Our politics differ in some respects, I fear, but nevertheless I shall listen to your remarks with great interest, great interest.

You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.

Godwin's law but for neighbourhood WhatsApp groups. And instead of the Nazis it's someone racially profiling the postman or a row about bins

What’s something ubiquitous about the past, like the early 1990s, that stands out as something hard to convey to young folks today? My choice is the ubiquity of smoking.

this is like films where they zoom out to show the whole fleet or whatever and you're like, went a bit overboard with the CGI there

Observation 5: There are two streams of Christmas ornaments. The "fillers" and the "keepers".

The fillers are the generic ones. The keepers are meant to be more special and unique. This second stream is stored in your family's reliquary to be one day passed on to the children.

"There seems to be no trumpeting by the home office of deportations to other commonwealth countries such as Canada, New Zealand and Australia – and this is perhaps for the obvious reason."

@barnardos Hey Barnardo's - I see crappy people are saying they'll stop donating because of this, so I just bunged you a donation online. Well done for speaking up, and I'll think about your excellent article when talking to my children about race

For my birthday, Horatio got me the most thoughtful gift of a lifetime. A special surprise from heaven. A hologram of my dad. It is so lifelike! We watched it over and over, filled with emotion

It was bedtime, but the children were messing about in the hall. The cat jumped off the windowsill and chased them into their room

It's like herding cats

Literally anything except the safe routes that experts have told you for years would actually save lives.

Your rules force people to make dangerous journeys because they say that they have to reach UK territory to make a protection claim. You are the trafficker's best friend.

Journalist: How can we ever understand people's intentions?

Member of the public: Well, in this case, there's an extensive record of their public statements?

J, head in hands: This is so hard

MotP: And a record of their actions in office?

J: THEY'RE AS UNKNOWABLE AS THE SEA

@JSkeaping @RichardMonnick @AllieRenison @inthesedeserts You’re absolutely right it’s not a game Joe. I take my reporting incredibly seriously — whereas you are happy to assume to know her intention, instincts and her motivations without any evidence to support your claims.

According to the @Telegraph "Boris Johnson has speeded up plans to curb the judiciary". We must not be fooled by claims that this is about restoring "the sovereignty of Parliament". It's about the power of Number 10 to sideline Parliament - & all other checks on its power. THREAD
