@SkyHelpTeam Terrible issues with broadband today. I can’t get through on the phone and I am losing income as I work for myself and from home and have virtual sessions all day. Please please sort ASAP. It seems I am not the only one.

Brexit is now, in a majority of voters minds, linked with high interest rates, trade friction, travel friction and general incompetence. The reality may be more complex, but that doesn’t matter - it’s about perception, and the perception is that Brexit is not only a failure but a liability. And there is more pain to come. This is why in my view, coupled with demographic change, it is inevitable that we will soon begin the process of rejoining the single market and customs union no matter what Labour or the Conservatives say at the next election. This irresistible pressure will probably split the Conservative Party, which is ironic because Cameron’s only strategic aim in calling the referendum in the first place was to placate fringe elements of the Party.

Huge shout out and a very big thank you to Miranda from @pret in Shrewsbury for being so kind this morning and recognising we were having a stressful day. If you hand out gold stars to your team members Pret, Miranda definitely deserves one! ⭐️ #pretshrewsbury #pret #thankyou

BBC interviewer: "If Gary Lineker had said to Suella Braverman, 'I support your migrant policy. I back it. It is brilliant.' Would you have removed him from air for that?"

BBC Director General Tim Davie: "I'm not going to get into hypotheticals..."

@Channel4News Seems only sensible for the rest of the UK to follow suit @RishiSunak, don’t you think? Surely we all deserve the same privilege? #RejoinEU

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

Yes @RishiSunak privileged access to the EU single market is unbelievably exciting… and ALL Brits deserve to regain it some day soon !

#rejoin

Boris Johnson wants Ukraine to enjoy the wonders of the EU Single Market.
Rishi Sunak wants Northern Ireland to enjoy the wonders of the EU Single Market.
You would have to be a Special Kind Of Stupid to then deny the Single Market to Great Britain, wouldn't you?

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

Hi @RishiSunak - any chance London could get that special access to the EU single market?

[Victoria Handbury-Madin @victoriamuses]

Words fail me. Speechless and utterly furious.

[Femi @Femi_sorry]

Absolutely F*****G INCREDIBLE!

Rishi Sunak just spent 2 minutes boasting about how Northern Ireland is the "most exciting exciting investment zone on the planet" because it has full access to the UK and EU market...

You know... like we did before Brexit!

🤦🏻‍♀️ #RejoinEU

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

Rishi Sunak tells #PMConnect that NI is “world’s most exciting economic zone" b/c of access to both GB and EU markets. Earlier he said this "very special position" makes it "incredibly attractive" place to invest. This is, of course, the status *whole* UK had before Brexit 🤔

[Victoria Handbury-Madin @victoriamuses]

Has Nigel Farage miraculously forgotten that he campaigned for Brexit?! 🤦🏻‍♀️ We said this would happen. Sadly we’ve been proven right #RejoinEU

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

There is now an exodus of young, talented people to Italy and Portugal. The 1970s brain drain is back. Tory party is totally useless.

Retweet if you think big media channels have a responsibility, when women are dying every three days from misogyny and male violence, not to legitimise and embolden abusive misogynistic views.

ITV should fire Jeremy Clarkson.

[Victoria Handbury-Madin @victoriamuses]

I am utterly disgusted by @JeremyClarkson’s comments. The fact that there are people openly defending him is horrendous. Where is the empathy? What happened to #BeKind? I can’t begin to imagine how Meghan Markle must be feeling. She has done nothing to deserve this.

[Dom Joly @domjoly]

Literally gobsmacked at the utterly vile and disgusting comments written about Meghan Markle by Jeremy Clarkson in the Sun. What an utter piece of trash he is…what is it with these type of men that triggers them so?

[Femi @Femi_sorry]

Have Harry & Meghan ever actually hurt people in the UK?

Have they ever deprived poor kids of school meals? Cut people's benefits? Sent covid patients into care homes? Crashed the economy?

So why is there MORE hatred for them than the politicians who did?

@mosseri @instagram Can’t we just use hastags to find the accounts that interest us? Why recommendations? I absolutely hate it.

[Victoria Handbury-Madin @victoriamuses]

@mosseri @instagram Also can we please choose a white background if we want one? I hate the black!!

[Victoria Handbury-Madin @victoriamuses]

@mosseri @instagram What I think, Adam, are that the changes are horrendous. I always loved Instagram because it was about photos. Please listen to us and make Instagram great again.

This is Brexit

[Victoria Handbury-Madin @victoriamuses]

Just three headlines from the right-wing press about the completely unavoidable issues we are seeing in Dover. Not due to the French - entirely due to Brexit. Without the complete omnishambles that is Brexit there would be no issue. I am not gloating, I am furious #RejoinEU

[Victoria Handbury-Madin @victoriamuses]

@themodernparent @instagram How did you get rid of it?! It’s awful! (But, as you say, the ‘benefit’ is that I am not scrolling through Instagram anymore!).
