#BREXIT

Shadow Brexit secretary Keir Starmer clarified Labour’s policy that they will oppose a hard Brexit and push for the UK to stay in the single market in the short term. @Davidlammy said: ‘It is our job to fight a disastrous hard Brexit that will crash the economy, slash jobs and destroy living standards. Time to get to work.’ @Chukaumunna posted: ‘As I’ve said all along, we need clear red water between the PM’S job-destroying Brexit+our position – this is a welcome step in that direction.’ @Pickardje offered: ‘Most dramatic bit is where Labour suggests UK could remain in single market, but only if freedom of movement rules change. A massive “if”.’ @oflynnmep shared: ‘Looks like Lab are starting a long game to reverse Brexit without having the courage to say openly that is what they want to do.’

#MAYWEATHERMCGREGOR

The most lucrative bout in the history of fighting went the way of Floyd Mayweather after he knocked Conor Mcgregor out in the tenth round. @Hailcaesarbeats acknowledged: ‘Congrats to Floyd Mayweather for the win but Conor Mcgregor is still a champ for going all the way to the 10th round.’ @richiminh posted: ‘#Mayweathervmcgregor Connor Mcgregor lasted 10 rounds in a boxing ring. Can Mayweather last 1 in the octagon??’ @Primecarmelo shared: ‘Imagine bragging that a 28 year old went 10 rounds with a 40 year old who retired 2 years ago.’ @Alaneurotrash stated: ‘A 40 yr old boxer and a man first time in the boxing ring went 10 rounds. Respect to both of them.’

#GAMEOFTHRONES

Game of Thrones fans prepared for the finale by offering predictions for the last episode of the season. @Akashmoney99 tweeted: ‘#Gameofthrones Everybody out here worrying about Mcgregor-mayweather, while I’m just sitting here waiting for Clegane Bowl.’ @amandasally said: ‘My father’s #gameofthrones finale prediction... “Snow and the Dragon lady will get married by Cersei & Tyrion will be best man.”’ @heynottheface suggested: ‘My prediction for this weekend – we’ll all be disappointed in the GOT season finale.’
