On Elon Musk's firm being approved by Ofgem to supply energy to British homes, Lib Dem leader Ed Davey:
"Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence.
"Elon Musk is a threat to our national security...We can’t have the lights go out because he’s having a strop on X.”

Nigel Farage said the ban on handguns brought in after Dunblane was “ludicrous” and should be lifted, arguing handguns ought to be legalised and licensed again.
The man is deranged, he won't be happy until school shootings are happening in the UK again.

Spare a thought for all the free speech warriors who fled authoritarian Britain for freedom in the Middle East.
And the cold turkey influencers who can’t snap a selfie for fear of a jail sentence…
My heart bleeds for them.

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lulled in these flowers with dances and delight.

On this day in 1988, Rick Astley started a two week run at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and since then, he's still never let us down, run around and deserted us.

Veteran: Trump promised that there would be no wars. So to get into this war, it's such a fundamental betrayal of one of the core tenets of this movement.

#Streeting is stealth privatiding the NHS, just like Blair stealth privatised education with academisation.

The USA were the only country in the world that voted against a bill to improve women's rights.
Largely because they thought it might make their complete abortion ban illegal.
