One sobering comment from an LA observer struck home. It could be said of many grim situations around the world. "They are in shock. Their future has gone. Their past has been destroyed." The past can never be changed and there will be a future, just a different one.😢

A megalomaniac who is probably addicted to drugs & is sleeping very little turns his 211 million followers into a hate campaign against one of the most outstanding MPs when it comes to protecting women in Parliament. Yet many MPs & parts of media happy to support the Musk hate campaign. What a shameful moment in British public life. We have learned nothing from death of Jo Cox or David Amess @jessphillips @Keir_Starmer

The vitriolic abuse directed at @jessphillips over the past few days is unwarranted and unacceptable. It is an example of the culture of abuse and intimidation that has become commonplace in our political discourse, disproportionately impacting women and people of colour. 🧵1/4

This is now the most liked tweet I've ever done. All those years wasted years wanging on about politics...
Massive away win for the little fella.

Not just sad for the nation for some it can be dangerous. Call if you need help.
There will be women tonight dreading their partner coming home. Football does not cause domestic abuse, but it can become more frequent or severe after big games, with reporting increasing by 38% when England lose. Go to womensaid.org.uk. In an emergency, always call 999.

Thank you @york_features @mrnickharvey @BBCRadio4 @bbcpaddy @SIGBI1 @nymtc1 @MusicforDemUK In 1985 Bob Geldolf provided a life changing moment for me on TV, Paul Harvey did the same on radio in 2020.

If I took a big money job at a rival publication and that rival publication started trailing my arrival while I was still at the Mirror, I would fully expect the Mirror to decide to let me go early. That is all that has happened with Ken Bruce. Stop moaning.

Popped out to the bins at 7am. Bliss! 7c, no wind and first dawn chorus of the year. Stood, smiled and felt rejuvenated. Hope is in the air. #springwatch #hope
