@lisakeb007 @JamesMelville You might be right but Farage was an MEP for 20 years and no one would ever suggest he was an EU puppet.

[Patrick Grant @Patrickgrant99]

@ABridgen Farage was an MEP for 20 years. He didn't sit in Brussels to make friends. He sat there to take the UK out.

@JamesMelville An interesting point although in 2003 the USA was a net importer of oil (10-12 m b/d or 60% of consumption). Today its a net exporter of petroleum products (although it certainly still imports some crude oil). I'm not sure the 'its always about oil' mantra still fits.

What you need to know about the now-circulating, and harrowing, video purporting to be of Al-Shabaab militants attacking construction workers at the Kwa Omollo bridge construction site in Lamu. A thread 🧵

@Mellycat6 @MaajidNawaz @ickonic @TheRadicalShow No I didn't miss that bit. That's the bit I checked. You can leave your neighbourhood 100 times a year free, in your car, on the congested roads: you can leave your neighbourhood, in your car on other roads as often as you like.

@toadmeister In Dec 21 when the scheme ended, BBC reports said 5000 had come thru the hotel quarantine system. Thats £65k per person of govt money! Does anyone know for sure how many people were accommodated?

@JuliaHB1 You mean this isn't the law already?

@FPLFawltyTowers @HarrietSergeant @AllisonPearson This is correct. Locator form and Vac Cert. Nothing else to get here. I arrived in Corfu 4 days ago. Absolutely no hassle anywhere. Life as normal here.

[Patrick Grant @Patrickgrant99]

@HarrietSergeant I landed on Corfu 4 days ago. Double jabbed. No cost at all to get here. Just your Greek locator and Vac Cert. For return, booked Day 2 for £50 and pre departure here from most chemists at €20.

@JuliaHB1 Heart breaking but at least be happy for @Baddiel and Skinner and their royalties. That song has legs.
