I honestly thought the stuff about Mrs Cummings using ‘Thought For the Day’ on @BBCr4today to tell everyone how kind her husband is was a joke I wasn’t getting. What on earth were they thinking?

I am very sad at the passing of my friend the great Ronan O’Rahilly, founder of Radio Caroline. He was such an important person in influencing world events. A personal inspiration and a dear friend, he is definitely someone who changed the world for the better. Rest in peace...

Last night I got a great deal of ‘Surely no Tory Government Department would create an entire army of fake social media profiles just to promote its message?’ And I replied ‘Oh, you think this is a new thing? That’s adorable.’

‘From the start of this crisis, President Trump has tried to rely on his usual political methodology – attacking opponents, trashing the 'fake news' media, blaming anyone & everyone but himself, pretending things are better than they are, & congratulating himself repeatedly...’

Stop Shamelessly trying to politicise today’s tragedy They took away: 1. 21000 police with a combined 1/2 million years of experience 2. 1000s of prosecutors, prison & probation officers cut 3. Violent crime went up, More Victims hurt Just Take Responsibility + Tell the Truth

There comes a point in the history of a nation where stupidity is indistinguishable from wickedness. That's where we are now.

Absolutely fantastic by @MollyMEP 💚💚💚 Brexit Party MEP: What is your empirical evidence that there will be a cliff edge after the transition? You don’t even have a degree in economics. Molly: I was and remain an economics professor. #Brexit

Stormzy backs Corbyn 10 minutes ago. In those 10 minutes, the number of people registering to vote shot up from 4,500 to 47,000 right now. We can win. Young people, we’ve got 28 hours left to register to vote.

Last night Boris Johnson’s betrayal of millions of women who have been robbed of their pensions was complete. His party wasted billions on its no-deal Brexit planning but now says it has no money for the women left destitute by this Government’s daylight robbery of their pensions

If you’re thinking that voters will desert Johnson after repeatedly being shown proof that he’s lying to them, it’s possible you’ve forgotten how Brexit’s playing out. The fact that the BBC & others are *finally* calling lies lies may make a difference but I fear it’s too late.

So, farewell then, Terry O'Neill. His obituaries have featured several golden oldies alongside newer works, but oddly not this one, which he snapped on a Barbados beach way back in 1995...
