- This isn't true. We've checked. The very definition of fake news - and the reason why giving a blue tick to anyone who'll pay for it is a horrible idea. Also, any outlet that talks about "breaking rumours" should be viewed with inherent suspicion.🚨BREAKING: Rumours of Axel Rudakubana being left unconscious after two prisoners managed to get into his cellReaders added contextThe Ministry of Justice have confirmed this is false. "I can confirm that reports of Axel Rudakubana being attacked in prison are inaccurate. He has not been attacked." liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool…
- Is it just me, or did #clapforourcarers make everyone feel "not-crap" for the first time in about ten days?

- I can't imagine one of my presenter colleagues getting away with saying on-air that someone was faking suicidal feelings. Chiefly because we - & most other outlets - aren't TV clickbait for the lowest common denominator. Ambivalent re Meghan herself, but pretty angry right now.

- HELP URGENTLY REQUIRED: The person I hired to do this job has had to drop out after only a week, and I have just three weeks to replace them. If you can help spread the word of a wheelchair-using @SkyNews journalist (me) very much in need of a support worker, please RT.
- A very happy birthday to @IanDunt, who does all the exasperated swearing on Twitter so we don't have to!
