Apparently "we can't afford to pay migrants £39.63 a week" but we *can* afford £1m+ per head to ship them off to Rwanda. Astonishing maths.

What about our morale? You know, on the acute medical ward for 4 months over winter? With over 125 patients (70 is the ward capacity)? All of whom were very sick or dying with covid? Whilst grieving the loss of my grandad from covid? I’d say my morale was pretty fucking low too

The ‘uncomfortable truth’ is social mobility has always been a myth, peddled by various parties to justify keeping structures that advantage privileged groups in place. Working class kids don’t get the luxury of being mediocre yet successful, those from privileged backgrounds do.

She is absolutely right because her grammar is not “incorrect”. Her speech contains non-Standard constructions, and these are no less “proper English” than the PM’s dialect or mine. It’s an immense benefit to public life that she stands her ground n this.

To whomever it may concern: after the Farah story, please don’t start saying ‘think how many other future heroes we might be deporting to Rwanda’. This policy isn’t disgusting because they may be exceptional people. It’s disgusting because they’re people.

People keep telling me that because the UK had a heatwave in 1976, climate change is overhyped. So here’s the global heat anomaly maps from June 1976 and June 2022. data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/maps/

I'm going to be attempting to run the Big Half in two weeks' time for Mind - if you have a few pennies to spare (or fancy sharing this round) then I'd really appreciate the support for a great cause! justgiving.com/fundraising/jo…

To my generation, the voice of rugby. As beloved for his wit and his warmth as his ability to call a play. He will be so dearly, dearly missed.

Going to war with Match of the Day and David Attenborough in one afternoon strikes me as a strange electoral tactic but there we are

If I was worried about people comparing me to 1930s Germany, my next move probably wouldn't be to shut down all criticism on the national broadcasting service
