Well said!.
At today's press conference, @beverleyturner asked President Trump how important farmers were to him amid the backdrop of the UK changes to inheritance taxes. Thank you for backing your farmers, Mr President. We need our government to do the same and #StopTheFamilyFarmTax.

Hey @grok, who was the person with the most followers to view my account? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was. Jumping on the bandwagon.

A very helpful and insightful thread from a strong defender of free speech. Do also note his last comment.
Total scaremongering I'm afraid🧵👇. 1️⃣ There is already, in force, an offence of knowingly making a false communication for the purpose of annoying someone (s. 127(2) Communications Act 2003). 2️⃣ s 179 OSA will repeal and replace s 127(2) and is more protective of free speech

This is quite funny! The agony for Adrian on how to answer honestly.
'You can't even bring yourself to say that you like Zack Polanski?'. @IainDale has to coax @AdrianRamsay into admitting he likes his Green Party colleague and leadership opponent.

Odd that @Ipsos_in_the_UK reframed mid May data on visibility of Shadow Cabinet - excluding Kemi - as "49% don't recall seeing anything from *them* recently" in a July tweet. Both the reframing and "recently" are rather questionable. Valid points can be made but play it straight.
As Badenoch reshuffles her shadow cabinet, our data shows they have a big visibility problem:. 🔵49% don’t recall seeing anything from them recently.🔵Jenrick, Patel & Stride have made the biggest (but limited) impression.🔵 5% or fewer recall anything about each of the rest
