#COMEYTESTIMONY

Former FBI director James Comey gave explosive testimony to a Senate committee over Trump’s ties to Russia. @Ciara_knight joked: “What idiot decided to call it the #Comeytestimony instead of James and the Giant Impeach?” @peterdaou noted: “I’ve argued Trump will likely survive the Russia scandal. Still, the Comey testimony is already far worse for him than the GOP expected.” @Dawkinsdog observed: “I see Donald Trump hasn’t tweeted today. One can only presume he hasn’t managed to chew through the straps yet.” @mark_sedgwick wrote: “If by tomorrow we have Corbyn elected and Trump impeached the world might just start making sense again.”

#EMILYDAVISON

Yesterday marked 104 years to the day that suffragette Emily Davison ran in front of the King’s horse. @Jolyonmaugham tweeted: “Emily Davison died on this day. She died trying to garland the King’s horse with a “Votes for Women” sash. Use the vote she died to win.” @David_oakes posted: “Emily Davison died protesting 104 years ago today. Arrested 9x & force fed 49x whilst on hunger strike, all to make democracy more fair.” @thejeremyvine shared: “A moment that echoes today. Suffragette Emily Davison is fatally injured by the King’s horse in 1913.” @Attheraces said: “Remembering Emily Davison on Election Day. The suffragette died 104 years ago today of injuries sustained at the 1913 Derby.”

#PHILCOLLINS

Phil Collins cancelled shows after being hospitalised after falling at his home. @blahblahellis opined: “Phil Collins rushed to hospital after a fall on his way to the toilet. I’m not a fan of his music, but nobody deserves that as a headline.” @Paldousmusic wrote: “Sad to hear about Phil Collins’ accident. Hope there’s no lasting damage. Fun fact, I’m actually named after him – my Dad loves Genesis!” @friday_the_12th tweeted: “Phil Collins has had to postpone 2 shows? I cannot believe it’s true... A fall during the night was against all odds. Get well soon Phil!!”
