Genuinely devastated by this. Peter fought so hard for so many people.

On the 9th anniversary of her killing, all I want is for Jo’s death not to have been in vain. To be remembered as a moment when we realised the dangers of polarisation, extremism & hate. It doesn’t feel like that at the moment- but she wouldn’t want us to give up. #MoreInCommon

It came as no surprise to me when I heard of Peter Krykant tragic death. For those of us in the know, his slow descent from harm reduction poster boy to using foodbanks to survive was a textbook relapse. However, it was complicated by the fact Peter had assumed a new identity

Yesterday was a historic moment for Trussell Together, 700 people travelled to Westminster to discuss Guarantee Our Essentials. The same day the UK gov proposed the most damaging cuts to disabled people, we were proud that so many NI MPs supported us! trussell.org.uk/news-and-resea…

#Wimbledon commentators speculating about the method of childbirth Belinda Bencic had... Really?! Is nothing actually private anymore? Women have been having babies since the dawn of time. Such an unnecessary topic to focus on.

There’s a VERY good reason asylum seekers get circus tickets and Amazon parcels. But the Mail on Sunday was never going to tell you that. Here’s the crucial detail they left out: 🧵

I said as soon as I saw the footage of him sitting against the tunnel wall pre-kick off that Mo Salah is not ok. He's clearly extremely emotionally fragile. I hope he has all of the support he needs. #LIVBOR

BIG GABI FOR THE 3 POINTS

Email Premier Inn a week ago requesting an early check in. No reply, so don't come when I hoped. Arrive at hotel 28 minutes early, explain email has been ignored. They still want £15 for what's now barely even an early check in. Marvellous customer service - not!
