#SCOTBUDGET

The Scottish Greens made a deal with the SNP to pass the Scottish budget. @David_ross86 noted: “Patrick Harvie is now listing all of the things wrong with the budget he is just about to vote for.” @Alanroden tweeted: “Wow. Well I’ve heard some confused speeches in parliament, but Patrick Harvie is now trying to attack a budget he will vote for.” @dhothersall opined: “This Snp-green budget slashes public services across Scotland. Do not let this government or their little helpers tell you otherwise.” @seantduffy observed: “Few in the press will admit it - but Scot Labour, and to some extent Scot Lib Dems - predicted this whole Scottish budget sellout back in May.”

#DAVIDHOCKNEY

The Sun has launched a new masthead today created by the British artist David Hockney. @Mrkenshabby shared: “I think David Hockney has been doing all the drawings my 3 year old son brings home from school.” @Charming_man__ posted: “That design that David Hockney has done for the Sun is quite pathetic. Looks like he’s done it on paint.” @Ouch1953 tweeted: “David Hockney has been fooling the art world for decades. No technical skills and repetitive. The Damien Hirst of gentle colours.” @48notwrong said: “When you see David Hockney trending & fear the worst then discover that it’s even worse than that…”

#GROUNDHOGDAY

Punxsutawney Phil the groundhog saw his shadow yesterday, predicting six more weeks of winter. @Ryanburklow posted: “Bad news everybody! The groundhog awoke this morning, saw who was president, and predicted a long, cold, dark, nuclear winter.” @Stuff_daddy tweeted: “Only in America do they accept weather predictions from a rodent but deny climate change evidence from scientists.” @paulscheer wrote: “Trump just signed an executive order that stated the groundhog didn’t see his shadow and now it’s summer.” @avitable said: “Punxsutawney Phil says 6 more weeks of winter, 7 more weeks of democracy, and 12 more weeks of civilization.”
