I only remember a handful of Tweets from over the years. But one that will stick with me forever is when someone once said: We have enough money in this world to feed every man, woman, and child. But we'll never have enough money on this planet to satiate the insatiable appetite of billionaires.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb, "Brexit was a colossal mistake" "I'm too diplomatic to express exactly what I think about those who promoted Brexit" "It's not only like shooting yourself in the foot" "It's like amputating your leg without a medical reason for doing it"

🎵I think I’ve seen this film before, and I didn’t like the ending…🎶 The people who broke our country are the same people Nigel Farage is now relying on to fix it. It couldn’t be clearer: Reform UK are simply the Conservatives with a new logo.

34 days ago, November was looking a challenging month for Coventry City, particularly with two tough away games. In the event, P5, W5, F14, A5. Today, December is looking a challenging month, particularly with three tough away games…#PUSB

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests. Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

You have to wonder if they could organise a drinks event in one of those places where they make beer??

Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all. Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place" "Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people" -Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats
