Henry Lamb's picture is of the artist Darsie Japp and family from 1926. Lamb's notes say that the family were taught the 'proper' way to stir tea; place the spoon in the 12 o’clock position in the cup and softly fold the liquid back and forth 2-3 times to the 6 o’clock position.

What a despicable, tasteless, crass, moronic thing to tweet.
How low can you go on Remembrance Sunday.
Horrible, twisted mind.

Why is Farage even on #bbclaurak? Looks like this time the BBC have fallen for his self- publicising “ documentary”.

This is just disgusting.

It takes real guts for an unelected member of the public to threaten to resign from a job he'll never have.

#PoliticsLive Vicky Young jumps in when Labour MP says Farage does absolute minimum as MP.
'He's not here to defend himself'
Most people criticised, including Andy Burnham, aren't there to 'defend themselves' but that doesn't seem to bother Gibb & McAndrew sidekick Vicky Young!
Entitled groups of feral kids who have no idea about right and wrong, it’s not just football it’s everywhere. #bbcbreakfast

This is absolutely insane
We all knew it was biased towards Reform but to see it like this
And yet people accuse Question Time of being “A lefty show”
