@HannahIamthest1 Worked with a guy who was a master at dealing with scammers. He’d slowly ramp it up with implausible replies so they never twigged, then deliver the ‘coup de grace’ about sharing his house with a horse his uncle left him in his will, & saying ‘I’m not weird or anything.’ Click.

I love scam phone calls. I pretend I’m an old Yorkshire lad, desperate to pay them. My record’s an hour. I kept putting them on hold to “check my wallet,” yelling at my cat, and asking if they could speak up because my hearing aid was acting up. Then I spent 30 minutes reading my card details wrong… real slow. At one point, I told them my kitchen was on fire Great fun 😆

@AskBritain_ No, for 2 reasons: 1. I don’t live in Clacton. 2. In the UK we vote for a constituency MP to represent us in Parlt. The party in the HoC with the most seats in a GE is asked by the Monarch to form a govt; that party’s leader is appointed PM. The electorate does not vote for a PM.

Would you vote Nigel Farage if a general election were held tomorrow?

@AllisonPearson @GoodwinMJ @ReformUK The late Queen wore a head covering to mosques as a sign of respect Allison. Presumably then, she was also ‘sucking up to Islamists’.

Matt Goodwin fought a noble fight. Gorton/Denton could have had a great MP. Instead, they got a Green fruitcake who covers her hair to suck up to Islamists and had election material in Urdu. @GoodwinMJ will be a @ReformUK MP at the next election. We must get our country back.

@narindertweets The late Queen wore a head covering to mosques as a sign of respect. By Allison’s reasoning then, she was also ‘sucking up to Islamists.’

This is horrible Allison. Please delete and apologise.

@reformparty_uk @RobertJenrick HM Official Opposition already exists & it isn’t you. You CAN have a spokesperson to speak in response to the CotE…and you choose the chap who admitted deliberately helping a Tory donor save £45m in tax by rushing through a housing development.

We are proud to announce that @RobertJenrick will be assuming the position of Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Reform UK Shadow Cabinet. 🇬🇧

BBC are saying this is Macclesfield's 7th FA Cup tie of the season & they’ve won over £250k in FA prize money (half of Haaland's weekly wage) but they get nothing if they lose tonight; the FA has decided losing teams in the 4th round won't get any money. Shameful. #FACup

@Nigel_Farage @GBNEWS Working practices evolve, resulting in new ideas. Ever heard of the ‘Follow the Sun’ model? Go read about it. WFH / hybrid working is another (successful) working practice. It’s called progress. It’s why we aren’t still riding horses to get everywhere. So yes, you’re wrong.

Am I wrong about working from home? Join me live on @GBNEWS tonight at 7 PM to discuss.

Definite ‘’Eye of Sauron’ vibes though. #OpeningCeremony

Now that’s impressive. #OpeningCeremony

We’re heading into ‘a good turn but on too long’ territory now. #OpeningCeremony

And there was me thinking they’d light the bloody thing on the final note of Nessun Dorma. Because that was THE time to do it. #OpeningCeremony

I’m sure Terry Wogan would have had something to say about those lads with the big heads #OpeningCeremony

Wondering if Maria Carey had been nailed to the spot. She didn’t move a lot. #OpeningCeremony

@TRobinsonNewEra There was a chap there wearing a bowler hat. It’s years since I saw anyone wearing one.

The powers that be like to tell today's generation that London was always a multicultural city. This was the London Underground in the 1970s. Notice anything?

@bmstewart2004 @MilHistNow That’s a book I must seek out. Have read ‘The Cruel Sea’ a few times now & it is a favourite of mine.

@MilHistNow I’m currently reading “Three Corvettes” by Monserrat the experiences of which he used as the basis for “The Cruel Sea”. Hair raising real life experiences.

The fictional Flower-class corvette HMS Compass Rose (K49) that appeared in the 1953 film The Cruel Sea was the real-life warship HMS Coreopsis. The vessel, which served as a convoy escort during the Battle of the Atlantic, was scrapped shortly after production.

@JamesChiavarini @PaulEmbery Whenever I hear that man’s name, I always think of this: huffingtonpost.co.uk/amp/entry/jake…

@PaulEmbery Lord have mercy. It's like having Phillip Green in charge.

Letter from Donald Trump to the Norweigan prime minister, copied to multiple ambassadors in Washington. Read it. By any measure, the words are utterly deranged. Surely the Trump cultists must now accept that their man is not right in the head?

@Surfingspaniel @emmerdale Whoever they are, I don’t think anyone associated with #emmerdale have ever been here & read what actual viewers think.

@Emmerdale are you reading all these comments tonight? #Emmerdale

@funkygibbons Not me. I’d say it actually deserves it.

Serious question at this point would anyone actually be that upset if this show was completley canned? #Emmerdale

Well that’s #emmerdale switched off. What a load of absolute bollocks. Time to wrap my brain around Only Connect.

It says something when the Specsavers adverts are better than #Emmerdale Aren’t they Barry.
