One final broken pledge. The end.

[Caroline Farrow @CF_Farrow]

This is deeply unprofessional and unserious.

Your policy has seen thousands of pupils without a school place, thousands of jobs go and you are snickering about t-shirts for social media clout?

Resign.

"I observe the King with both huge admiration and a little guilt. He's clearly made of stronger stuff."

As England whinges about a few sticky nights, @WilliamSitwell points to our King for proof there the heat is no excuse to lower sartorial standards 👇

When I ask our server: “Tell me about the fish and chips,” which are described as “Not inspired by Jamie”, they just say: “It’s just fish and chips.”

“Is Nigel Ng always this funny?” I don’t ask, because I can’t be bothered.

Since there’s no promise of a life-changing experience from the fish and chips, we pass on them and plump instead for a “Chinese Wellington”, which is, the menu says, “Inspired by Uncle Gordon” – a title that presumably creates a raucous outburst of belly laughs from Ng’s 10 million followers.

Many congrats @chedwardes xx

Charlotte Edwardes’s brilliant debut novel “Trouble Was” - published today - is a powerful evocation of childhood in the chaotic seventies. You can feel the ‘76 heatwave sun, smell the petrol fumes from the sticky backseat of the car, and taste the sickly pink Angel Delight

@LouiseMensch Nice try Louise but she’s the British No 1 which is based on the points gained from her results this season. You can’t dispute those facts even if her business deals annoy you. Although @gilescoren is, nevertheless, consistently very funny on the subject.

For us. For fairness. Politics isn't working. For far too long. Put big light on. Barm cakes. Putting the heart back into communities. The Smiths. But not Morrissey, obviously. People up and down this country. Decency. Hard working people. Communities. Picky teas. For our city-region. For all city-regions. Everton. Next door but one. Since 2001. Buses. Yellow buses. Hard working buses, up and down this country. Price caps. Price freezes. Giving back. Not taking enough to begin with. People are sick and tired. Wealth tax. Fairness. Tax land, tax money. Tax wealth. Tax growth. Tax growth to make growth. We're all immigrants, aren't we? No more being in hock to the bond markets. Increase borrowing. Increase spending. Doorsteps. What I'm hearing on the doorsteps. Good touch for a big man. We do things differently here. Wherever here might be. Politics of that which we have in common is moreso in common with unity than that which divides us can divide us from us. Chippy tea. Sad smile. Grass. Selfies. Fourteen years of Tory hurt didn't stop me dreaming. Jogging by the motorway. Like my grandad and his grandad before him. Chuckle. Little chuckle. Well, some people might say that. Guitars. Music. Nothing more esoteric than Elbow. I like Oasis, but I don't condone all the fighting and wouldn't like them now. Bricks. Houses. Terraced houses. Council houses. Ordinary people. Ordinary people like you and me, who haven't got embarrassing comments in their past because they've barely said anything of note. Politics, eh, who'd go into that? No, I wouldn't say I'm a saviour exactly. But the Labour Party has to be saved and I'm the only one who can do it. Milquetoast? I'm not really familiar with the term, but I like milk and I love toast, haha. They serve toast in the breakfast clubs, and we should honour Sir Keir's legacy really. Fantastic Prime Minister. Just not for very long. I love this country that I love, I'm very patriotic. But the flag is divisive, and we need to have a debate about that. A debate about whether or not it's divisive, about which I have no opinion. I went to Cambridge, and I'm not afraid to admit that. Ordinary lad done good. I've seen the system from the inside. I've seen the system from the outside. I've seen the system from Merseyside. It's not working. Not for ordinary folk like you and me. I'm a man, and I'm not afraid to admit that. But it is divisive, and we should have a debate about that. The North. People say it's grim up north, hah, maybe that's why we're more realistic up here. We know the problems people are facing, because we're the ones what's facing 'em. Regional inequality is something I'm passionate about. It's not fair that pints are only £7 in Manchester when pub landlords in London are raking in much more. Minimum wage for pints. Get young people earning, so we can tax them. Doe eyes. Glasses. I'm a bit older, a bit wiser, a bit heavier, haha. Ask me mates, they'll tell you. Don't ask them, actually. They're made of cardboard. I've always cared about equality. Sharing is caring, as my kids say. I think my wife taught them that. As PM I will do everything in my power to put every town in this country on the map. Of this country. Manchester feels half the world away. I've been lost, I've been found, but I don't feel down the back of the sofa for loose change. Not a bad idea though, in fairness. Fairness. Barrow-in-Fairness. In fairness, fairness isn't a bad idea to be fair. I'm from Wigan, me. As honest as can be. Uncle Joe's Mint Balls. Change. Believe in change. Believe deeply in unspecified change. And hope. Hope deeply for belief in unspecified change. Keep calm and carry the shopping back from the car in one go. For Andy. For us. Forever.

'It’s a magnificent confluence of timing and chance that makes The Latimer a glorious creation, touched by divine-like taste'

'Their menu is refreshingly sparse, boldly brief, ambitiously diminutive. It has the single-minded spirit of an English country pub'

'Topless men. Even writing those words makes me queasy. Yet it’s a phenomenon spreading like a virus across the nation.

'It’s one thing for builders to remove their tops and wrap them round their middles, it’s another for civilians to parade their abs (or lack of) in our city streets and green spaces.'

@WilliamSitwell argues the UK should join the French councils fining topless men 👇

@Oliver___Brett @i_horseracing @Telegraph A prose line can still scan. Don’t be grumpy.

[William Sitwell @WilliamSitwell]

@i_horseracing @Oliver___Brett @Telegraph It seemed to scan and felt appropriate. But yes I was being brave. Such courage.

[William Sitwell @WilliamSitwell]

@Oliver___Brett @Telegraph Betted is a past tense and past participle of bet, uncommon but not incorrect.

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

'I have done Royal Ascot: I’ve been corralled, I’ve suffered the journey, worn the gear, watched the horses in the parade ground, betted, watched races and people, eaten, drunk and made the return journeys by car or train'

Thus @WilliamSitwell can say with nothing but experiential wisdom that Royal Ascot 'is indeed the most ghastly event of the summer season' 👇

The Telegraph's William Sitwell 'joined the throng of drunken England revellers and quickly got sucked into a black hole of World Cup lunacy'

It’s a simile.

A widely-used and well-understood rhetorical device.

It’s not surprising that the worst Education Secretary of my lifetime doesn’t get that.
