#SCONE

Ah, Twitter where the great issues of the day are debated. Yesterday, how do you pronounce scone? @niall1974: “These are the issues that really matter - for the record, I say ‘scone’.” @Emmavaleri­o82: “My Cornish family say scone as in cone.” @Coughdropk­ate: “Apparently scone that rhymes with cone is posher.” @Groomb: “Depends whether you mean scone or Scone.”

#BLAIR

The former Prime Minister has suggested that he is “almost motivated” to return to frontline politics. @briantwid: “Words to make your heart sink! ‘Tony Blair ‘feels motivated’ to return to frontline politics’.” @Lucythekha­leesi: “Nah you’re alright mate.” @Snoozeinbr­ief: “It has been many, many years since Tony Blair was good at doing politics.” @Nmacklon: “Time to move on from New Labour and Iraq and for Tony Blair to lead the new centre of reasoned British Politics.” @kathy279: “Tony Blair please return to front line politics. The Labour Party needs you urgently. #Corbynout.” @Dashmillio­n: “Tony Blair is banking on people having forgotten what he did to Britain and the world as he returns to politics... Never forget #Tonyblair.”
