Listening to Labour newcomers, Leonard, Sweeney,etc. with their banal and dated cliches, I’ve come to the following conclusion

[Brian McHugh @pbmchugh]

@Never_Again2020 My father took part in the Cork landing (Aug. 1922) during the Civil War. He mentioned the Jewish community in the city who seemed well integrated in the city of Cork.
Never took the Irish to be particularly anti-Jewish.

@BeingScots I think I've only heard Irish people using this expression.
It was a derogatory term used to describe someone who had an opinion on everything.

@todayinhistory Orwell did not go to an 'elite university'. Eton was a fee paying school.

@Carroll92367320 @VoteEwing Like the trackie joggers.
Classy.

@gracebrod1e HI Denise,
Do you mean Margaret Curran the ex-Labour MP?
If so, why is she involved in this?

@ThatsTVGlasgow @GlasgowPam Why "shocked and overwhelmed"? 🤔

@roorooyes4 @SexMattersOrg @MForstater @BBCNews A 'disabled toilet' is a toilet that doesn't work.
You mean 'a toilet for the disabled'
OK, call me Mr Picky

@oakroyd 'Where um I ?'
Very posh, surely,
'Where um Ah?

#10 - The Tesla Ad

During a Tesla stock crash and days after Elon Musk infused $100m into Trump's political operation, the two stood on the South Lawn of the White House, posing for the cameras while the President purchased a Tesla.

Pay to play and product placement on the White House lawn.

@S_Sykiotis @HoodedClaw1974 A 'Disabled toilet' is a toilet
that doesn't work.
A 'Toilet for the Disabled' is the correct description
Sorry 😖

@WingsScotland Oh! My days!
A sweary word expression that started a bar brawls in the Gorbals when I was younger.

@joannaccherry 'Bunkum'
I worked as a freelance engineer on a couple of building sites in Ayrshire.
At site meetings I well remember the local brickies often used the expression,
'I may say sir, that's a load of Bunkum!'

@TezzaLap @BevJacksonAuth I've been involved, as an elected trade unionist, in disputes with local authorities.
I'll be surprised if this doesn't end in the usual messy and unsatisfactory compromise.

@JimSpenceDundee Hi Jim,
'Chanty Wrastler'?
Never understood why a ' Potty Wrestler' in Scotland meant a disturbed person.
(Then again, try explaining 'bampot' !)
