#CORBYN
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn caused a stir by saying he would like to see a limit to the amount people are able to earn. @shelleylphelps suggested Mr Corbyn had strayed from the party line, tweeting: “‘It’s absolutely bonkers, he came up with it off the top of his head’, one Labour Party source tells me of Corbyn wage cap idea.” @jamesrbuk added: “Sky: you’re on £138k a year, would that be the cap? Corbyn: Er, I think it would be somewhat higher than that.” @thistlejohn joked: “Like any software update from a struggling tech company, the genius of Jeremy 2.0 is that you can’t tell what’s programming and what’s a bug.” @Bethrigby had a question: “Jeremy Corbyn says he wants to see a maximum earnings limit. City would hate it - but might the wider public rather like it?”
#POSTOFFICE
The Post Office is planning to close and franchise 37 Crown offices – with, the CWU trade union says, the loss of 300 jobs and 127 specialist roles. @Darranmurtagh said: “Another example of putting the price ahead of the value. Poor decision.” @ronharris58 lamented: “Very sad as a former post office member of staff.” @richardqspencer was less sympathetic, saying: “No bad thing, the service at Crown Post Offices is appalling. I only use local Post Offices now to avoid the stress.” @Malabus added: “Got these self-serving counters now. Get used to it, the robots are coming!”
#CHARLOTTECHURCH
The Welsh singer claimed she had been asked to sing at Donald Trump’s inauguration and tweeted that she was not interested. @charlottechurch said: “@realdonaldtrump Your staff have asked me to sing at your inauguration, a simple internet search would show I think you’re a tyrant. Bye.” @Lesism was sad: “Charlotte Church should have agreed to sing at Trump’s inauguration... she could have sang in Welsh and got up to some wonderful mischief!” @TVKEV wryly added: “Donald Trump invited selfstyled political firebrand Charlotte Church to sing at his inauguration. Luckily for him, she declined.” And X Factor winner @stevebrookstein cheekily chirruped: “Donald Trump not returning my calls.”
