@HHack13433 @Mike_Pence @SpeakerJohnson @HouseGOP Please explain how Ukraine is the instigator when Russia invaded Ukraine?

@idualliance @trussliz *former Prime Minister, *former PM. We do not continue to refer to them by their job once they have left it in Britain.

@spaceLem @RedfieldWilton @PRfortheUK And likewise the SNP didn't got 45% of the vote in Scotland but got 80% of Scottish seats. Totally agree the system is broken. We need a form of MMPR with AV for the constituency seats

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

What passports ACTUALLY mean to British people is a mad panic at midnight before travelling when you realise it's not in your knicker drawer where you thought you'd left it but is actually in the draw with screws, old batteries and the school term dates from 2008.
