@grahambsi I was ashamed to be British long before Brexit, and for anyone who recoils in the horror at this I ask you, how on earth are you able to have pride in a nation that behaves like this?

@garyportercbe @sajidjavid This isn’t news to anyone in the Conservative party and hasn’t been for the last decade, but I do admire your optimism.

@triciacookes @MattHancock How dare you speak on behalf everyone. You may not have morals but lots of us do, and we care about the fact that those charged with running the country are self serving and corrupt. Speak on your own behalf as much as you want, but do not bring the rest of us down to your level.

⚠️ Following the announcement of the delay to the final stage of the COVID-19 roadmap, we are no longer able to hold our annual conference face to face.

@Jenny43214299 @DFerreira2002 @Eurovision It’s not just about the Gaza Strip. It’s also about the ethnic cleansing of Palastinians in Israel itself. It’s about the fact that they are not allowed elections, are being beaten and murdered by the militia and forced out of their homes. What Israel is doing is horrendous.

What's worrying isn't Nigel Farage being called out by the Home Office for spreading hate filled lies. We know what he's like by now and it's not a surprise. The worrying part is the number of equally hate filled responses supporting his tweet even after it's been outed as a lie.

[Home Office @ukhomeoffice]

@Nigel_Farage @pritipatel @nigel_farage This is incorrect. None of these 12 people tested positive for Covid-19. All adults who arrived today have been tested for Covid-19

We're supporting an international survey of local governments that aims to explore the challenges authorities are facing, how they respond to them and ensure financial resilience. The survey will only take 10 minutes of your time! Find it here: https://t.co/JpcBT8SpZY

Can anyone from @bbcnews explain why this is the lead story online - and not the fact that a High Court judge just ruled that the health secretary @MattHancock broke the law in his awarding of multimillion pound PPE contracts?

@MicheJarrett @doctor_oxford @thompmusic @BBCNews @MattHancock Wow! Just Wow! This is why it’s become impossible to hold our blatantly corrupt government to account. There are just too many ‘I don’t care because I’m OK’ folks out there. 😢
