This is how Ukraine’s Eurovision presenter and commentator Timur Miroshnychenko reacted to the news of Kalush Orchestra’s victory. Due to Russia’s never-ending rocket attacks, Timur had to go on air from a bomb shelter.

Honest tweet now. This account is run by NHS staff. There’s just 3 of us. We have tried our best to get out what is happening on the ground. But we are completely exhausted. If you support what we are doing please will you follow and RT this to your followers? Thank you 🙏

Imagine this was your boss: “I know we’re understaffed by 20% and you’ve worked flat out in awful conditions for 2 years, but you need to work even harder, in less safe conditions. Plus I’m going to criticise you in public” This is what Sajid Javid is saying to GPs It’s not on

Could you do us a small favour? The abuse we are receiving along with other NHS staff has honestly made us want to quit Twitter. We are all just ordinary frontline staff. If you support us, and you are reading or tweeting on the hashtag #thankyouNHS please will retweet & follow?

Mighty. @DawnButlerBrent Speaking truth to power.
I have been thrown out of Parliament for saying what we all know: Boris Johnson has lied to the House of Commons and the country over and over again. But I’ve got news for the Tories, I will never stop speaking truth to power!
