- My favourite story about the Queen… just lovely
- Rishi Sunak: "When this is over - and it will be over - we want to look back on this moment and remember the small acts of kindness done by us and to us. We want to remember how we thought first of others and acted with decency... it's on all of us"
- As reporters prepare to descend on Uxbridge & South Ruislip - spare a thought for the lady in what I think is the most viral video I’ve ever made
- Wonderful cartoon in @thetimes that, I think, helps explain why so many people will find today so emotional
- A woman is killed by a man every three days in the UK “Domestic” – that word that somehow doesn’t feel adequate – because terror can also happen in the home. My thoughts on the Bushey tragedy
- Nigel Farage: “I used to think the Prime Minister was a decent man. We might disagree on worldview, but I thought he was a profoundly decent human being. I am completely shocked at his behaviour. I hope when he wakes up tomorrow morning he feels ashamed of what he has done.”
- 26-year-old Kyle Clifford is being hunted by police. It’s a fast moving situation and there’s a lot we don’t know. But there is one thing that we DO know. And it’s depressingly, devastatingly familiar. Three woman are dead. They were killed in their home. A mum, she was 61, and
- For me there’s only one contender for Person of the Year. Gisele Pelicot. The woman who has recalibrated how we think about rape by refusing to feel shame. “It’s time we change the way we look at rape”, she said outside the court today. And…more than anyone I can think of…

- A lot has been said about sexism & the culture in Westminster but there’s just one thing I would like to add. The bad behaviour I’ve experienced is when men didn’t realise I was a journalist. I think it’s important when we talk about harassment to also talk about power
- Sending the first 300 migrants to Rwanda costs £1.8m each. To put that in context, school funding is around £7,600 per child per year. So the cost of sending one migrant to Rwanda would get 234 children education for a year. Is that a good use of money?
- Gregg Wallace: "I can see the complaints coming from a handful of middle-class women of a certain age” Same age as you Gregg
- Tony Blair: “I remember a conversation in the Brexit debate He said to me ‘you're this typical elite, trying to say you know more about it than I do’ But do you know what I said to them? I DO know more because I've been prime minister for 10yrs”
