Dear Mr Hammond,
If my calculations are correct, you will receive this letter immediately after you saw the DeLorean struck by lightning.
First, let me assure you that I am alive and well. I've been living happily these past eight months in the year 1885… pic.twitter.com/WdqwLjXIy2

“Why was the UK the fastest growing big economy before Brexit but is now the slowest?” @pestononsunday asks Hammond. Answer not worth tweeting.

Incredible. @TheSun newspaper launches personal attack on Irish PM… but are too cowardly to put the editorial in their Irish edition.
Telling the leader of a neighbouring country to “shut his gob” smacks of centuries-old bullying. Not smart.https://t.co/G00Zb2zE2l

People in Ireland consume a lot of UK media. People in the UK consume no Irish media. This is not a new observation but it has been ably demonstrated this week when the UK exploded with shock and outrage about stuff discussed at length in the Irish media 18 months ago. #brexit
