#MERYLSTREEP

Meryl Streep delivered an emotional speech at the Golden Globes in which she criticised Donald Trump for imitating a disabled reporter while campaigning to be president. @realdonaldtrump angrily replied: “Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn’t know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes.” @jakern41 commended the actress for speaking out: “Meryl Streep made the Golden Globes so meaningful. Such a great speech. Heartfelt, poignant and politically on point. Well done. Loved it.” @Pacat15 added: “Meryl Streep is a national treasure. Trump is a national embarrassment.” @Mikepencevp, the vice president-elect, piped up: “Why isn’t Meryl Streep upset about Hillary bullying Americans, calling them deplorables, basement dwellers, super predators??”

#NICOLASTURGEON

The First Minister, who has been critical of Prime Minister Theresa May’s actions in the run-up to Brexit, said there wouldn’t be a new vote on Scotland’s future this year. @cghgreen said: “There will be no #Indyref2 this year, Sturgeon tells news – no great surprises there, 2018 far more probable.” @Scottories added: “Ruth [Davidson] on Sturgeon ruling out 2017 referendum: ‘This is an empty gesture from a First Minister who is leaving Scotland in limbo.’” @Millermattu was not surprised by the news: “Sturgeon rules out a 2017 referendum she was never going to hold. Roll on 2018.” @Davida phillips1 said: “Nicola Sturgeon is waiting until people see Brexit for the mess it really is, then she’ll have #Indyref2 in 2018.”
