#HARRYPOTTER20

Harry Potter fans celebrated 20 years since the release of JK Rowling’s famous first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. @jk_rowling tweeted: “20 years ago today a world that I had lived in alone was suddenly open to others. It’s been wonderful. Thank you.” @jasmoon934 said: “Thank you, @jk_rowling for creating this universe and enriching my life. Happy #Harrypotter20!” @sammauriceee posted: “Today marks #Harrypotter20! A book series that made me believe in magic, friendship and a place where I found my love of reading.” @Jpellegrini1983 said: “Everyone’s favorite wizard turns 20 today! Thank you @jk_rowling for your brilliant creation. We are all so grateful!”

#DUPCOALITION

The Conservatives and Democratic Unionist Party signed a deal that includes £1 billion of new funding for Northern Ireland in exchange for support to prop up a minority government – after Theresa May said there was no money tree. @Jakepage17 tweeted: “Can’t find the money to fund the NHS properly, but can afford £1,000,000,000 to form a coalition of Tories and DUP.” @Bolsoverbeast shared: “Question: What does £1bn buy? Answer: 10 votes and a tenuous grasp on power.” @Everay1 noted: “£1bn for a deal the Tories could stay in office without. Anyone still unconvinced that May is unfit for office?” @Marcherlord1 posted: “Plaid Cymru are missing a good chance here. Offer your 3 seats to the govt – got to be worth £400-500m to Wales?”

#QNLZATSEA

HMS Queen Elizabeth, a 280-metre, 65,000-tonne aircraft carrier, set out from Rosyth on the Firth of Forth, the largest and most powerful ship ever built for the Royal Navy. @fire_event tweeted: “God Bless the @HMSQNLZ #Hmsqueenelizabeth and all who sail on her, at last a fitting flagship for the @Royalnavy” @falklands_utd said: “Good luck @HMSQNLZ as she sets sail for the 1st time today! Do feel free to stop by for a cup of tea in the future!” @kimondo joked: “Worked out that manouvering the @HMSQNLZ out of the dock would be the equivalent of parking a Mazda Bongo with 34mm to spare.”
