@suchnerve @iseeuliars Same. I was 8 years old. One sunny evening in the summer holidays. We were playing outside. Mum called me in to help lay the table. I was SO annoyed. Why me? Why not my brothers? Grumbling to myself while I did it... then the penny dropped.

Blair just lied on national TV! He said 'Labour was on the brink of extinction' under Corbyn. It was the opposite! Huge vote share! People voted for social justice and climate policies. Lying toerag. #Peston you didn't challenge the lie.

@PEOPLEpowerGal @BootstrapCook I'm not a Tory voter but I did see this headline last night and nodded along thinking 'yes, full up isn't good, wrecks your sleep, you want to stop before you're full'. Of course Telegraph are priming readers for what's ahead. I was tired so I got gaslit without realising. :(

@leethommo Channel 4 met with a lot of criticism here yesterday, but Twitter isn't the country. Looks like everyone was grateful. I know I was. Personally, I found what BBC did, pull all scheduled programming, shut down a channel, switch everything to BBC News, very disturbing.

@SDonziger @CivilBeat @oahuWP then military can't be in Hawaii. Throw them out. Everyone immediately compensated. No one has to 'make a case' they were 'affected'. It's in the water. Everyone is affected. People in Hawaii are owed an apology.

@Okwonga @annettedittert I've been tweeting as much for a decade if not more. I knew it was going to be bad in 2010. I grew up under Thatcher, I had no illusions. What's surprised me is this Tory govt are so much worse than I could have possibly imagined. They've exceeded expectation. #JohnsonOut116

@RohunJauhar Who's paying? You? In which case - interviewer hack: scan the menu for the most expensive item. If they're playing games, may as well get a free lunch out of it. If they offer you the job, it's a 'no'.

@LizWhatsherface @iseeuliars Can't run a business on fantasy. They need to know how things really are so they can plan ahead. Financial Times has been very good too. Ignore editorials, they can be biased. Read the actual business articles.

@meropemills Nobody likes to challenge the NHS. We're guilted out of it. We have to show gratitude at all times no matter the failings, which means failings continue. We can both support the NHS *and* hold it to account when it fails us. Criticism doesn't mean it loses funding. So sorry. xx

@KenLoachSixteen There is no party for the left to support. There's a vacuum. Which means there's space for a new party. We can forget the Green party, they're backed by Tories and back the Tories. They didn't back Labour's 2019 manifesto which was Greener than anything the Greens had to offer.

@lingerie_addict @rhubarb_bandit I really like viscose which is also plant-based. If anyone has a handy list of these alternative textiles, I'd really appreciate it. I think there are new fabrics to get to know too?

@RDuffy16 @OwenJones84 Strange take. Largest death toll in Europe two days running deserves front page headlines. The other papers are trying to make the story go away. Commemorating some of those who have gone is not 'virtue signalling'. You're supposed to mourn the dead.

@kattenbarge @laurastoobusy My sister had a job in a retail shop, I forget the name, a well-known fashion store. The staff uniform included extremely high heels. My sister already had back pain, so in the end, she had to quit. It isn't fair. Should be illegal, agree.

@Peston "But the idea that Amsterdam’s stock market would eclipse London never felt remotely plausible." Why not? Businesses started moving to Europe a while back. Are you not keeping up? You couldn't imagine it? Or were you told to tweet this? I'm not a high profile journo and I knew.

@askinsdt @MehreenBaig @snoopdogtanian 'mismanagement of their money' is Tory rhetoric. They were either a Tory voter or one of their trolls. Don't take their words to heart, it's meaningless drivel. Tories have robbed the public purse and tanked the economy. We'll take no lectures on money from them.
