Favourite 'tweets'
by Ivan Thu Jan 26, 2012 5:23 pm
First topic message reminder :
For those of us who use 'Twitter', I thought it might be worth having a thread to share some of the interesting tweets we come across. Here are three that I've read today:-
Nick Clegg says "families are at boiling point". Well you put the gas under them, Clegg!
When a man talks dirty to a woman its sexual harassment. When a woman talks dirty to a man its $3.95 a minute.
No income tax, no VAT
No points last week off Man City
The future’s grim, he's looking pale
Harry Redknapp’s off to jail.

EU leaders dismiss the need for a ‘bridge’ to Donald Trump, as that'll only give Steve Bannon something to live under.
You would think with his EU 'gravy train' salary that Eddie Hitler would be able to afford furniture for his Stoke house that he's never visited.
"The Queen may think 'Trump and Philip should get on like a house on fire, and leave me in peace to watch Cash in the Attic'.” (Mark Steel)
‘Question Time’ audience member says she voted for Brexit at the last minute because "a banana in a supermarket was straight".
Trump's poodle May has been telling EU leaders they should spend more on defence. Perhaps they'll tell her to spend more on the NHS and welfare.
Another little gem - broccoli and lettuce rationing could be just the tip of the iceberg.
Trump tweets about the "Islamic terror" attack in Paris that killed 0, but he's silent about the white man who shot 6 in a Canadian mosque.
“MP after MP stood up to acknowledge Brexit was a terrible mistake, but most still voted for it. This isn't democracy. It is mob rule.” (Alex Andreou)

Nigel Farage’s wife says that their decision to lead separate lives isn’t her choice, as he was the one who voted to leave.
Jeremy Hunt says foreigners must pay upfront for NHS services, unless you’re a US healthcare company, in which case you get unlimited credit.
"Trump’s character may make him worthless as a man but a success as a politician in our time of cyber-charlatanism." (Nick Cohen)
"Would we have won without £350m/NHS? All our research and the close result strongly suggests No." (Dominic Cummings, director of Vote Leave)
Betsy DeVos will be a great US education secretary, as she can teach children you don't need ability or talent, only money.
By triggering Article 50, "in accordance with any member country's constitutional requirements", May will prove the UK had sovereignty all along.
When Peter Capaldi quits as 'Doctor Who' later this year, shouldn't real time-traveller Jacob Rees-Mogg be a shoo-in for the part?
“Weird that Brexiteers only wanted parliamentary sovereignty before last June 23.” (David Lammy)
Farage and Nuttall were pelted with eggs in Stoke. A complete juxtaposition to Twitter, where eggs are generally pro-UKIP.
I'm sure some women with abusive partners have used the term ‘special relationship’ to explain their situation before.
Irony meters explode as Nigel Farage's wife says she has reached "breaking point" and is "taking back control".
Gavin Barwell wants councils to build more homes. How is that supposed to happen when funding has been slashed by his government?
I nearly spilled my Bovril when Mam said she was planning to convert to Islam just to annoy that orange bigot.
When Theresa May speaks of the 'will of the people', she puts herself in the company of dictators and demagogues seeking to suppress dissent.
"A&Es collapsing, people dying on trolleys, others stuck on ward for months because of no social care. Quick! Let's talk about health tourism!" (David Schneider)
Alastair Cook has resigned as England cricket captain in order to spend more time writing letters from America.

Interesting to learn that Theresa May's government is looking after the 'just about managing', Tory-voting, Surrey stockbrokers.
We've come a long way from Harry Truman, and "the buck stops here", to the maniac Trump who thinks nothing will ever be his responsibility.
Amber Rudd says the government doesn’t want to "incentivise" children to come to Europe. I'd say not being bombed is incentive enough.
“When Labour abstained on the welfare bill, it was a party paralysed by fear. JC offered hope. Now here we are, Labour paralysed by fear again.” (David Schneider)
Facing a lawsuit by Melania Trump, ‘The Daily Mail’ claims it didn't state the allegations about her were true, adding "have you never read the paper?".
If I adopted Amber Rudd's line regarding child refugees, I'd stop giving to the foodbank because it would encourage more to fall into poverty.
According to a YouGov poll, majority of Brits think 27 countries need 1 (for 10% of their exports) as much as 1 needs 27 (for 45% of its exports).
Sturgeon to Corbyn: “You've just handed the Tories a blank cheque. You didn't win a single concession but still voted for the bill. Pathetic.”
Wikipedia has banned ‘The Daily Mail’ as a reference, due to its “reputation for poor fact-checking and sensationalism”.
Amber Rudd's callous response to child refugees reminds us that 'compassionate Conservatism' is only reserved for Surrey stockbrokers.
“For all Labour's faults, the biggest story remains the collapse of the Tory moderates. What's happened to them? What's the point of them?” (Nick Cohen)
The difference between English and Scottish nationalism is that the former demands dominance and the latter demands equality.

Trump tells judges who ruled against travel ban “see you in court”, surprising many with his elementary understanding of where judges work.
Tory association expresses disgust at one of its members burning £20 in front of a homeless man, saying "we normally use fifties".
"Now the EU won’t be able to order us to do things it never ordered us to do in the first place but we made up that they did." (Mark Steel)
After new Supreme Court judge Neil Gorsuch dares to criticise the POTUS, Donald Trump vows to take revenge on whoever picked him.
Amber Rudd says Dubs programme "incentivises" children to become refugees. In other news, the NHS incentivises people to fall ill.
Tories plan new Espionage Act, which could include up to 10 years in jail for revealing their Brexit plans. Trouble is they don't have any.
Between football matches and his PhD in brain surgery, Paul Nuttall weaved trousers for unicorns from probiotic yogurt.
"Trump’s not a classic Nazi, but he would burn books if his supporters knew how to read." (Frankie Boyle)

You may not be blind, David Davis, but you're ignorant, promoted way beyond your ability, and depriving a village somewhere of its idiot.
Jacob Rees-Mogg says his type of "old-fashioned, fuddy-duddy establishment" is ancient history. So why is he still here?
Nobody complained that John Bercow wasn't impartial during the Brexit debate, so the Tory Trump lovers and Leave boneheads can go to hell.
“At last we don’t have to worry about Brussels not actually forcing us to iron our spring onions or make us play cricket with a triangular ball.” (Mark Steel)
Tory hypocrites such as Oliver Letwin and Norman Lamont will defend the House of Lords - but only as long as it acts as their rubber stamp.
David Davis is being presumptuous; I'm sure ‘Specsavers’ wouldn't want his stupid face on their adverts.
Tories are determined to stifle any dissent towards their Brexit, pro-Trump agenda, whether it be from judges, Bercow, House of Lords or the 48%.
Jacob Rees-Mogg thinks 2017 is going well. NHS, social care and prisons in crisis, energy bills soaring, parks neglected, madman as POTUS.
Usual hypocrisy from Tory tweeters - "freedom of speech" when David Davis is sexist, "get rid of him" if Bercow states his view on Brexit.
“Trump sees anti-choice arguments all the time; the only time he sees an argument for abortion is in a mirror.” (Frankie Boyle)

Benefit sanctions are more cruel than anything in the criminal justice system. Peter Sutcliffe and Rose West get fed.
“Trump is unique in combining massive ignorance, mental dimness, no attention span, petulant narcissism, functional illiteracy and malicious spite.” (Simon Schama)
Breathtaking that Tory scum can sell off Britain's public assets to all and sundry, yet still have the nerve to wave the union flag around.
Irony meter breaks as Tim Loughton, who wanted Andrea Leadsom to be PM, accuses Ken Loach of being out of touch.
“If the Queen ever has to shake Trump’s hand, she will put on so many gloves she’ll look like Mickey Mouse.” (Frankie Boyle)
Trudeau is bilingual. Trump is barely monolingual, bordering on the incoherent; a bar room bore elevated to POTUS.
“Sometimes I forget what a crazy, unnecessary act of punch-yourself-in-the-face self-harm Brexit is. Then I wake up.” (David Schneider)
Firms such as Atos have given new meaning to the term ‘contract killers’.

It appears the one time that Donald Trump told the truth during his campaign was when he said the election was rigged.
“Finding truth amongst Nuttall's fantasies is like prospecting for gold in a gravel pit.” (Chas Peeps)
Why do journalists waste time on trying to analyse Trump's musings? He is bonkers. Might as well seek a reaction from an Airedale Terrier.
Remember when Farage was hanging out in gold lifts in New York? Now he's been kicked out by his wife and pelted with eggs in Stoke.
Paul Nuttall asks for understanding, as he’s not been the same since he lost close personal friends at the Bowling Green Massacre.
What appalling judgement Theresa May must have to offer a state visit to the despicable piece of trash that calls itself Donald Trump.
Why does the BBC waste time on the Church of England's split over LGBT rights? It's irrelevant; only 1.5% of the population attend it regularly.
“Palestinians are going to have to acknowledge Israel", says Donald Trump. They did, in 1988.
Saying that Paul Nuttall blames everything on immigrants is inaccurate. He also blames his own staff when he's caught out lying.
“Never in my almost 100 years of life have I ever seen a man so unfit to be president. Trump's corruption dances on the edge of treason.” (Harry Leslie Smith)
Previous to 2016, who would've thought ridiculous figures like Paul Nuttall could ever have significant influence on mainstream politics?
Cowards at ‘The Daily Mail’ refuse to go on ‘R4 Today’ to debate with ‘enemy of the people’ Lord Neuberger. A bullying paper with no accountability.

Trump posts a tweet about hunting down "low-life leakers", which is eerily similar to his request in the personals section in Moscow.
Microsoft increases the price of PCs in UK due to post-referendum pound crashing. And if anyone should know about things crashing.....
Traditionally the pantomine season has always been around Christmas, but with Donald Trump it seems as if it's continuing throughout the year.
Don't succumb to the 'genetic' logical fallacy. Regardless of what else Tony Blair has done, that doesn't invalidate his views on Brexit.
Trump accuses US intelligence services of 'illegal' leaks after praising ‘Wikileaks’; the irony is no doubt completely lost on him!
Survey shows thousands of Britons are spending less on drugs, prompting many to ask for the name of their dealer.
As a Russian spy ship is spotted 30 miles off the American east coast, intelligence reports suggest the laughter gave it away.
Spot on - ‘Question Time’ audience member says referendums force people to make simplistic decisions about complicated issues.
It's hard to decide who is the bigger lunatic - Donald Trump or Kim Jong-un. Trump is more powerful and therefore potentially more dangerous.
Tony Blair can't always be wrong. Even a broken clock tells the correct time twice a day.
It's beginning to look as if electing an emotionally unstable, perpetually bankrupt, reality TV star as president was a bad idea.
JK Rowling denies plan to dramatise her Twitter feud with Piers Morgan in a book called ‘Harry Potter And The Halfwit Ponce’.
Resignation of senior Trump adviser in shameful circumstances shocks Washington, mainly because it took nearly a month.
Mark Clattenburg is to quit the Premier League after 12 seasons with Manchester United.
Trump denies his administration is being manipulated by Russia, as he announces the US national anthem is to be changed to The Tsar Spangled Banner.

Such rank hypocrisy from Johnson, accusing Blair of "insulting people's intelligence". Who told voters you could only buy bananas in bunches of three?
Deeply moving moment at the UKIP spring conference as leader Paul Nuttall wells up as he remembers all the pals he lost at the Somme.
Leaders who have declared the press “an enemy of the people” - Erdogan, Putin, Kim Jong-un, Chavez, Trump.
“Blair is the guy who dragooned the UK into the Iraq war.” So says Boris Johnson, who voted in Parliament in favour of the Iraq war.
After successfully explaining what uranium is, Donald Trump tries his hand at other periodic table elements:-

UKIP canvasser attempts to force his way into a pensioner’s home after urinating on it. Pretty much what his party’s done to UK politics.
Swedish officials are still trying to find out what the hell Trump was talking about when he mentioned a terror attack in Sweden!
Liz Truss lacks the relevant qualifications and authority to defend the law, so she’s exactly what Theresa May wants.
This narcissist is costing the American taxpayers a lot of money. A psychiatrist would be a hell of a lot cheaper.
You have to give Paul Nuttall some credit. It can't be easy trying to be an even bigger twat than Nigel Farage.
"What America has seen so far is an inept White House led by a celebrity apprentice." (‘New York Times’)
Canvasser urinating on OAP’s fence provides perfect metaphor for UKIP - cosy up to the poor and piss on them if you think they aren't looking.
Many American towns and cities share the same names as European ones. Can't they find a Nuremberg for Donald Trump’s next rally?
It must surely be time for Paul Nuttall to resign as UKIP leader and for Farage to take the job again for the 4th (or is it 5th?) occasion.
“In Trump's view, people should ignore all the news except what comes directly from him. That is what totalitarianism is all about.” (Bernie Sanders)
UKIP is getting so like the Republican Party that it's even had its own Watergate.
"Disprove nonsense that’s been made up and it goes to show you’re part of the elite, with your fancy facts and la-di-da evidence." (Mark Steel)
Trump is clearly in need of psychiatric help. But who deserves most sympathy - him, or those who believe and defend the crap that he spouts?
"Steve Bannon has the name and face of a relegation-haunted Scottish football manager." (Frankie Boyle)
We used to laugh at Saddam Hussein's friend 'Comical Ali' for his absurd claims and barefaced lies. At least he didn't go on to become POTUS.

It must surely be time for Paul Nuttall to resign as UKIP leader and for Farage to take the job again for the 4th (or is it 5th?) occasion.
“In Trump's view, people should ignore all the news except what comes directly from him. That is what totalitarianism is all about.” (Bernie Sanders)
UKIP is getting so like the Republican Party that it's even had its own Watergate.
"Disprove nonsense that’s been made up and it goes to show you’re part of the elite, with your fancy facts and la-di-da evidence." (Mark Steel)
Trump is clearly in need of psychiatric help. But who deserves most sympathy - him, or those who believe and defend the crap that he spouts?
"Steve Bannon has the name and face of a relegation-haunted Scottish football manager." (Frankie Boyle)
We used to laugh at Saddam Hussein's friend 'Comical Ali' for his absurd claims and barefaced lies. At least he didn't go on to become POTUS.

Speaking as a retired mental health social worker, I would say he doesn't need psychiatric help so much as a psychiatric management plan - what he has is not really treatable as such - the main effort would be to minimise the disruption someone like him can cause - and try to stop them destroying themselves

Whose idea was it to name Storm Doris after Ann Widdecombe?
"Sweden is a violent, dangerous place", says the president of a country where over 15,000 people were killed by guns last year.
When Theresa May kisses babies, does she borrow the teeth Richard Kiel used to wear when he played Jaws in the Bond films?
I'm so pleased the DFS sale is now on, I've been waiting years for that to start.
“I still think we need a total and complete shutdown of US presidents entering the UK till we work out what the hell's going on.” (David Schneider)
Liz Truss has the eloquence of a flatulent warthog suffering with a bad case of diarrhoea following a curry night binge-eating contest.
Trump names McMaster as his new national security adviser, tasked with ensuring Americans keep killing each other rather than letting foreigners do it.
After losing his job with Sutton United over Piegate, Wayne Shaw is left with Scotch egg on his face.
Trump admits his reference to a Swedish incident was based on a debunked Fox News report, but the Orc invasion of Middle Earth remains a genuine concern.
UKIP leader Paul Nuttall has fathered more porkies than a Tamworth saddleback.
While Storm Doris is about to hit the UK for one day, Storm Donald could devastate the US for the next four years.

After Paul Nuttall's fifth UK election defeat, he hopes to get inspiration from Nigel Farage and lose at least two more.
May was pleased with a report that a large percentage of manufacturing industry is "pro-Leave", until she was told they meant "the UK".
“I saw a man in ‘Pret A Manger’ eat a tuna and onion baguette, with odds of 6-1 he'd eat one today. Thankfully he's fled the country in shame.” (Mark Steel)
Mark Childs says UKIP will end up in Westminster as "the governing party in 2020". Makes you wonder if he edits Nuttall's website.
Trump has revoked the guidelines on transgender bathrooms, demonstrating his keen interest in where people urinate.
Arron Banks says he’s sick of hearing about Hillsborough. I’m sick of hearing him and his UKIP pals moaning about immigrants.
“Brexit will be a total disaster economically, socially and in every other way, and it was sold on a false prospectus.” (Lord Foulkes)
Nigel Farage said he chanted football songs about WW2 at his German wife before his 17-year marriage publicly collapsed.
All decent people last year willed Leicester to win the Premier League. All decent people now hope Leicester is relegated to the Scottish Division 3.
It’s not all bad news for Paul Nuttall. His CV has just been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Fiction.

As Donald Trump boasts about the size of the US nuclear arsenal, critics say it just looks bigger in his tiny hands.
You’ve got to admire David Miliband. He voted for the Iraq war, which created waves of refugees, and now earns top dollars feigning concern for refugees.
Man sitting near me at ‘A Midsummer Night's Dream’ informs his companion: "I saw the original production of this". Seems like a bold claim.
It's foolish to believe that Trump or Brexit were populist uprisings. Both were orchestrated and financed by billionaires.
Forecaster said that Storm Ewan would mainly affect the Irish. So I've warned my neighbour here in Sussex that he should stay indoors today.
“Distressed to find that we (Channel 4) have not been banned from the White House, but we are working on it.” (Jon Snow)
Why doesn’t David Miliband come out and attack Theresa May for her cruel attitude to refugees, for the evil cuts, and for sucking up to Trump?
Man shouted “get out of my country” before shooting two Indians in Kansas. Will Trump now call for a shutdown of white people coming into the US?

That red Brexit battlebus must be the largest bus in the world. It took 52% of UK voters for a ride.
Following the 'best picture' mix-up at the Oscars, the Academy thanks ‘La La Land’ producers for not making a song and dance about it.
May and Trump - two dreadful leaders wrecking people's lives without a care in the world.
“If you can convince people that real news is fake, it becomes much easier to convince them that your fake news is real.” (Garry Kasparov)
Only a fool would think that the EU poses more of a danger to our rights and liberties than our own government.
The White House press pool now consists solely of ‘Hello’ and ‘Beano’.
"If we believe the course we are on will do untold damage to our country, we have a duty to say so and to oppose it." (Lord Livermore)
I wish the election was like the Oscars, and that Warren Beatty would come out in a few minutes and say that Hillary Clinton won!

Van Gaal sacked after winning the FA Cup, Ranieri sacked after winning the Premier League, Roy Hodgson considered after losing to Iceland.
It sounds as if Nigel Farage has spent too much time in the USA (rather than in Brussels, where he's paid to be) and caught Trump's Disease.
Following the fiasco at the Oscars, organisers PwC take “appropriate action” by handing a P45 to the wrong employee.
Trump will hugely increase military spending, cut the diplomatic budget and show strength in the South China Sea, but remember that Clinton was the warmonger.
If Leicester City is interested in Roy Hodgson, it’s obviously giving up the Premier League for Lent.
One of the few things which John Major got right in his time as PM was when he referred to Iain Duncan Smith and his cronies as "bastards".
BT landline-only customers are to receive a price cut, which the company heralds as "fantastic news for both of them".
Paul Nuttall: "UKIP isn’t going anywhere. I'm not going anywhere." That’s the first time he's told the truth in years.
"You might as well believe that the earth is flat if you don’t believe in all the science to do with climate change." (Ken Loach)
Ken Clarke, Michael Heseltine and John Major have exposed the chasm between real Toryism and the fascist-tainted stance of May's government.
Sports journalist Jeff Stelling asks if Roy Hodgson would be the man for Leicester. Well, he isn’t the manager they need, but he is the manager they deserve.
Sarah Vine lecturing on social cohesion on ‘R4 Today’. Up next, Fred West explains how to lay a patio and David Cameron tells all about pig-rearing.
Every argument by many of those who voted Leave can be reduced to "shut yer gob".
Supporters of Sunderland, Hull, Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough are praying that Leicester will appoint Roy Hodgson as their new manager.
Watching Douglas Carswell and Nigel Farage fight is like seeing a wasp land on a nettle; someone gets stung and you don't care who.

US election investigators are said to be confident they’ll eventually find evidence of a Trump cabinet member without ties to Russia.
The House of Lords is in favour of securing the rights of EU citizens post-Brexit, arguing their massive houses won't clean themselves.
As Barcelona join Leicester in searching for a new manager with international experience, Paul Nuttall says it’s nice for him to have options.
Parents wait to find out which school their child has got into: the one without enough teachers or the one without enough books.
Douglas Carswell may move from UKIP to the Tories, following a path taken by most UKIP voters and all UKIP policies.
Hypocrisy at its finest - Theresa May accuses the SNP of "neglecting public services".
"Trump didn’t get elected because he’s a joke, he got elected because he has big money behind him. And that’s dangerous." (Ken Loach)
Crocodile shark found dead in UK waters is good news, says Amber Rudd, as it would only have incentivised other sharks.
I’ve seen more people at the Merseyside branch of the Paul Nuttall fan club than at the Scottish Tory conference for Mrs May’s speech.
Peter Hitchens looks like a disappointed pigeon whose favourite old lady has failed to turn up with the bag of breadcrumbs.

Now we know what Trump meant when he promised to “take on Wall Street”. He has put together a cabinet full of banker billionaires.
May is a human resources director, carrying out the board's instructions out of short-term self-interest, even though she knows they are mad.
“A party can end right-wing media attacks on it in one easy step: get a leader who won't challenge the status quo the establishment supports.” (Richard Burgon MP)
Until now I thought a silent coup was a pigeon with laryngitis.
Apart from reasons of humanity and common decency, EU migrants should unilaterally be given the right to stay here because we need them.
John Redwood looked as comfortable with a kebab as he was with the Welsh national anthem.
“US spends $70 billion a year on its intelligence apparatus, but Trump gets his information about the world from 'Breitbart' and ‘Fox And Friends’.” (Glenn Greenwald)
Paul Nuttall confirms UKIP is seeking a peerage and a knighthood for Nigel Farage. That’s an odd interpretation of being ‘anti-establishment’.

The whole of Sweden is in denial about Trump’s ‘Swedish incident’. Clearly the entire population must be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
“I had a quick rise, so not surprisingly I had a quick fall as well.” (Nicky Morgan)
Theresa May is a gun for hire. Anything to be in power. Break up UK. Exit single market. Anything. Just to be PM.
Are you having your Sunday roast, Amber Rudd? Why not sort out the 32-year aged beef and cut Orgreave a slice of justice?
Paul Nuttall probably thinks that a non sequitur is a broken gardening tool.
There's a global crisis of social democracy that the likes of David Miliband have no answers to, just empty soundbites about 'electability'.
Why are the Royal Family never asked to make 'efficiency savings'?
“Theresa May is a bull in a China shop. She’s still fooling herself that the EU can be impressed by her bullying attitude.” (Gianni Pittella MEP)
Trump thinks that news from Sweden is like IKEA furniture, you have to make it yourself.
€60bn is not the price for leaving the EU, it is what the UK owes. If you buy a pint in a bar, you have to pay for it even if you don’t drink it.

"Ireland has a tenuous claim to nationhood, having seceded from Britain only in 1922." So says Melanie Phillips, a supporter of Israel, founded in 1948.
As Theresa May confirms it's OK to select children on merit, there are calls on her to do the same for government ministers.
“I do not accept that the mandate for Brexit runs for all time and in all circumstances.” (Michael Heseltine)
The best way to deal with poisonous drivel-monger Melanie Phillips is to decide she doesn't exist. Like she has with Ireland.
I once thought Orwell was a novelist, now I think of him as a prophet.
"Only dictatorships don't allow people to change their minds. In a democracy no decision is irreversible." (Viscount Hailsham)
Melanie Phillips displays the sort of outdated British 'born to rule' quasi-imperialism that leads to Brexit, Trident and even hooliganism.
Theresa May has neither a mandate to be PM nor for a hard Brexit. The 2015 Tory manifesto promised to keep the UK in the single market.
Tories to invest £320 million in ensuring the majority of children have the chance to enjoy an inferior, grossly underfunded education.
Melanie Phillips tries to soothe nationalist tensions by claiming Ireland doesn’t exist.
May sacks Heseltine from his advisory role because of Brexit. She should take heed of what happened to the last Tory PM to fall out with him.
Grammar schools – the epitome of Tory ‘divide and rule’ ideology.
It must be time for another appearance by Melanie Phillips on 'Question Time', the programme that loves to give oxygen to such 'progressive' people.
The suspicious vehicle at London Bridge station just turned out to be a train arriving on time.

"I'm in favour of measuring my cloth in imperial measures", declares Jacob Rees-Mogg for some reason in the Budget debate.
North Korea fires four missiles into sea after Kim Jong-un claims the waves were looking at him in a funny way.
"No chancellor can ever rule out future tax increases", says Philip Hammond. Apart from Tory chancellors during election campaigns.
Theresa May laughing looks like my cat coughing up a hairball.
“I took the naïve view that those who campaigned for Brexit might have answers for what to do next.” (Michael Heseltine)
Jacob Rees-Mogg likes imperial measures, so perhaps he can calculate how many miles of additional red tape Brexit will generate.
"How can this growing economy only afford ever-worsening public services?" (Polly Toynbee)
Unusually strong performance from Nick Robinson interviewing Philip Hammond – can we assume he works for the BBC on a self-employed basis?
Someone please send Jacob Rees-Mogg back through the wormhole to 1885, where he can measure his cloth in furlongs and acres for all I care.
The May way – if you can’t win an argument, just sack the person making it.
Hammond: “We will give £2bn over the next 3 years for social care, making a grand total of minus £2.5bn since we took power”.
Jacob Rees-Mogg is trending. He must have lost a child up his chimney and needs help from Dick Van Dyke to get him out.
Nigel Farage's doctor told him to watch his drinking. So now he does it in front of a mirror.
"No Conservative ever likes to raise taxes", says Hammond, talking about the party which over time has increased VAT from 8% to 20%.
Jacob Rees-Mogg - a living, breathing Charles Dickens character who would make even Mr Murdstone shudder.
Brexiters:
Jun 2016 - “Let’s take back control and make Parliament sovereign.”
Mar 2017 - “How dare the Lords vote to make Parliament sovereign?"
Tory 'divide and rule' again - "85% are unaffected by the NI change", says Philip Hammond. That translates as "sod the other 15%".
Jacob Rees-Mogg: "Lord Heseltine is a frightful old humbug, and a period of silence on his part would be welcome". Set the example, Jacob.
Sorry Theresa May, but your bizarre behaviour at PMQs will never match Meg Ryan’s cameo in ‘When Harry Met Sally’.
Nick Robinson: “We're in a plane flying towards a mountain”.
Philip Hammond: “The British people have voted to fly into a mountain”.
Surely Sir Chips Keswick must be another P G Wodehouse character, just like Gussie Fink-Nottle, Stiffy Bing and Jacob Rees-Mogg?

Surely Sir Chips Keswick must be another P G Wodehouse character, just like Gussie Fink-Nottle, Stiffy Bing and Jacob Rees-Mogg?

The May way – if you can’t win an argument, just sack the person making it.
I recall seeing at some recent time photographs of French women who fraternised with the Nazis during the war being confronted by their neighbours - heads shaven, with various bruises and surrounded by a hostile crowd - somehow, seeing the horrible May in action, those pictures come into my mind - once her paymasters decide she is of no further use I expect she will also be reviled and abused

"David Davis is one of a growing band of libertarians who believe we should all be free to serve authoritarian governments." (Frankie Boyle)
We already knew that Brexit means Brexit. Now Liam Fox has told Sophy Ridge that "Theresa May is Theresa May".
235,000 new US jobs created, but Trump camp celebrations are cut short after they realise most are for fact checkers and FBI investigators.
The EU funds areas according to levels of unemployment, the Tories fund areas such as Surrey according to their vote share.
Oct 2015, £1 = €1.43.
Mar 2017, £1 = €1.14.
I wonder what monumental act of national self-destruction has caused that 20% decline?
Twitter investors are delighted at the potential new revenue stream from libel cases.
Expect David Davis' Brexit negotiations to be like Private Fraser's auld empty barn. There's nothing in it.
Don't listen to fools who tell you that a weak £ is good. UK imports around 50% of its food and many of the components needed by manufacturers.
"As a society, we've managed to kick the racism out of football and back into mainstream politics." (Frankie Boyle)
After Brexit, will it be legal for Liam Fox to take his friends on government business at the taxpayers’ expense?

Indeed, 80% of the components in a (made in Britain) Nissan Qashqai are imported.

Remind Theresa May that nobody has "treated politics as a game" more than the narcissistic clown she appointed as foreign secretary
"There’s a reason why our trade is almost 39 times greater with Ireland than it is with New Zealand. Ireland is next door." (Nick Clegg)
With Article 50 about to be triggered, the status quo in Scotland may no longer be seen as the lower-risk option it was in 2014.
Trump goes to a golf course for the ninth time in seven weeks, presumably to mock other people’s handicaps.
Theresa May seems to be advocating nationalism for the ‘Little Englanders’ while at the same time seeking to deny it for the Scots.
"People who wrote a lie on a bus and drove it around the country now want to pretend that none of us actually saw it." (Frankie Boyle)
The population of Ireland is roughly similar to that of Scotland, and it seems to be doing okay in the EU.
Another independence referendum is what you can expect when a dictatorial Tory PM treats Scotland as a vassal state of an English empire.
Tory benefit cuts reach a new low with the suggestion that pensioners could survive on just one new state-funded £100m yacht.
If Scotland leaves the UK, and is a member of the EU, it would be a very attractive place for many English and Welsh businesses.
"May and Sturgeon each accuse the other of reckless folly in wrenching their country away from their biggest markets." (Polly Toynbee)
Boris Johnson does not have a ‘patchy record’, he's been uniformly shite and opportunistic throughout his entire political career.
Another Scottish referendum "would be divisive and cause huge economic uncertainty", says May. What does she think triggering Article 50 is doing?
Belarus introduced a 'social parasite tax' on those unable to find enough work. IDS must be kicking himself that he didn't think of that.
There's literally no argument May can make against another Scottish referendum that can't be replied to with "but Brexit?"

Clueless on Brexit, UK could break-up, NHS, prisons, schools & social care in crisis, MPs under investigation; isn't Theresa May doing well?
New York is hit by heavy snowstorms, making it the only thing in the US whiter than the Trump administration.
Theresa May tells Nicola Sturgeon: "Now is not the time to play politics or create uncertainty.” No, that was on 23rd June 2016.
‘White van men’ are delighted with Hammond's unexpected U-turn without any kind of signal in advance.
Judging from his most recent parliamentary performance, David Davis really is as thick as he looks.
Obama may have spied on Donald Trump through a microwave, Kellyanne Conway has said through her arse.
"May’s U-turn handed Jeremy Corbyn an exocet missile for PMQs. And he's blown his own feet off with it." (James O’Brien)
The Maybot: "The people have spoken, Brexit means Brexit, we will take back control of our borders, get the best possible deal for Britain."
The Dutch are obviously not as stupid as so many Americans when it comes to being duped by an orange Nazi with bad hair.
“We will not be intimidated by threats that no Brexit deal is good for the UK and bad for the EU. No deal is bad for everyone, above all for the UK.” (Donald Tusk)
