# NIGELFARAG­E

A newspaper reported that Nigel Farage is a ‘ person of interest’ in the FBI investigat­ion into Donald Trump’s links to Russia. @ Nigel_ Farage himself posted: “This hysterical attempt to associate me with the Putin regime is a result of the liberal elite being unable to accept Brexit and Trump.” @ hourlyterr­ier tweeted: “If Nigel Farage has been going abroad aiding extremists like the FBI suspects, will Ukip demand that he’s not allowed back into the country?” @ rantingkat asked: “Wait, if Nigel Farage is detained by the FBI, will he suddenly be in favour of human rights?” @ Pappiness noted: “If there was any possible way the US could put Nigel Farage behind bars, the Brits might finally forgive us for the American Revolution.”

# SGTPEPPER

Yesterday marked 50 years since The Beatles released their seminal album, Sgt Pepper ’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. @ phatandy commented: “My neighbour had it. We listened to it and it blew our minds. I couldn’t believe music could sound that good. Still can’t.” @ Markmaguir­e_ tweeted: “Mccartney’s bass work in ‘ Lovely Rita’ is phenomenal. How have I only just noticed that?” @ eurkkuh10 wrote: “I’ve been listening to Sgt Pepper for the whole day and I feel like it’s not enough! This album is the best!” @ itsanna_ again pondered: “I wonder what it must have been like to listen to A Day in the Life when it came out 50 years ago…”
