Activate will go down as the textbook example of how not to do a Twitter launch. The fact that they managed to embed a parody account on their website for a significant timeframe is amazing.

Both

I'm sure that now ACTIVATE is a thing they can get behind Theresa May and appeal to the youths of the nation offering them...offering them....um...hashtagmemes.

In all seriousness, I'm not sure what the gently caress she's playing at. That's some self-delusion that she'll even last that long, let alone be trusted with being the public face of the ~~Theresa May Party~~ ~~Conservative Party~~ Conservative and Union Party after wrecking it so hard.

In other "Theresa May was forewarned, but pressed ahead anyway like a loving idiot" news:

'Legal high' review after laughing gas cases collapse posted:

A law banning so-called legal highs in the UK is to be reviewed after the collapse of the first ever contested cases under the new legislation.

Two separate trials of people accused of intending to supply nitrous oxide at music festivals were stopped after the courts heard the drug is exempt.
[..]
A man was tried at Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday for intending to supply nitrous oxide at a music festival in Derbyshire.

But prosecuting barrister Adrian Fleming told the court that the Crown's own expert witness, Professor Philip Cowen, "is expressing the firm view that nitrous oxide, as the legislation is currently worded, is an exempt substance".

Meanwhile a judge at Taunton Crown Court, where two people were on trial for intending to supply nitrous oxide at Glastonbury Festival, came to the same conclusion.

In that second case, Judge Paul Garlick said "nitrous oxide is plainly capable of coming within the definition of an exempted substance� and in my view, on this evidence, it plainly is an exempted substance".

Looks like Brexit is going superwell.

Brexit talks grind to standstill as UK blames Barnier's 'tied hands' posted:

Brexit talks have become deadlocked with the UK and EU negotiating teams failing to make progress in a string of critical areas, The Independent understands.

Short version; as people in the thread predicted, the EU is being blamed for not accepting purposely vauge terms and impossible demands, being accused of inflexability for not immediately accepting them.

On a somewhat related note

Boris Johnson aide and Tory MP claims he was hacked after barrage of angry tweets sent to EU's Brexit negotiator posted:

At around lunchtime, Mr Burns� account posted : "@MichelBarnier Why don�t you publish how you are calculating UK bill based on law ie treaty obligations and directives. Hard facts help."

An hour later, the account posted: "Britain pays her obligations. Why don�t you publish them based on law ie Treaty obligations and directives. Legal facts help."

Mr Burns was accused of embarrassing the UK and his boss the Foreign Secretary, by taking to social media to criticise the EU�s chief negotiator.

But hours later, the MP for Bournemouth West deleted the tweets and said: "Have been out on visits since 10am this morning. Home to find both twitter and email hacked. Passwords changed."

One respondent said: "The hacker's apparent knowledge of EU law is impressive."

Legal commentator David Allen Green said on Twitter: "One key issue on the legal(istic) side of the financial issue is whether the re is liability under Treaty articles and/or directives. So: the @ConorBurnsUK hacker is either an expert on EU law and/or the Brexit budget issue or the hacker knew this, hence why they asked Barmier about *both* treaty obligations and directives. Wording could not be by accident."
