Send help The Daily Mail has entirely missed the last two days.... & the #LocalElections2024 annihilation of the Tory party by the electorate Oh but hang on...... Angela Rayner 🙄 Tories thought it would damage her. It hasn't. Instead Daily Mail caused a Streisand Effect We all know about Michael Ashcroft and Daily Mail Group trust being offshore to avoid tax now And guess what? We despise the Tories even more because of it Well done 👏🏼👏🏼 Huge own goal

I assure you Malta would never treat its partners with such patronising contempt, especially when discussions that rely on good will from all sides, are at such a delicate stage. "How to lose friends & alienate people" shouldn't be considered a guiding principle to negotiations.

6,085,174 people signed the petition to revoke article 50. Nobody took any notice. 5,248,533 people voted for the Brexit Party. These are apparently The People whose will must be followed unquestioningly.

Voting makes a difference. No matter how bored you are over Brexit, go out and vote. Any vote for Farage on Thursday won’t be seen by him as a protest but as support for his brand of far-right U.K. politics. The more votes against him, the greater the chance of stopping him.

I’m sorry but I have to retweet this once more - it’s so much worse on video. To paraphrase: The UK is peculiar geographically, in that, and I hadn’t quite fully understood the extent of this, it really is very close to France.
Replying to @ProfBrianCox
Here's the video clip oh him saying it, which also mentions the "peculiar geographic economic entity that is the United Kingdom" 🙂

Do try to talk to people on the internet as you would talk in real life. I know we've all been saying it for years - ever since this place turned fkn feral - but it's worth saying again. Make it a personal rule. It's doable. And you'll feel better.
