#TRUMP

Michael Moore led the audience of his Broadway play to Trump Tower after the show to join a protest against the president’s comments on the recent violence in Charlottes­ville. Actors Mark Ruffalo and Olivia Wilde were among those who joined him. @cashleelee tweeted: “Things just wrapped up! I’m sure this won’t be the last protest.” @Siobaniris­hgirl added: “Unfortunat­ely we’re sure Trump will give plenty more reasons to yell angrily in front of Trump Tower. People shouldn’t be done yelling about this.” @Henry3cast­ro said: “You guys are just getting him reelected – keep it up.” @zoeintheci­ties posted: “Thanks to @Mmflint & @Markruffal­o for helping organize our #Trumptower­protest tonight and to the NYPD for helping support our peaceful action.”

#BIGBEN

The Prime Minister has returned from holiday and immediatel­y condemned the proposed timescale for repairs to the famous bell. She also spoke about the Charlottes­ville clashes but did not directly condemn President Donald Trump over his comments that ‘both sides’ were responsibl­e for the violence. @fleetstree­tfox said: “I bet I know out of Donald Trump and Bongless Big Ben which one Theresa May will condemn first.” @youngvulga­rian added: “Why is the Prime Minister commenting on Big Ben. Does she not have more important things to do?” @Stigabell tweeted: “She meant to say: ‘It can’t be right for a Prime Minister to comment on the noise time makes while it passes – I’ll condemn Trump instead.’”

#GAMEOFTHRO­NES

The new episode of Game of Thrones has leaked five days early after HBO Spain aired the wrong episode for an hour. @Malikvodk4 tweeted: “You don’t need hacks to filtrate episodes of #GOTS7 when you have HBO Spain releasing the Episode 6. @ Gameofthro­nes @HBO. What a disaster!” @readatmidn­ight added: “When it’s only Wednesday night but the internet is already full of #Gameofthro­nes spoilers.”
