#PMQS

Outgoing Conservative Party leader Theresa May made her last appearance at Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons.

@Shehabkhan wrote: “Remarkable exchange during #PMQS between Ian Blackford and Theresa May. He accuses the Tories of being ‘silent’ on racism and says they are ‘moving to the extremes of Donald Trump & Nigel Farage’. She responds by saying the SNP are ‘appealing to blatant nationalism’.”

@Paul_waugh added:” SNP’S @Ianblackfordmp points out (as Corbyn did) the link between Trump and May’s ‘go home vans’. May says in reply ‘I said at the time that was too blunt an instrument’. Reader, she was only Home Secretary at the time.

@bbclaurak noted: “May attacks Corbyn over antisemitism, Corbyn attacks May over Islamophobia.”

@Polhomeeditor wrote: “Watching Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May argue about whose party is the most racist is pretty unedifying.”

#WORLDEMOJIDAY

Could a designated ‘day’ sounds more meaningless? And yet...

@Ajplus noted: “Apple previewed some new, more inclusive emojis for #Worldemojiday – including people with disabilities + interracial couples.”

@RNIB added: “Do you use emojis in your messages and social media? We’ve teamed up with@ we are social to make them more accessible for blind and partially sighted people.”

@wef AKA the World Economic Foundation had a word for naysayers: “Emojis aren’t the ruin of language – they are the next step in digital communication.”

@Uknatarchives asked: “What if our medieval marginalia were emojis? Tell us how you would use them!”

@Khalilushtar said: “When words fall short, emojis make up for it and make other feel the same.”
