Idea for @MarcusRashford - could he get the PFA to agree that all Premier League players will pay a 20% "anti-poverty" levy on earnings above £1m pa? This would raise c£360m pa & could then be used for vast range of free school meal schemes etc. It would make a big difference.

Great monologue by @afneil - PM doesn’t have to agree to interview. But if he ducks it, Andrew Neil is entitled to point this out - & the Qs he would have asked - in blunt terms #GE19 General election 2019: Andrew Neil issues interview challenge to Johnson

I really hope Dom Cummings isn’t somewhere in that crowd. If he is, the Newsnight team have enough material for weeks of analysis and coverage.

Suddenly, being funded by rich individuals doesn’t have any impact at all on editorial output. Quite the U-turn by @GeorgeMonbiot

What a great 14 years at @iealondon - I can’t wait to see my successor Tom Clougherty in the hot seat. The greatest job in Westminster. And no better person to do it!

Have to say, fair play, @BBCSport nail it here. The “men’s” tournament. When Kane scored, in pubs and clubs down the land, we needed to remind ourselves it was only the “men’s” tournament. It makes the licence fee so important.

Haven’t watched @SkyNews for ages. Just discovered that every Wednesday from 945am-10am they basically run an advert/platform for the thuggish XR. Won’t be tuning in again for ages!

This insanity needs to stop. I want cops to fight crime not coarse humour, blasphemous cartoons or overuse of the F word.

It isn’t an offence of course. Impersonating a police officer is, though. I mean, a real police force wouldn’t do this would they?

This made me pause for reflection. A massive state sector project running enormously over budget. Who'd have thought that was even possible!?

HS2: MPs had 'enormously wrong' cost estimate, says whistleblower

A former HS2 boss says an early cost estimate MPs had was wrong by hundreds of millions of pounds.

“Envy of the world”. Utter farce that NHS uses fax machines. That’s where state socialist healthcare leads you. So ridiculous it’s tragic.

Isn't the best format for the #TVDebates to start with all 10 party leaders & let the public vote one or two of them off each week?

Last Nov, many seemed to think it would be great to elect a President just because of her gender. They seem quieter today. #frenchelection

@NickBoles @JulianSmithUK Genuinely confused. Rightly or wrongly, isn't the official policy of the Conservative Party against CM 2.0? Wasn't the manifesto against such a proposition? If so, isn't the raison d'etre of the whips office to whip against it?

Seems fair to deny public subsidy to unis who block freedom of speech. You can ban whoever you like on any grounds you like, but no taxpayer support at all if you choose that path.

If the under-25s are so upset at the referendum result, why did only 36% of them bother to vote?

Lol. “I’m not responsible for any of my behaviour. It’s the fault of my boss”. The end of this nonsense lying nonsense ,I hope. It’s not journalism. Just a lass who is deeply confused & tragically deciding to double down. Hope she gets the help she needs.

So strange that you're going after me, @arron_banks not @TEDTalks or @guardian . Almost as if you think bullying an individual journalist is more effective, intimidation-wise. You can add that one to the bill for free, if you like: you're a bully
