- Hi @Gatwick_Airport my friend with a disability, Victoria, has been left waiting on a plane that’s landed for getting on for an hour now. This is really unacceptable.
- Why is the BBC now running an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell’s brother, pleading her innocence, on its main bulletin on R4? Would they do that for any other child sex offender found guilty in a court of law?
- On Today prog this morning: Gordon Brown earns over £1m a year from speeches and writing but gives it all to charity. Some politicians really do have great integrity.
- Personally I don’t think PMs who resign in disgrace should get an exit honours list
- Forcing myself to keep reading about this case because it's important to understand what the worst men are capable of doing to women and children.
- This morning I am mostly jealous of New Zealanders for having a re-elected, left-of-centre & competent government during a global pandemic.
- Striking that all four doctors who have tragically lost their lives to coronavirus have been people of colour. A reminder of how reliant the NHS is on BAME & migrant doctors and nurses 🙏.
- Gordon Brown speaking so much sense right now. The government should really, really give him a job to do global coordination on behalf of UK. Why not bring in former PMs with their wealth of experience?
- How about a windfall tax on those who’ve made unjustifiably huge profits out of supplying PPE to the NHS during the pandemic?
- Horrific. Just horrific. Hard to believe anyone is capable of what this man did.
- You have to be pretty sick to go and chant “from the river to the sea” at a train station on the day of an antisemitic terrorist attack in which two British Jews were murdered.
- Hate how much we’re now talking about Elon Musk and the far right rather than how to prevent child sexual abuse and rape. It’s so very much easier to talk about the first than the second.
- This is Tom Harwood, who’s been on the airwaves this morning saying everyone calling for Cummings’s resignation is politically motivated (on @GMB he called me a Labour activist, which I was not given the opportunity to correct.)
