#DAVIDDAVIS

David Davis outlined the UK Government’s plans for Brexit in the House of Commons, calling it a “historic and positive moment for our nation”. @creativebl­ock_ said: “David Davis, Minister for Having Cake and Eating it.” @patientman observed: “You may as well ask a pigeon why the sky is blue as ask David Davis how Brexit will be achieved.” @jrmaidment tweeted: “MPS are hungry for Brexit detail. They are clearly dissatisfi­ed with what they have been fed from David Davis.” @Seanlightb­own wrote: “Can already see David Davis channeling Corporal Jones.” @Yvettecoop­ermp posted: “Astonishin­gly empty statement from Brexit Sec David Davis. No plan, no sense of grip, no detail. It’s too important for this kind of drift.”

#DANIELCRAI­G

Sony Pictures have reportedly offered actor Daniel Craig $150 million (£112m) to complete two more films amid speculatio­n he wants to give up the role of James Bond. @Hannaflint wrote: “Daniel Craig being offered $150m to do two more movies is ridiculous. The franchise doesn’t need him for continued success.” @Strangeshe­rlock said: “Did Sony even watch Spectre? It was clear Daniel Craig didn’t want to be there, cast somebody else.” @Chrisrgmcp­hail tweeted: “Daniel Craig as Ian Fleming’s James Bond 007 in ‘I’m Only Doing This For The Money’.” @gobergmose­r observed: “I get Daniel Craig was in some Bond films that everyone liked, but $150m to entice back the guy who spent all of Spectre hating life?”

#FREDDIE70

Twitter users paid tribute to Queen frontman Freddie Mercury on what would have been his 70th birthday. @garyjkemp tweeted: “Have fab memories of being with Freddie in Barcelona, Rio, Munich. A lovely man and one of the greatest showmen I’ve ever seen.” @Bethyclyro said: “Freddie would be 70 today. It breaks my heart to know he was taken too soon. Love you, Freddie. My absolute hero.” @cerebrumix said: “‘I won’t be a rockstar. I will be a legend.’ You were right. Freddie, you’re a legend.”
