Just seen Andrew Bridgen on GMB and was absolutely disgusted by the disrespect he showed to a frontline medic working to save peoplesโ lives in this country.

Or as in my case, one adult working a full time job at 8 hours a day, with a house to run, a ten year old to sort for school and a mother with Alzheimerโs to care for. Plus all the pink jobs & all the blue jobs. Iโm lucky if I get 45 minutes to rest a day. I am running on empty.

I have a visceral loathing of Nigel Farage. He literally turns my stomach. I have absolutely no idea how anyone can even listen to him let alone vote for him. God knows why he gets the airtime. I think itโs a disgrace.
@implausibleblog
Good work by Trevor Philips as always, but why do we bother with this theatre. Them coming out every morning spouting their liar platitudes when everyone knows what theyโve done. The last 5 weeks have been a farce, not to mention the 14 yrs prior. Thursday canโt come soon enough.
@gemmagould
Why are we not on the streets? Iโve never experienced anything as diabolical as this govโt in my lifetime. They are murdering us; either through letting us perish of covid, or of the cold, through systematically underfunding our health service or poisoning our water with sewage.
@supertanskiii
Thank God someone has the balls to tell the truth today. The vile sycophantic commentators talking about โthe 50 year love affairโ. How short peopleโs memories are.
@PDummys
@MarinaPurkiss
Why isnโt the BBC reporting this? Sod the DG. Producers, you donโt owe senior leadership anything and the govโt are trying to sell you up the river. Speak up. Please.
@Scarborough_GB
Sadly I do, as my mother is one of them. She is blissfully unaware of the reality. She doesnโt follow the news or Twitter. She likes his hair apparently and his voice. Much as I love her, I think there was a mix up at the hospital; there is no way i originated from that woman.
@Searchlight_mag
Unbelievably disgusting. Heโs filmed himself threatening women and children and posted it. He really must think he is untouchable. The government must prove to him and all like him that he is not and that such behaviour will not be tolerated. He makes me wish I was a prosecutor.
@TartanSpecial
@campbellclaret
Trump purports to be a leader, yet he is trying to deny millions of his own citizens their right to have their vote counted, simply because he knows the result isnโt going in his favour. I honestly cannot believe that this is even possible in a democracy. It is utterly repugnant.
@gigicat7_
Djokovic lost the final of the US Open to Medvedev. Who Nadal just beat in AO. Medvedev beat Djokovic in straight sets. Care to revise your statement?
@RuthieR
Jack Monroe for PM, Martin Lewis for Chancellor and Marcus Rashford for Home Secretary. Can you imagine how much more beautiful Britain would be?
@CatDocMD
Dear God, reading these replies is horrifying. Iโve been celibate for 7 years since my daughterโs father had an affair and left me whoโve she was 3. It wasnโt my first heartbreak and i just thought Iโm so through with men. Best decision I ever made. Never been happier.
@RichardBentall
Amazing thread. Thank you. I despair of where we are. As an ordinary citizen, I hear the noise about what we must do but donโt see anything happening. I donโt understand why the opposition parties arenโt uniting. Democracy is more important than party identity. They must act now.
@jmboyers
Completely agree. I live in East Sussex & it takes me 3.5 hrs round trip to get into the office at a daily cost of ยฃ60 in train and parking. Plus lunch and coffees is around ยฃ15. ยฃ75 and almost 4 hours lost of my day. I go in once a week now to see my team & customers in person.

@SkyNews
Interesting how they terminated the press conference when they were asked about him being photographed hugging children the day after he tested positive. Utterly disgraceful.
@ErdmuteD
I couldnโt believe it this morning. The country is in the toilet and all he could do was push Starmer about a supposed apology due from Angela Rayner. It was a disgrace and embarrassing to watch. What has happened to the BBC.

The dangers of the extreme right are drummed into German children consistently from their earliest junior school attendance. Germany will never allow it to happen again.

Oh I think he means the lady in the front left of the box. She was dancing when Fritz won points.
This will be why Morgan deleted her insta post celebrating the win as well.
@ThornfieldHall
@KnittedKittie
Itโs a disgrace that someone has been put in the lords and simultaneously has a super injunction protecting her. This country stinks to high heaven.
@implausibleblog
Last straw time - Kuenssberg should be removed. Sheโs dangerous & deeply biased. You can ask viable, fair & clarifying questions around Labour policies without the blatant negative insinuation & disparaging dismissal she spouts. Get her off the BBC.
I think what is truly mind blowing about Carlos Alcaraz is the light and shade to his game. Itโs not just having the shot repertoire, itโs how he uses the variety he has to build points. As a spectator it is spectacularly exciting to watch as you never know what is coming next.
@Tennistimechat
By saying he wasnโt treated any differently to any other player? Not only is that a blatant lie, it is disingenuous to say it. He clearly has no PR advisor as what he said today was disastrous. Outside of Petchey & Roddick and every Italian anywhere, everyone else is outraged.
@island_41
@jessphillips
Itโs because of the spousal maintenance & child support he has to pay. 2 ex wives & 6 kids to support (that we know about; there are probably more). That will total half of his take home salary. Thatโs your reward for philandering and abandoning your families Boris. No sympathy.
@zarahsultana
Given what is going on in this country re the cost of living crisis, this is far worse, to my mind, than even the parties. I have NEVER been this dangerously angry about what is happening in this country. I used to look at rioters and feel pity. Not any more. This cannot endure.
@DominicKing_DM
I hope he has very close friends with him 24/7 right now and for a long while to come. He is going to need so much love and care. Devastating.
@josemorgado
Maybe Carlitos didnโt feel that he wanted to say he liked watching any particular female player more than another because then the press will jump on it and make something out of nothing. It was a strange line of questioning for Courier to follow.
@DanielaNadj
I have never, in all my 51 years, encountered any person as breathtakingly smug, self-satisfied and condescending as Rees-Mogg. I loathe him. Literally loathe him.
@AngelaRayner
If it were a work meeting, where are the laptops & the notepads? People sat around chatting on the grass? A woman nursing her baby?! Wine and cheese?! Kay Burley was excellent this morning - sheโs exactly right in her assessment. It smells wrong & looks wrong because it is wrong.
@nazirafzal
Even in the classification of misogyny and killing women as not being terrorism, women are marginalised against. How can hate crimes perpetrated on a group which constitutes half of the worldโs population not be considered terrorism? Baffling.
@mattprescott
This is what should have happened on day 1. But we have an entirely reactive Govโt rather than a proactive one. They donโt even know how to spell the word strategy. They are incomparably useless and should be removed. How many deaths are needed before we get them out?
@lazyfred1971
Ralph Fiennes, Simon Le Bon, James Blunt, Dustin Hoffman and Jeff Goldblum. All absolutely lovely, generous, kind and not remotely supercilious.
@matthaig1
What a wonderful message. I wish Iโd gone out and stood in the rain instead of looking at it through the window. I lost my cousin to suicide when he was 40. I wish heโd met you or even read your book, before he took his life.
@stimmo
Because itโs 3 days to the local elections, heโs lost ground and he needs to do something quickly. It is breathtakingly disgusting that this was clearly always in his power to do but he didnโt do it until it suited his personal agenda. Meanwhile a child grew up motherless. Vile.
@SandyofSuffolk
@LiarBloody
Itโs all bollocks. Theyโre just pretending to be interesting. Or what they think constitutes interesting. They really want to lie around all day watching Frasier reruns.
@TheBorisBecker
@Wimbledon
The criticism should be directed to Wimbledon & their daft rules. If Emma is concerned about injury thatโs understandable, so let him play with someone else. They only agreed to team up 3 days ago as it is. Ludicrous

@green_woman1
Completely agree. NS has been utterly focussed on the pandemic. Press conferences every day. The right decisions made at the right time. And sheโs been clear that the ref 2 wonโt be until 2023 when Covid is passed. 9 years after the last one. Iโm not Scottish but I wish I were.
@DavidLawTennis
Zverev rude and unsportsmanlike towards Fils, who beat him fair and square. Pissed at an underarm serve which he allowed himself to be affected by and then played a shocking tiebreak to lose.
Zverevโs fault entirely. That sort of behaviour is not a credit to our beloved sport.
@samuelcwhart
I am single. Of my own volition. My response is:-
Money - I earn it and itโs mine to spend as I please.
Chores - happy with doing them as itโs my own mess to manage and no one elseโs.
Decision fatigue- I would much rather make my own choices than have them made for me.

@syrpis
You are exactly right. Sadly I have experienced it personally and now I can smell it a mile away. Itโs repulsive behaviour and itโs coming at us from every angle of government.
@JohnnyThomson2
Fantastic!! Wow 15 years is really something. Iโm coming up to a year which I did for charity for a friend who had cancer. Now Iโm 3 days away from the end and I have no desire for a drink at all. Thinking I might carry on being sober!
@DanielaNadj
It used to be that we looked up to people in positions of power as superior. These days, I look at each of them and know that categorically, I could walk into the HOC tomorrow and do a better job.
@13sarahmurphy
I know thousands of others retweet your tweets but still, I canโt help myself doing the same, because every one of them is so succinct and nailed on. And I wish Iโd written them. You say exactly what Iโm feeling.

@RafaelNadal
@alcarazcarlos03
I think Alcaraz is the most exciting thing to happen to tennis in a very long time. To push Nadal like that at only 18 years old is mind blowing. Heโll have the advantage in 5 sets and I cannot wait to see him play in the French. Itโs only a matter of time before he wins a slam.
I cannot believe BBC2 has removed Raducanu (British player) in the 3rd set against Pegula at Eastbourne (British tournament) to put on Slovakia vs Romania in the euros. Literally mind blowing.
@TheTennisLetter
Well what does he expect? If he causes a scene like that on Centre Court at the most traditional and respected slam in the world, then he has to expect he will be asked about it. He just makes it worse and worse for himself.
@BarristerSecret
Are they now going to reimburse all the people they fined on the roads for taking unnecessary travel further than ten miles from their homes??? He and his wife were symptomatic for Christ sake - they were not allowed by law to leave the house. How is this happening?
@InnaSovsun
As a mother of a ten year old girl I literally want to vomit reading this. I cannot believe the West is allowing this to happen. How far does it need to go before we do something?????
@HXValley
I would have laughed! These prime British comedy moments are going to be lost forever soon and itโs really sad. Iโve shown my 11 year old the videos of โ4 candlesโ, the bar scene with Del and Trig, the Eric and Ernie breakfast sketch, โtwo soupsโ and โis it on the trolleyโ.
@calmk2202
I didnโt know that. It makes my flesh crawl. I didnโt think it was possible for him to sink even lower in my estimation, but he just has.

Rachel McClean - โwe were the first country to come out of lockdownโ yes we were Rachel and 190,000 U.K. citizens are dead; the highest death toll in Europe. It beggars belief.
@hxqurl
Block the fuckers. Seriously they are revolting. Itโs not enough for them to win, they have to degrade a young man who lost a super tight match and who has never been anything but respectful to their player. No class. No breeding. Grotesque.
@Beany_1
I donโt think Iโve ever seen such a disgusting headline in a British paper. And Iโve seen a few. Itโs enough to make you want to ditch the U.K. for good. If Macron wins tomorrow I would seriously consider it.
@BarristerSecret
Even by Trumpโs gutter level standards, his tweet is breathtakingly insensitive. Iโm sure the families of the 210,000 US citizens whoโve lost their lives, as a direct result of the incompetence of his administrationโs response, will rest easy knowing heโs okay. Utterly repugnant.
@JayFan88

Well said. Iโve never blocked as many people in one sitting as I have reading the replies to this thread. There are some truly repugnant people in this country. Sickening.

Fiona Bruce cutting across Mick Lynch to say โIโll say it for you Rachel, seeing as youโre being quiet as a mouse..โ Jesus wept. And thatโs what they call impartial???
@BarbaraSutton15
They must sack her. Now. She is bankrupting us. My 2 year fixed rate mortgage expires end of October. The cheapest deal I can get which I had to sign tonight in a hurry before it was withdrawn, increased my monthly payment from ยฃ2500 to ยฃ4100. It is completely outrageous.
