You wanted cheaper eggs, and instead you got a 104% increase in the price of your electronics.

[Raphael Glucksmann @rglucks1]

4. But the America of these heroes fought against tyrants, it did not flatter them. It was the enemy of fascism, not the friend of Putin. It helped the resistance and didn't attack Zelensky.

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

The Trump-Musk-Vance alliance isn’t just chaos—it’s sabotage.
•betraying NATO
•abandoning Ukraine
•hurting our economies
•weakening our democracies
•undermining alliances
This circus boasts about “greatness + efficiency,” while they endanger peace, jobs, + our way of life

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

You start a trade war. Then cry ‘foul’ when the country you’ve targeted retaliates (which is what happens in a trade war). And then you promise hell, fire and brimstone cos you’re not getting your way 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Donald Tusk @donaldtusk]

This is what happens when someone appeases barbarians. More bombs, more aggression, more victims. Another tragic night in Ukraine.

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

The silence from much of the Washington DC think tank world, while Trump is actively helping Putin kill Ukrainians is shocking. Where are all the analysts who were saying that they supported Ukraine?

@EDI_Airport why is passport control taking so long?

[John Sweeney @johnsweeneyroar]

Braverman is sacked.
Good. Our political leaders need to dampen hate, not turbocharge it.

[Brendan Cox @MrBrendanCox]

This is the right call. You cannot have someone as Home Secretary whipping up tensions and inciting mobs. This may all be part of her carefully planned leadership campaign, but some issues you can’t play politics with.

[David Aaronovitch @DAaronovitch]

1. I think it's reasonable to assume that the large majority of people on yesterday's Palestine march were there for humanitarian reasons. 2. But it's depressing how little responsibility any of them take to argue with and disavow the minority of extremists and antisemites.

[Jay Rayner @jayrayner1]

It’s already been said by many but it needs to keep being said. This is on the Home Secretary. And by keeping her in post the Prime Minister is endorsing her message that challenging the police is fine. Which results in scenes like this.

@DrEliDavid That’s Vauxhall Bridge mate

[Brendan Cox @MrBrendanCox]

Extremists exist in our society; islamists, far right, islamophobes, antisemites. The job of a government is to keep those extremists under control& avoid pouring petrol onto smouldering tensions. Our government has failed in that responsibility.

‘Dusk Moon’ is a stunning etching by @mcclure996 (Calum McClure)

We borrowed it’s title for our latest record and were delighted to tie this album in with 2018s ‘In Praise of Home’, featuring ‘Light Shadows in the Botanics’.

His work is special - check it out!

[Armando Iannucci @Aiannucci]

How about something like ‘These views are my own and not those of the BBC’ from @GaryLineker and a ‘Sorry if we over-reacted’ from the BBC? The BBC tearing itself further apart is the sort of thing that gets anti-state fundamentalists on the Right out of bed in the morning.
