Announcing Brexit Commentator of the Year (winner @Dannythefink of @thetimes) @philippesands, remarked that this is unlikely to be the only time such a category exists as Brexit looks like having a long run...
Incredibly @GeorgeMonbiot won his first ever major journalism award from @CommentAwards on Friday and remarked it was a pity it was for writing about his own health and not the health of the planet. He picked up his prize from epidemiologist Dr Precious Lunga.
Commentator of the Year @CommentAwards 2918 is @MarinaHyde who wrote yesterday “incoming Brexit secretaries reckon they can demand a dressing room rider...I want a deal with all the bad bits taken out. Also I don’t do stairs”.
The @CommentAwards Comment Pages of the Year 2018 are @thesundaytimes. @nfergus on Brexit today a case in point on exceptional writing. Are they what you read? Which comment Pages get your vote overall - for breadth and depth of views and for quality of writing? Which don’t?
Winners of 2018 @CommentAwards here: commentawards.com/docs/comment-a…
@CommentAwards Founder @juliahobsbawm opened yesterday’s ceremony: “Editorial Intelligence stands behind the right of all comment which is expressed and published lawfully to be judged in these awards. These are our red lines..”
