act together was also gold

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

The last sentence is the real meat and potatoes of this.

What's being promoted as a 'social media ban for children', is really an ID check for every adult.

@toryboypierce @theSNP It’s just a pretendy bank holiday, ill thought throrough and designed to score a few brownie points before the election. Barely anyone bar a few NHS admins & some civil servants are actually off.

@iain_masterton There was an election

@DPJHodges My 15yr olds snapchat is full of clueless kids praising Lowe - in Scotland ffs. Reform has somehow taken the slot of virile, edgy & fresh (with Reform regarded as an old mans party), a counter to the Greens/SNP/LDs of their ‘cool’ lefty parents.
