#THERESAMAY

Theresa May is set to become Prime Minister on Wednesday after Conservati­ve Party leadership rival Andrea Leadsom dramatical­ly dropped out of the race. @Gazweetman wrote: “So: 9am Theresa May announces campaign to be PM. 10am Leadsom quits race. 4pm Cameron says May will be PM by Weds. As campaigns go, not bad.” @James_orme_ said: “Theresa May is going to be a great PM, would have won it hands down in the first place!” @D_blanchflow­er wrote: “Although I may not agree with her on many things, it’s clear Theresa May is a qualified candidate.” @Shanebazte posted: “Ah yes, Theresa May getting the PM job unopposed. Nothing like being ruled by unelected officials.” @setankwart tweeted: “So taking back control means you get a new PM whom you did not vote for? Sounds like the damned EU system we were supposedly escaping”

#ANDYMURRAY

Andy Murray sobbed into his towel after scooping his second Wimbledon title and fans were suitably delighted. @Gilly_blair posted: “At a time when the leaders of our country quit when it gets tough, @andy_murray winning 2nd Wimbledon is even more inspiring #Leadbyexam­ple” @Keithfruit was shocked to hear the crowd booing when Andy mentioned the PM in his speech: “Sad to hear ppl booing David Cameron at Wimbledon. Lack of respect for Andy Murray ‘s speech and just rude.” @My1strecor­d said: “Incredibly impressed by #Andymurray winning #Wimbledon. His performanc­e was ruthless & brutal & he’s ready to take on #Djokovic for No1”

#TINTHEPARK

After this year’s T in the Park, at which two people died and an ATM cash machine was stolen, there have been calls to close the controvers­ial festival down. @vape_ wrote:”forget the minority who are ruining the reputation of T in the Park and putting folk off! Six years on and it’s still my favourite weekend of the year” @Roisintike­tybu said: “Had such an amazing weekend at T in the park and ended up meeting a fantastic bunch of people.” @elliehayx wrote: “Anyone who says they don’t wish they were at T in the Park this weekend is lying. What a weekend!!” But @franktheta­nk133 said: “Omg T in the Park was such a shambles. There were so many disgruntle­d youths drunk on drugs and alcohol.”
