#NAMEOURSTORMS

As the weather continues to surprise and delight, the Met Office asked the public to suggest suitable names for the next round of storms.

@Sunnygladeclose wrote: “Storm Boris. Everybody starts off laughing at it, but then it arrives and does loads of damage.”

@alya_zyd added: “If it’s not Stormy Mcstormface I’m not going to be happy.”

@shakxly joked: “If you don’t name a storm, Storm #Trooper, then you’ve missed an absolutely excellent opportunity.”

@localnotail rather took the fun out of the exercise with: “Climate Change, Poverty, Inequality, Pollution, Sexism, Xenophobia...”

@Bcozreasons wet blanketed: “We don’t get storms worthy of naming. Let it go.”

@Bapplechase said: “Storm Zee, Storm E Daniels.”

@Ray_mac1 wrote: “Name them after politicians, they’re always blowing hot and cold air, full of depressing drips and bring nothing but misery to ordinary people’s everyday lives .... ”

@Racingpointf! tweeted: “Teacup.”

@readdead1 suggested: “Sharknado.”

@DAKEM_MCFC wrote: “Hurricane Higgins. Storm Daniels. Gale Platt.” @Therainbowstand offered: “Storm Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrob wllllantysiliogogogoch.”

#CORBYNOUTRIDER

Supporters of the beleaguered Labour leader got on their Twitter steeds after the term gained currency as an insult to Jeremy Corbyn supporters.

@melaniekmelvin wrote: “I am a #Corbynoutrider who is proud to ride with a man who has always put himself on the line for the good of others, who has fought all his life for a better, fairer, kinder society, who has retained his dignity under fire for 3 years.”

@mac123_m added: “Proud to be a #Corbynoutrider. Someone who fights for social justice. Is against foreign wars. Wants to fight against climate change. Fights for the NHS. Fights for ordinary people.”

@Redrozeik said: “Call me what you want, I believe in social justice and a fairer society. Only Corbyn is promising that, and I believe he’ll do his very best to deliver.”

@Nikkiclarkejb cheered: “I have my wheelchair charged & ready to be a #Corbynoutrider . I will not be ‘shamed’ out of wanting a fairer society.”
