RT @RGTyler: It’s hard to find fault in this argument - a lot of us on the leave side favoured EFTA as a soft option. However rejoining now simply isn’t viable.

@Adrian_Hilton If we are unequivocal in our support for free speech, we must logically back the right of people to protest against films they dislike - provided, naturally, that they stop short of violence or intimidation. Indeed, the effective alternative to censorship is social disapproval.

Imperial units? Yes, great - they're more natural, being based on human measures rather than abstractions.
But they're hardly a substitute for deregulation, tax cuts, sound money or free trade.

@Dannythefink @figurewizard @danielmgmoylan @DCBMEP @iainmartin1 @BorisJohnson This is true. Much of the present discontent is about spending increases, National Insurance hikes, green levies etc.
But I suspect that the booers were mainly people who disliked the PM all along - people like this hardened Remainer, for example: ?s=20&t=C12LVjf5J998M9mem02EVQ

RT @BillKristol: We’ve had a global pandemic. There’s war in Europe. We’ve had years of poor governance here. There are things Biden can do to help our economy—in trade and immigration liberalization, and energy production. They’d increase growth while mitigating inflation.

He’s not doing them.

This is staggering. How, when planes are grounded by staff shortages, cafés beg for chefs, cab drivers are booked for weeks in advance and shop windows are thick with vacancy signs, can five million people be idle? The great ⁦@FraserNelson⁩ explains. spectator.co.uk/article/how-ar

@JackieAshley13 We've had eight reigning queens if you count Matilda and Lady Jane Grey. I reckon only one was a dud (I'll leave you to work out which). A far better run, proportionately, than the kings.

It is indubitably true that we have done better with queens than kings - possibly because they were less likely to be heirs presumptive from birth. Never being gainsaid is more than most people can take.
RT @AllisonPearson: Queens are our greatest monarchs.
How about a matrilinear succession?
Princess Anne
followed by
Princess Charlotte
They’d both be brilliant.

RT @hughosmond: The extent of the delusion that WFH is OK is mind-boggling. All around us we can see stuff not working - airports, airlines, passports, driving licences, banks, universities, planning permissions, construction, car manufacturing,NHS administration, Royal Mail - it's quite obvious
