It all began when @HollieBorland had the temerity to suggest that struggling households find it harder to eat healthier than well off ones.
Until fruit and veg costs less than a bag of supermarket chips, you can't expect struggling households to have healthier diets https://t.co/qMXDB9VB96 — Hollie Borland (@HollieBorland) July 27, 2020
Rees-Mogg, you might remember, was briefly a Brexit Party MEP before becoming, briefly, a Conservative Party MEP, and is now neither, obviously. This is what she had to say.
Tesco 1kg potatoes =83p, 950g own brand chips =£1.35 — Annunziata Rees-Mogg (@zatzi) July 27, 2020
And she wasn’t leaving it there.
The oft repeated but inaccurate belief that low quality/ unhealthy food is *always* cheaper than raw ingredients is part of the problem. It’s why learning to buy/ budget for food is important alongside learning to cook. https://t.co/P5BFr07fAN — Annunziata Rees-Mogg (@zatzi) July 27, 2020
And it’s fair to say the responses got tasty, very tasty indeed.

I would like to thank Annunziata Rees-Mogg. Before her compassionate intervention, I was eating cooked food like a frivolous urchin unaware of their place at the bottom of society but since switching to a diet of raw potatoes I’ve saved 53p! pic.twitter.com/fqsdiJGnOk — Toussaint Douglass (@TweesaintDoglas) July 29, 2020

I’ll never forget the day Annunziata had her butler and cook take me to one side and show me how to cook a Pot Noodle. Up until then I was generally only eating frozen pizzas or microchips! https://t.co/H5LV9w6xJ3 — Mark ne-Francois-pas MP (@MarkFrancois12) July 29, 2020

Boris Johnson has urged people to be vigilant as he’s detected signs of a second wave of coronavirus in Europe, which is his way of saying “Look over there – a squirrel!”
Here are some funny people’s musings on everything that’s been going on with the pandemic and how it’s been handled.
1. You try to make masks more human and look what happens
the good news is my custom facemask arrived, the bad news is that they printed my face 20% too large pic.twitter.com/jBaVM7nbYI — Cameron!! (@cameronmattis) July 27, 2020
2. Those government messages aren’t getting any clearer
Just a reminder to get fit and lose weight by cycling round the corner to Nandos five times a week for your half price food. #EatOutHelpOut — Parody Boris Johnson (@BorisJohnson_MP) July 28, 2020
3. For anyone …
"Eat fast food or you'll kill the economy but don't eat fast food or you'll kill the NHS but go to the pub if you don't hate Britain but don't go to the pub because you're fat but remember it's on you to stop the spread but stop working from home lazybones" — Gee Aitch Cee (@Scriblit) July 27, 2020
4. The cat with coronavirus clearly wishes to remain anonymous

Not left the house for 135 days, still managed to get a “we called while you were out” slip from the Royal Mail. — Bethany Black (@BeffernieBlack) July 28, 2020
6. People have no patience with the radical anti-maskers

At some point, somebody is going to have to march up to whatever gold-plated toilet Donald Trump spends his time on and simply confiscate his phone – for his own good.
This is one of many posts he put up yesterday.
So disgusting to watch Twitter’s so-called “Trending”, where sooo many trends are about me, and never a good one. They look for anything they can find, make it as bad as possible, and blow it up, trying to make it trend. Really ridiculous, illegal, and, of course, very unfair! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 27, 2020
Unless we missed one of his executive orders or he bought Twitter, we’re pretty sure trends aren’t illegal, however mean they may be about the President.
Yes, the president of the United States thinks it's illegal for something negative about him to trend in Twitter. https://t.co/rghbYCo3j5 — John Iadarola (@johniadarola) July 27, 2020
His tweet caused #TrumpleThinSkin, #TrumpIsACryBaby, #TrumpCantKeepItUp and #TrumpIsATwat to trend for hours.
We imagine it was an interesting conversation when he called 911 about that.
The takedowns were highly entertaining, so we collected a few highlights.

You may have seen by now how Donald Trump shared a video on Twitter by a doctor promoting the disproved use of malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for Covid-19.
It’s not the physician’s only controversial view, it turns out. She also says that masks don’t work, there’s a cure for Covid-19 and, er, doctors make medicine using DNA from aliens.
And the only upside of the so-called president’s retweet was this Q&A at a White House press conference which, if it isn’t peak Trump, is surely something close to it. Watch to the end.
And our favourite things people said about it.

To conclude …
This is Trump's most dangerous Tweet ever. And I know that is saying something. It is not within his power to change the date of the election.

Delay the election? Unless Trump takes over the government by military force and suspends the Constitution, it will be President Pelosi on January 20th by default.

The Queen‘s only daughter, Princess Anne, is due to turn 70 in August, so ITV produced a documentary about her, in which she helps her old mum get to grips with new technology.
NEW: A first look behind the scenes of those royal video calls 💻
Watch how Princess Anne tried to teach her elderly mother about @zoom_us.
But her elderly mother is, err, the Queen.

Downing St has advertised for someone to fill the new vacancy of official spokesperson, to carry out White House-style press briefings.
The salary is £100,000, if you’re interested, but you have to be able to refrain from making Barnard Castle jokes while the boss is around, which is more of a sacrifice than some could bear.
