“The French said they were going to take us out for some baguettes and wine downtown in Paris.” Can’t get enough of these two.

Unlocked grads has the best approach to training I’ve ever seen and their CEO Natasha Porter OBE is an inspiration. The charity does incredibly important work. I really hope there’s a future for it.

Given the mess the criminal justice system is in, it's critical that Labour sort this contract fiasco they've inherited from the Tories. Unlocked is an incredibly important organisation supplying the future leadership of the prison system.

Loads here for all of us to admire, to take away, to live by. Pure gold x

It could be embarrassing and enlightening for Nigel Farage if #FarageDoesNotSpeakForMe went viral and everyone who he does not speak for liked and retweeted it.

It's impossible to view the postings of Farage, without utter revulsion. He masquerades as a " reasoned commentator" on what he claims to be a national crisis linked to immigrants while claiming he deplores any lawlessness. Then he hints at more lawlessness if his warnings are
