Brexiteers have had nine years to outline and deliver a British economy with less ties to the EU that is better for the country. They failed, preferring internecine feuding instead. Isn’t it just logical now for any neutral observer for someone to see if more ties works instead?

@CynicalPublius Angela Rayner.

1. Be Conservative
2. Spend 14 years transferring money from the young & poor to the old & wealthy
3. Enact cruel policies, punish those without generational wealth
3. Destroy the country
4. Suffer the worst election defeat in 100 years
5. Meltdown when Labour end those policies

Saying you would deal with Vladimir Putin by getting along well with him only means that Vladimir Putin has already dealt with you.

[JJ @tseds]

A very plentiful cafeteria being eaten front here. Whether he has set the mob on you or just denounced you, you still need to vote Trump.

Do people think like this?

[Cernovich @Cernovich]

If I were Mike Pence, I’d hate Trump, too.

Even so, I wouldn’t try to sabotage my country by creating division and potentially ushering in a potential hell on Earth not seen since the Soviet Union.

Hate Trump.

Vote Trump.

The alternative is destruction and demonic rule.

Don't get the spite around Oasis. Youngsters will want to see them because their Mum and Dad told them they were their generation's Beatles and those my age will want to see them again because of that impact.

For some context, it wasn't just really good rock music, for many ( I'll play them now and again, saw them but wouldn't say I was a super fan by any means) they defined a time and a place.

The time was the 90's, the place was Britain. The Premier League, Oasis, Blur, Loaded magazine, irreverent music shows like the Word, Euro 96 and reclamation of the St George's Cross , a Labour government carried in with "things can only get better", designers like McCartney and McQueen made Britain's clobber cool for the first time since Carnaby Street 60's days. It all exploded and Oasis were in the middle of it.

That's why so many people have wanged on about reunions as if it's a second coming and why their kids now think it is. Because it was a very cool few years when Britain was centre stage, seemed genuinely open ( lots of Europeans started working around the country which for me was very cool and made the country look and feel welcoming), and Britain was at the centre of global sport, music and fashion at the SAME time.

Music is about taste so you like them, not or indifferent, but anyone would be a fool to not acknowledge ( especially those who lived through it) their cultural significance.

They were a part of what reinvented British cool after years of industry decline, unemployment, sporting decline and a nation ill at ease with itself.

It was really fucking cool to watch football, watch live music, dress in trendy British designers and feel a part of the centre of the universe.

That's what people are tapping into, a time when to be British was to be cool again.

Not sure why anyone, whether you like Oasis or not are pissing on that.

What’s your problem? They seem lovely.

‘I have no idea if this is accurate’ - WELL DON’T SHARE IT THEN. Aren’t you meant to be a news presenter? What is wrong with waiting until something is verified?

[Oz Katerji @OzKaterji]

I think the sentences handed down to JSO activists are excessive, but watching the way people seem to think they should be able to repeatedly break the law without consequence simply because they agree with the cause is mad.

Democracies can’t function like that.

[JJ @tseds]

Yeah I mean difficult to argue with the good will that will gush from Trump’s VP nominee calling the UK an Islamist State.

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

Nigel was tremendously patient and polite here, frankly more than was deserved. If Trump wins, the Special Relationship will thrive via @Nigel_Farage . Suck it up!

[Cjh @cjhhhh21]

Has anyone done any studies to find out what the 65+'s are all angry about? They lived through the most properous times we've ever seen, are all on huge pensions sitting in houses they bought for £20k now worth 100x that, what the fuck are they all so bitter about?

[JJ @tseds]

This take is ludicrous.

The conservative party essentially declared war against the young and were bribing pensioners to vote for them through the absurd ‘quadrulple’ lock.

Now a government comes in committed to supply side housing reform and it is all ‘THINK OF THE CHILDREN’

[Sophie Corcoran @sophielouisecc]

Young people may as well leave Britain under labour

No hope of owning a home as migration will spiral.
No point owning a business or working as you’ll get taxed to death

No growth, no hope, no vision

Just pointless woke shite

[James O'Malley @Psythor]

Really worried I'm going to turn into a mindless hack cheerleader for this government if they keep doing all of the things I want.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

An Attorney General who is a genuine heavyweight silk with decades of experience in domestic and international public law? Somebody chosen on the basis of legal acumen and merit rather than their willingness to tell the Prime Minister whatever he wants to hear?

Well I never.

[Dave Tickner @tickerscricket]

Cowardly of Just Stop Oil to do this Stonehenge stunt at a time they knew Jonny Bairstow would be out of the country.

[JJ @tseds]

‘Eminem’s “Guess who’s back”’ 🤦

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

Incredible! Look at that turnout.

Nigel Farage arrives at a rally in Clacton to Eminem's "Guess Who's Back" and fireworks.

Can you imagine any other UK politician creating this level of excitement? Nope. Me neither.
