    NEW: I have spoken to the parents of seven children who believe the wrong sperm or egg donors were used during IVF treatments. The cases are linked to clinics in Northern Cyprus – a popular destination for Brits seeking fertility treatment abroad.
    James, pictured as a young child, is held by his mother Laura in an outdoor setting, with greenery in the background.

    Erin is 15. Her mum has health problems so can't work and money has become so tight she often goes to bed hungry so her younger siblings have enough food. "I'll be sad because I didn't get to have what they did, but then I'm happy because at least they got to eat," she says.

    At the end of our debate with undecided voters, a few revealed they had made up their mind. I spoke to a couple of them afterwards and they all said Labour would get there vote because of Angela Rayner's performance #VictoriaLIVE

    “We’ve had 9 years of Tory austerity. We’re at Christmas, and 4 million children are in poverty. “Only Labour can change this around and invest in our country” Labour’s @AngelaRayner makes her pitch to undecided voters bbc.in/2E05Yvh #VictoriaLIVE

    While reading about James Michael Tyler's tragic death, Rachel's final words to Gunther came to mind... "When I'm in a café, having coffee, or I see a man with hair brighter than the sun, I'll think of you" 💔

    Matt Hancock signing up for I'm a Celeb has been condemned by covid bereaved families. @CovidJusticeUK spokesperson Lobby Akinnola says: "My family was ripped apart by Matt Hancock’s actions, and turning on the TV to see him being paraded around as a joke is sickening."

    Imagine going to study in the north east and being so shocked to hear students with northern accents you ridiculed them for it. Stories like this really wind me up, but the problems go way beyond just Durham University.

    Saw the spellbinding @FleabagWestEnd last night. Our expectations were ridiculously high and yet Pheobe Waller-Bridge still managed to smash them. So funny, so smart, so moving, so cool - and apparently Taylor Swift is a fan because she was in the audience with us.

    A Coroner has recorded Mike Thalassitis died from suicide and had consumed alcohol and cocaine. The inquest also heard the Love Island star had left behind a black notebook containing notes to his family "setting out his intention that his life should come to an end".

    Replying to @AnnaCollinson
    The election will rightly dominate headlines today - but this is huge. Caroline Flack presents one of ITV's biggest shows which targets younger audiences. The next series is expected to start in under four weeks. Considering the serious nature of this charge, will she be dropped?

    For years, decades even, people affected by mass shootings & terror attacks have called for the media & society to focus on the victims, not the perpetrators. They will be heartened at Jacinda Ardern's promise to never say the Christchurch gunman's name. bbc.co.uk/news/world-asi…

    Stevie Wonder just made an emotional speech to the Hyde Park crowd saying he will do 3 more shows & then will be taking a break to have a kidney transplant. It's after reports he was battling health issues. Absolute legend & honoured to have seen one of his last shows for now ❤
