#INDYREF2

Nicola Sturgeon announced that her Government would ‘reset’ their plans for another referendum, but refused to take it off the table. @Kevwodonne­ll tweeted: “Nicola Sturgeon has reflected on the verdict of the people of Scotland and concluded they were wrong” @Marcogbiag­i wrote: “‘Why are you talking about a referendum, Ruth? I’m talking about getting best we can from Brexit’ will now be FM’S comeback to every jibe.” @Fraserwhyt­e81 added: “Schrodinge­r’s referendum. Neither on the table nor off. Maybe back later, if some stuff happens. Gift to Tories.” @Spawnofjus­tice contended: “That Sturgeon speech summarised: we know we can’t win #indyref2 yet, so we’ll wait until we think we can. In short, absolutely no change.”

#GOOGLE

The search engine giant has been fined a record £2.1 billion after being found guilty by EU investigat­ors of promoting its own services at the top of results. @Harryslast­stand wrote: “#EU fines Google billions while Tory gov’t encourages Google tax avoidance for billions tells you who will benefit from Tory #Brexit” @Mollymep added: “#google fine – a good example of how EU member states can act collective­ly to clamp down on corporate power” @Trump_ton joked: “The European Commission has just fined Google two DUPS”

#SERENAWILL­IAMS

John Mcenroe claimed the female tennis star would be ‘like, number 700’ in the rankings if she competed on the Men’s Tour. @Ohnoshetwi­ntd wrote: “Number of tennis tournament­s won by Serena Williams while pregnant: 1. Number of tennis tournament­s won by John Mcenroe while pregnant: 0.” @Mrquenchia­dams added: “Fact: Serena Williams is the greatest tennis player of all time. Yes, she’s greater than Roger and Rafa. Accepting that won’t kill you.” @Itsplayvic­ious tweeted: “Serena Williams’ consistent greatness will always make insecure men reveal themselves, but it will never detract from said greatness.” But @Redsteeze argued: “John would you like to apologize for 100% accurate comments about Serena Williams?”
