#WOMANSHOUR
Jeremy Corbyn came unstuck in an interview on the BBC’S Woman’s Hour over figures for Labour’s childcare policy. @basspuffin asked: “I’m quite appalled by this Jeremy Corbyn interview is whether he’s memorised a number honestly more important than his plans?” @Bethmlmiddleton shared: “After seeing how Corbyn has remained calm in every hostile interview I am now even more sure that he’s the man for the job.” @scottjames1981 tweeted: “Can anyone point me to where the Tories have priced up anything? Anything at all? Even suggested costs? Anyone?” @Blackburnja noted: “Corbyn having an Abbott on Woman’s Hour. Doesn’t have figure for cost of childcare.”
#SNPMANIFESTO
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon launched her party’s manifesto in Perth, including pledges for £120bn public spending and securing Scotland’s place in the single market. @Alasdair91 observed: “You’ve gotta love that the only fault journalists can find with SNP manifesto is that Nicola Sturgeon isn’t on the front cover…” @Patrickspeople opined: “If you’re wondering about why Scotland excels UK it’s because the Tories run UK government & SNP run Scotland. Tories = bad gov.” @peterwardgd tweeted: “SNP manifesto probably an interesting read, shame so many young Scots can’t do just that. The literacy rate is spiralling under Sturgeon.” @Wistfulcass said: “SNP manifesto drops indyref2 down to 11th in their list of priorities. Like Tory U-turns caused by Labour, SNP influenced by Ruth D Mania?”
#MIKEDUBKE
The Trump White House’s Director of Communications has resigned just three months into the job. @Shewhovotes posted: “Mike Dubke never should have boarded the Titanic in the first place, but he’s smart to be among the first to the lifeboats. More will flee.” @Kaivanshroff wrote: “White House Communications Director Mike Dubke says his reasons for leaving are “personal.” Aka does not want to go to jail.” @Chionetoo noted: “Mike Dubke’s resignation points to the chaos that defines the Trump administration since Day 1, the day ISIS was destroyed & healthcare was fixed.”
