#ELECTIONPOLLS

Two separate polls predicted two different outcomes: that the Tories would win a majority of more than 100 seats or there would be a hung parliament. @Aidankerrtweets tweeted: “We could have our first double general election year since 1974. Hoorah!” @Kayleighmquinn wrote: “Will block people who even DISCUSS another election this year.” @Ed_miliband joked: “The pollsters have been off my Christmas card list since 2015. #justsaying” @edballs posted: “It’s a concerning trend that polls now often driving the news - and becoming political events in themselves. Same true in 2015.” @tnewtondunn noted: “So Yougov tonight are projecting a hung parliament, and Comres a 100+ Tory majority. One will look very silly on June 9.”

#COVFEFE

US president Donald Trump baffled the Twitter users after posting this late night tweet: “Despite the constant negative press covfefe.” @Bryanclarkchi asked: “If Starbucks doesn’t release an orange drink called covfefe, then why even have a marketing department?” @xavecbdl shared: “Spelling bee competition: - ‘Your word is covfefe.’ - ‘Can you use it in a sentence?’ ‘Despite the negative press covfefe.’” @Chrisjzullo posted: “Covfefe is alternative universe where Hillary Clinton won electoral vote, we stayed in Paris Agreement and AHCA didn’t destroy healthcare.” @d_g_reeves tweeted: “Ask your doctor about covfefe. Side effects may include: compulsive lying, sociopathic behaviour, delusions of grandeur, tiny hands…”

#NORDICPMS

The Nordic prime ministers commemorated a joint meeting to discuss achieving UN Sustainable Development goals with a photo that seemed to mock one of Donald Trump in Saudi Arabia. @Leoblutz observed: “Don’t forget that trolls originated from the Nordic regions.” @Loukas_rs asked: “Erm are they making a reference to a certain other globebased photo?” @Numbersmuncher tweeted: “Brutal... the Nordic prime ministers’ recreating Trump’s orb photo. Or they like soccer. I don’t know, but the mocking angle plays better.”
