Nine years today since my proudest ever achievement in publishing. The time I got a Good Deed and a Rush Hour Crush printed on the same page of the Metro, both of which told a single, horrifying, story from two unconnected people.

I don't know who Milo is talking about here, but since he has expressed pride in British culture, here are the ways in which his outfit violates British traditions. 🧵
If you don’t like living in English-speaking countries wearing English clothes eating English food with English manners, customs, systems of government and culture all around, have you considered not losing to us over and over again for hundreds of years? Just a thought

I think it’s appropriate for the Chancellor of Manchester University to remind people that we still hold the record for the worst (+ funniest) ever answer on University Challenge

there is *nothing* more British than attacking someone because of where they went to school – at Edinburgh, Scotland
🚨@RishiSunak: Keir Starmer attacks me because of where I went to school. I don’t think that’s very British.

England has the only privatised Water in Europe, the most water pollution, and the most expensive water. The UK has the only fully privatised energy, and the most expensive. The UK has privatised rail, the slowest, least reliable and of course the most expensive in Europe.

After the effect of 'Mr Bates vs the Post Office', let’s hope Toby Jones is also working on new TV dramas about water pollution, climate change, covid, PPE contracts, the refugee crisis, the cost of living, energy prices, and the NHS

What gets me is that Tory MPs could have made a difference in people’s lives - they could have lifted people out of poverty, healed the sick, helped educate our children, and provided us all with a better future. Instead, they just took and took and took some more. Never again!

In the USA in 1943 they produced a film 'Don't be a Sucker' about fascism. It perfectly explains Nigel Farage, Suella Braverman, Tommy Robinson and the entire Right.

So David Cameron is to sit in the House of Lords ("taking back control from unelected officials anyone?") in order to be Foreign Secretary - which means he won't be able to be questioned by MPs in the chamber over foreign policy. Doesn't seem very 21st century.
