I love Twitter because everyone's always polite and no one ever takes anything you say literally, never.
- She’s won £2.5million, if she wins another slam she’ll be the only teenager who can put a deposit on a flat in London.
- Murray did it properly - he put us through 4 years of agony before he finally won one - none of this straight from A levels in Bromley to champion in 6 months nonsense.
- Let me be gracious. All the people celebrating now are the most entitled, embittered, sneering nasty selfish racist foul fuckwits. I’d still rather be with the decent people, however gutted they are, than be you for a second.
- Chris Witty should announce sternly that it's now clear the number of people who despise Johnson is doubling every two days, and we have to accept it will have affected everyone by Christmas, especially anyone who's been in close contact with him.
- My local doctors' surgery has a fun system for booking appointments. You have to call at exactly 8am and hope you get through. Almost certainly you won't, then by 8.05 all appointments have gone. It's exciting, like trying to buy a ticket to see One Direction.
- My dearest friend @JeremyJHardy left us early this morning. I was so lucky to have spent 35 years arseing about with him. Knowing him as I did, I know he wouldn't want you to be sad, he'd want you to be bloody devastated x
- So 370 years after the Civil War, we have arrived at a point where if the Royal Family overthrew parliament and took control of the country, that would be a move to the left.
- Israel is clearly taking the piss, certain it can get away with anything. They could gun down David Attenborough, say it was because Hamas had a tunnel in his arse and no European leader would complain.
- What an excellent idea it was, to choose who runs the country by asking a few thousand elderly people with huge lawns.
- A nice man from UCL Hospital called this week, to say a scan of me showed the cancer I had has all gone. The treatment worked, the cancer bottled it and ran off, the wimp.
- When Matt Hancock has to stick his head into a tank of poisonous ants, Ant and Dec should tell him he can’t have a mask like everyone else as they’ve run out of protective equipment. So he’ll have to make do with a bin liner.
- You have to feel for her, crying like that. She managed to hold back tears when she visited Grenfell survivors, and deported Windrush citizens, and dismissed the rise in food banks, but today, bless her, the emotion became too much for her.
- Apparently there’s a pride of hungry lions eating everyone in the town centre. But I’m going down there anyway, no one’s telling me I can’t live my normal life. Anyway if I stay home, the lions have won.
