#BREXIT

Leaders of the remaining 27 EU states agreed Theresa May’s Chequers blueprint for Brexit will not work in its present form, European Council president Donald Tusk has said.

@jonworth posted: “Ah. I see it’s #Brexit point the finger week! Here’s an idea, Theresa. Make Brexit work and all these pesky people will go away.”

@petertimmi­ns3 added: “If #Brexit were cancelled most of the population would be relieved, some would be angry at the waste of money and a few gammons would be fuming. A month later the majority of the population would be getting on with their lives. The gammons would still be fuming, but off the TV.”

@Ohdearodel­ls sighed: “I fear Theresa May would always be the slightly awkward one at a social or business gathering with or without the #Brexit baggage.”

@Alicegribb­in stressed: “No matter where you stand on #Brexit, if you’re not happy with how it’s playing out you MUST write to your MP. They need a clear picture of what the public wants now.”

#MANGO

Australian police are investigat­ing after a customer found a needle inside a mango purchased from a Coles supermarke­t on New South Wales’ Central Coast. At least three children have been connected to false or copycat incidents across Australia as police investigat­e numerous reports of needle sabotage.

@darenothop­e declared: “Mangoes are my favourite. This is madness.”

@tony_bigman countered: “Media reporting that people are finding needles in #strawberri­es, #bananas, #apples and even #mangos now... Next they’ll tell us they have found that #needle in a #haystack!”

@Retrojethr­o80 stated: “It’s all fun and games until someone puts a #needle in a #mango. This is war people, make no mistake about it.”

#DOCTORWHO

The official trailer for the new season of Doctor Who, which premieres on 7 October, was released yesterday.

@ecossefilm­maker praised: “I am not ashamed in admitting that watching the new #doctorwho trailer brought a lump to my throat. Jodie, you are my Doctor.”

@jamesmoran declared: “Okay, so this is why I’m so excited about the #Doctorwho trailer: fun, bright colours, adventure, laughs, warmth, heart, helping people, fixing things, goggles, song choice, ‘let’s get a shift on’, everything else. All of which is why I am SO READY. BRING IT.”

@Cooperhill­ier celebrated: “You have done it right, it’s fantastic. My all time favorite show is back. I can’t stop smiling.”
