Somehow I don't think that is quite as bad as running down and selling off the NHS while saying you are not; almost tripling UK debt; triggering the worst-ever peacetime crisis over an internal party feud, creating the hostile environment… https://t.co/jwrnhARm4h

The only issue I have with this is that it was a Mojito because I think there are better cocktails to be enjoyed but you do you love x

I've literally just got home from a train journey made bearable only by not one but two of M&S bizarrely colourful canned cocktails. I rarely see eye to eye with Ms A but I'll not have her shamed for this sort of bollocks.

People started sharing selfies drinking canned cocktails on TfL.

Solidarity. Me drinking a can of Elderflower G&T on a train alone on Friday evening. Never apologise. pic.twitter.com/8orME4eoD2

Whether Leaver or Remainer, everyone in this divided country can agree that whoever grassed her up is an absolute clart. https://t.co/btGI9lGSYk

The absolute snitchery of the person that snapped Diane Abbott having a cheeky coupla cans on the train. You’re really moving like Randall from Recess

With delightful irony, he may have found himself on the wrong side of the law.
Broke: thinking Diane Abbott enjoying a G&T on the train is newsworthy.
Woke: not giving a damn about what someone drinks on the tube.
Bespoke: realising that unauthorized photography is also a violation of TFL rules.

We can only assume he’ll shop himself to the Sun.
