Stop sharing the #FarageRiots hashtag - it's upsetting poor Nigel Farage. Please do NOT retweet. #UKRiots

It could be embarrassing and enlightening for Nigel Farage if #FarageDoesNotSpeakForMe went viral and everyone who he does not speak for liked and retweeted it.

Train Guy ...Belgian Loffles

One key difference between today’s anti-BLM protest in London’s Parliament Square, and last week’s #BlackLivesMatter protest? It looks more like a music festival with all this rubbish. (And yes, that last photo is a river of piss)

Caught @NationalTheatre 'Twelfth Night' streamed at home this PM. Absolutely gorgeous performances - fabulous take on gender reversal and glorious musical numbers. Highly recommend for a joyful and diverting watch atm:

This is the face of someone who just spent 9 hours in personal protective equipment moving critically ill Covid19 patients around London. I feel broken - and we are only at the start. I am begging people, please please do social distancing and self isolation #covid19

#IStandWithRutnam The suggestions that a career Civil Servant, 8 years a Permanant Secretary, doesn’t know the difference between highly challenging demands and incompetent bullying expectations that his team spin straw into gold, are naive and/or malicious.

Alphonso Davies’ parents fled Liberia in the civil war. He was born in a refugee camp in Ghana and moved to Canada when he was 5. Here he is playing beautifully for @FCBayernEN at 19. What a wonderful story.

Excited to hear that my Cities of Strangers, the book which began with the Wiles Lectures @QUBelfast @medievalqub and which taught me much about citizenship and belonging - their attractions and limitations - in pre-modern Europe's cities. https://t.co/8Wbl7Mkxgs @Medievalists

Today Priti Patel said "there's no such thing as dabbling in drugs, these are serious offences". Last summer, 7 out of 11 Tory leadership hopefuls, including Boris Johnson, admitted they dabbled in drugs. Why is it one rule for Cabinet members and another for my constituents?

It’s no secret I wanted to remain in the EU, but I’m determined to ensure London thrives after Brexit. Today I’m in Brussels, meeting senior EU leaders to fight for a deal that protects London’s economy, and the rights of all Londoners. #LondonIsOpen 🇪🇺 https://t.co/pk17Dx8gHM

Sabisky has resigned. Quelle surprise. Why, exactly, was he ever appointed? Is nobody vetted anymore for Downing Street?

Remember when this lot dragged us out of the EU because they didn't like 'unelected bureaucrats' having power?
