Every one of these is another voter who - while they might not be putting an EU bumper sticker on their car this year - will be happy to vote for a party that aligns with - & eventually rejoins - the EU.

You know Brexit is going badly...
...When even the people behind it want to give the Germans credit for it.

I don’t know what you’ve been doing with your lockdown but I’ve been putting right the crime of there not being more Ustinov Poirot movies! Here’s an imagined lovely from 1980, relocated to the French Riviera. For @DrMarkAldridge With thanks to the great @claytonhickman
One thing little remarked upon:
As UKs main use to US has been:
1. US ally inside EU
2. Defence relationship
Now that 1 is gone...isn't it likey that UK will feel under greater pressure to fall in behind US in nr.2....?
Do Irish women have the secret to eternal youth...? https://twitter.com/nicktolhurst/status/1353335267843842051
These young ladies look incredibly young & beautiful to be Joe Biden's ancestors...
"Begriffsstutzig".
German for extremely naive & simple.
And just for the avoidance of doubt, Downing St tells me they would never doctor or photoshop a picture, and - as I assumed - it is the angle that makes it look strange. But it is certainly strange
Home tonight after a week in hospital after having this little lady. It’s been quite a ride. Huge thank you to the amazing team @huhmaternity who took such great care of us 1/16 (sorry 😬)
Do people think this is well known?

Useful article by @j_g_allen on importance of face masks
Homemade masks are 50% efficient
Blue surgical mask 60-80% efficient
For maximal protection use cloth mask over surgical mask 90% efficient

Went past Thomas Jefferson’s statue near the Musée d’Orsay this morning: as well as being the first 🇺🇸 Secretary of State, the second Vice President and the third President of the United States, he was also US Ambassador to France from 1785-1789 #topical
Vaccination is a very long game.
- Supply screw ups
- Second doses
- Vaccine 1.1 etc for new variants
- Annual vaccination programs

Black And Asian Medics Urge Britain's Minority Communities: Get The Covid Jab

Extraordinary that any journalist on a newspaper can be fired for tweeting something so mild. It would be equally outrageous if a @nytimes hack was fired for saying how excited they were by Trump's 2016 inauguration.
This is the most important thing I've ever written.
My friend and family Lauren @Wolfe321 was just fired by the @NYTimes after the NYT was pressured by fascists, Trumpkins and hypocrites on the right for tweeting she had "chills" after witnessing Biden's landing on the 20th.
First mini run in 6 weeks, perfectly timed for start of heavy snow.
Things to love:
Soft tread of half-frozen mud.
Quiet hiss of fat flakes falling on trees.
And back home the dog eating snowballs he's thrown.
This is the best thing I've seen today. Love it @StraightTie!
@paulwaugh I had this issue (on Android) and fixed it by turning off "reduce motion" in settings under accessibility. Hope that helps.
