#BORISJOHNSON

Boris Johnson was trending after UK Chancellor Philip Hammond stated he is not ‘unsackable’. Ruth Davidson echoed the sentiment stating she would have sacked the Foreign Secretary if she was serving on the front bench. @Rogerhelmermep said: “If Theresa May is thinking of sacking Cabinet colleagues, she should start with Philip Hammond, not Boris Johnson.” @elashton said: “Philip Hammond looks absolutely *thrilled* to be asked repeated questions about Boris Johnson” @Polhomeeditor said: “Pretty clear that Philip Hammond thinks Boris Johnson is a real pain in the ***”

#GUNCONTROL

America was divided over the issue of gun control once more following the Las Vegas shooting. Amnesty International was keen to see gun law reform to “ensure everyone’s safety and security”. @ladygaga said: “This is terrorism plain and simple. Terror bares no race, gender or religion. Democrats & Republicans please unite now” @Proudresister said: “REPUBLICANS: Guns do not kill people. People kill people. TRUTH: People who should not have access to guns kill people. Common Sense” @Hermosatormenta said: “Police: Gunman had “in excess of 10 rifles” WHY? Why does one need 10 rifles!?”
