#GRENFELLTOWER

Residents attempted to storm Kensington town hall, home of the local authority which oversaw the refurbishment of Grenfell Tower, to demand answers following the tragic blaze

@Shiriakhatun said: ‘Residents deserve answers and those victims who lost their homes deserve to be rehoused locally’

@_addison_92 added: ‘If you don’t believe storming Kensington town hall is an acceptable response to what’s happened recently go and hit that unfollow button’

@UKTDH commented: ‘How on Earth is this peaceful, unlawfully breaking an entry to the council building? You’re not helping yourselves.’

@tradepilot observed: ‘What you are witnessing outside Kensington town hall right now is years of frustration. And the guilty continue to hide’

@johnstephen114 said: ‘Why will no highly paid council official do their duty & speak to residents at Kensington town hall? A disgrace and utterly shameful’

#WHOLEFOODS

Online retail giant Amazon announced it was paying $13.7 billion to buy the high-end Whole Foods supermarket chain.

@hacknet commented: ‘I guess this proves Whole Foods is apparently as expensive as, uh, Whole Foods’

@jeremybowers said: ‘Tell me it hasn’t happened to you: You walk into a Whole Foods to pick up some Kombucha and $13.7 billion later you’ve got the whole chain’

@animalfriespls offered: ‘Little does Amazon know, $13.7 billion will only get you half a basket of groceries at Whole Foods’

@Jimgaffigan said: ‘Nice to know I wasn’t the only one overcharged by Whole Foods’

#HELMUTKOHL

@Eimo53 added: ‘Saddened to hear of the passing of Helmut Kohl, a great European and instrumental in making a peaceful reunification of Germany possible’

@Joseraigal said: ‘Helmut Kohl was a leader at a time of strong leadership across Europe’
