April Fools Day headlines are cracking this year.

A Brief History of Kids Today Have It Easy 🧵

It's all so tiresomely predictable. Never any introspection, never any self-assessment. Just the usual halfarsed scattershot effort to blame someone else: the civil servants, the Treasury, the bond markets, the left, the 'establishment'.

If the UK rejoined the EU, which #Brexit benefits would you miss the most?

The fact that patients cannot call their GP surgery at any time other than 8.00am - and then have to hold the line for God knows how long - simply in order to book an appointment is genuinely a national scandal. Imagine having to do the same when booking a car service or haircut!
