Yesterday Johnson claimed post-Brexit UK would lure world’s best brains. He highlighted discovery of graphene by Nobel-winning physicist Sir Andre Geim. Today we have Geim’s response: ‘don’t take us for fools - we can see the turmoil you are unleashing‘ thetimes.co.uk/article/e0274…

Great response by @SebDance to Humphrys off hand comment on @BBCRadio4 #r4today that a #PeoplesVote would be a betrayalof democracy: “The only betrayal was the fake prospectus sold to voters in 2016.”

Yes I suspect she will regret saying that slightly. A mild “Ratners moment”.

And she did say unto them ‘share thy hot take.’ And with righteous wrath they did declare, ‘thou fearest Saint Jeremy, friend of the poor, because he shall take from thee in taxation much more even than Herod, and so thou attackest the meek and honest saviour of this land.’ 2

And lo, unto her did appear a host of Corbyn defenders, who did descend upon her mentions, and she was not sore afraid, because she was used to it. And the host did sing with one voice, ‘ungodly woman, thou foolest us not. We know the true reason thou despisest Saint Jeremy.’ 1

‘Moral degenerate’, ‘intellectual vacuum’, ‘preening mountebank’. Yup, this, by ⁦@dcsandbrook⁩, pretty much sums it up. One day, any friend or relative of these people will be profoundly ashamed

Every time a Tory MP on news saying "I'm hearing that people want us to leave now" or "people want out of the customs union" I want you to know they are hearing it from about 5 people in the tearoom of the commons. I'm in a leave seat and my constituents never ever say this stuff

Leadership is no longer about inspiring fear in followers but liberating them from fear. Klopp, Guardiola, Sarri and Southgate embody a fresh style of management. Fantastic debate from readers below the line on this column... thetimes.co.uk/article/south…
