Vanessa Nakate is a prominent climate change activist who believes passionately in speaking about the consequences for Africa - her continent.

- Hugh Bonneville took advantage of a live TV interview at the premiere for #DowntonAbbeyTheGrandFinale to make a statement about Gaza. Watch the face of ITV News reporter Helen Keenan drop as he *goes there*.
00:00 - "It's not lost on me why I might've won this award...perhaps it's OK sometimes for us to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice." Gwarrrrn, Gary Lineker! As he quipped, he's won the Ant and Dec trophy at the #NTAs.ANT AND DEC JUST LOST THE NATIONAL TELEVISION AWARD FOR BEST TV PRESENTER FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN 24 YEARS! Gary Lineker has dethroned them! Unbelievable scenes #NTAs
00:00 - "The unusable PPE that was burnt was enough to hire 200,000 nurses. Why aren't taxpayers more angry at being robbed by all of the above?" Why? Right wing media 24/7: "Look over there at the asylum seekers in hotels!" 👇🏾If there was any justice in the UK, those identified in ITV's "The Covid Contracts: Follow The Money" would be in jail right now Including Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak who created the scheme, doing away with regular checks and balances for government procurement creating the
00:00 - Can we please have Nicola Bulley-level press and media coverage for Mariama? This is a child who has been missing since February 9!
- Replying to @emergentpThe genocide of Native Americans by white men is equal to...[checks notes]...the British government's migration policy. 🙄
- At the request of The Duchess of Sussex (LA born and raised), and with the full support of Netflix, her show With Love, Meghan has been moved from this month and will now make its debut on March 4. Understandable given current events. I'll be watching.

- On the day Piers Morgan has been exposed, listen to what Hugh Grant said about the British press during Question Time in 2011. Listen to what Prince Harry said in 2021. What changed during that decade? Exactly. We desperately need Leveson 2.
- There's a reason Lord Pickles has turned off the replies; he oversaw a focus on housing deregulation and he told the #Grenfell Inquiry to use time "wisely" because he had "an extremely busy day meeting people". Arsehole.I welcome the recommendation of the Grenfell Inquiry. I particularly welcome the call for greater transparency and coordination within government. I thank the Inquiry Team for their diligence in a detailed examination of the Grenfell fire and hope the lessons learnt ensure that
- Replying to @Lorna_TVeditorFinally, two publications that got it right. Media, stop erasing and disrespecting Vanessa Nakate. Your unconscious racial bias is showing.
- "They were brilliant and she was particularly good and articulate and on it and on the detail." Watch Camilla Tominey's face as Boris Johnson gushes praise for Harry and Meghan; she looks like she's chewed a wasp. I loathe him, but this clip will keep me warm this winter. 🤣
