#MOONDAY
Twitter marked the 48th anniversary of man first landing on the moon. The lunar module Eagle touched down on the satellite at 8.18pm on July 20, with Neil Armstrong becoming the first man to walk on the moon in the early hours of July 21. @danjswartz said: “48 yrs ago, I was six and sitting in front of our TV watching the first man on the moon. Gives me chills today...” @Hampshirecat added: “Americans walked on the Moon in the late 60s/early 70s. But why has no one gone back? Madness” @Mrbonmot offered: “Imagine if Apollo 11 had got all the way to the Moon only to discover they forgot to pack the flags” @fel_craycray commented: “Neil Armstrong could’ve pulled the ultimate prank by leaving someone’s keys on the moon”
#VINCECABLE
Sir Vince Cable has been crowned leader of the Liberal Democrats without a contest after the veteran politican stood unopposed to replace Tim Farron, who quit last month. @caronmlindsay said: “Today @Libdems welcome @vincecable as leader. Certainly an advantage to have one of most credible & knowledgable voices on economy in UK” @Thattimwalker claimed: “Vince Cable will outclass Corbyn and May in the Commons, especially on Brexit. A turning point in the fortunes of the Lib Dems” @mikelallen6 offered: “Sir Vince Cable is the new leader of the Liberal Democrats. Both the party and its new leader have some thing in common – both are on their last legs” @Kevin_maguire said: “Congrats to 74 years young Vince Cable, poised to be the new Lib Dem leader. Hate the ageist sniping he’s faced. Sign I’m getting old!”
#ENGVSCO

Their thumping victory was impressive, but hope the Scots don’t lose heart” @lesyoung01 added: “Always rated Jodie Taylor, unlucky with injuries throughout her career but when fit one of the best finishes in the game. Onwards and upwards”
