#SIRANDYMURRAY

Scottish tennis star Andy Murray has spoken of his pride after finally receiving his knighthood at Buckingham Palace.

@Juniecam tweeted: “Sir Andrew Barron Murray. Arise Sir. This just melts my heart. Many congratulations Andy Murray. We love you and all that you’ve done for tennis and sport.”

@Beerorlicious said: “Andy Murray has received his knighthood at Buckingham Palace – more than two years after he was awarded the honour. Arise, Sir Andy Murray.”

@Coik, obviously a fan of Game of Thrones, joked: “In the name of the Warrior I charge you to be brave. In the name of the Father I charge you to be just. In the name of the Mother I charge you to defend the innocent. Arise Andrew Barron Murray. A knight of the Seven kingdoms. Ser Andy Murry.”

#1922COMMITTEE

The executive of the influential group of backbench Tory MPS met Theresa May to thrash out a departure date for the Prime Minister. The PM, who did not set a date, was said to be emotional in the ‘frank’ meeting.” @tnewtondunn wrote: “The 1922 Committee executive blinks, and gives Theresa May two more weeks. She will set out a timetable to quit in early June, after the Withdrawal Agreement Bill.” @athomewaiting said: “For goodness sake, if they fall for this they are stupid. If she’s almost crying then she needs to go now. She’s reached the end. But no, the spineless Graham Brady is fooled again.”

#THEVIRTUES

Actor Stephen Graham, fresh from a stunning turn in Line of Duty, has been praised for his appearance in Shane Meadows’ new drama series.

@Challey90 said: “I feel like I’m spending a large proportion of my life concerned for Stephen Graham’s welfare at the moment.”

@louseagraves tweeted: “I’m a mess and it’s only the first episode. Count down for next week starts. Stephen Graham gritty and so emotive, as always.”

@stephens_ben wrote: “15 mins into The Virtues and I already care about all these characters more than I care about anyone on Game of Thrones.”

@denofgeek added: “Stephen Graham gives a career-best performance in Shane Meadow’s new C4 drama The Virtues.”
