@IG_Hughes Not one to gloat (usually), but we surprised ourselves by getting max scores on five of the first six rounds and first place overall.

@Bob__Hudson @rwilliams1947 ...and if I recall correctly, one of the shortest, at around 90 seconds.

@AnnCleeves very timely

[Martin Barrow @MartinBarrow]

Ofsted has published new data showing how children's homes have become a huge, money-spinning business. If you are squeamish about these things, look away now. 🧵

I see that the Codeword in Saturday's Guardian includes the word WOKE.

[Roger Cornwell @RCornwell]

@Silvia19865 No. Pension contributions were exempt from tax so your premise is incorrect. Pensions should be taxed. Mine is.

[Roger Cornwell @RCornwell]

@Bob__Hudson Certainly not, Bob!

[Roger Cornwell @RCornwell]

@haghouse I agree with you @haghouse. I might add that when I was working my pension contributions were exempt from income tax, and I guess yours were too. Which is why it is entirely fair that our pensions should be liable for income tax.

@Bob__Hudson I've seen that too Bob. I hope it comes to nothing but even so it means police resources will be stretched further just in case.

RETWEET if you agree that @Nigel_Farage has done great damage to the UK.

I have a small following but I’d really appreciate if any of you can retweet the poster for my husband’s debut #edfringe show. It’s a brilliant show with stories jokes & music about the adventures of being a folk singing comedian when you’re blind. @MichaelRosenYes can you help?

@kmflett I don't think I ever saw him at the Gala.

[Roger Cornwell @RCornwell]

@kmflett all set up for tomorrow's #DurhamMinersGala

[Roger Cornwell @RCornwell]

@cmforr Same on Channel 4. But Jacob Rees-Mogg losing, and by 5,000 votes, is real.

[Roger Cornwell @RCornwell]

Looking down the detailed results I am struck by the number of Green candidates who have come higher than the LibDems. The Green candidate in South Shields got 15% of the vote.

[Roger Cornwell @RCornwell]

@kmflett @jeremycorbyn ... and I have also got a 'top fan' badge for our local Tory candidate. It seems you can also get a badge for heckling.

[Roger Cornwell @RCornwell]

What I'd like to know is whether any Tory MPs put money on an autumn election, or did they all bet on 4th July?

Happy 88th birthday Ken Loach. Still a socialist beyond Labour's Broad Church https://t.co/v3Xl4q2sQx via @kmflett

@MeadowcroftRob @ConsPost The Advertiser is the weekly local paper for the north of County Durham. The same quotes are on the Northern Echo website: https://t.co/u714FTHpPt

@Bob__Hudson Surely not!
