Hello Helen, I wonder if you researched Isambard Kingdom Brunel before tweeting? Brunel's father was a French engineer and migrant. Brunel spoke fluent French, was educated at the Lycée Henri-IV in Paris and served his apprenticeship under Abraham-Louis Breguet in France.

Today we're #aa3. So #AAA (1970's-2013), Aa1 (2013-6) aa1 2016-7, aa2 2017-20. #HMG are financially #incompetent. Actual #debt since 2010 has risen 1,200bn, and thanks to these downgrades so have the interest rates on it. theguardian.com/business/201…
Reading the Sage advice to HMG from 20th sept seems clear HMG are out of their depth and too stupid to listen. At what cost? #ledByDonkeys

Here’s a video of the US Senate trying to work out if Boris Johnson has been compromised by a Russian agent, while less than 24 hours later Labour gets two cyber attacks. The Conservatives still won’t release the intelligence report on Russian interference
