I remember when there used to be real, witty people on Twitter, not just Trump fanbots.

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
RT if you agree
P.s. multiculturalism is great.

I was disappointed that our government has not condemned Trump’s actions in
Venezuela, nor the seizing of oil tankers.
Now it turns out that the UK MoD rendered assistance to the US in the latest seizure, that of a Russian flagged vessel.
I am appalled.

So the president that thinks he is entitled to a Nobel Peace Prize has launched an unprovoked attack against Venezuela?

Farage should never be interviewed without being forced to answer for failures of Brexit. That the man whose lies fuelled Brexit vote which has cost UK Billions & who said Liz Truss budget was “best Tory budget since 1986” could be trusted on *anything* is mind-boggling #bbclaura

Our NHS is not for sale. Trade talks with Trump must not enable US healthcare companies to profit from our NHS. Keir Starmer must protect our NHS by keeping it off the table during negotiations. Join me by adding your name to 38 Degrees’ petition: 38d.gs/ijcd

Apparently in response to the Gulf of America silliness, Mexico is now referring to the country to their north as ‘Aqui Hay Gringos Locos’. Countries in South America are expected to follow suit.
