Afghan, Kurdish & Sudanese refugees are living in tents around Calais - while Ukrainians are being offered hostels.
French police are known to chase, kick and discard of their property
It’s a racist policy that’s ostracising people who need help.
Omg.. Matt Hancock is on This Morning talking about his dyslexia
Phil just said to him: "was it your dyslexia that meant you misread the social distancing rules?"
Just as a warning to any nutters out there - when you DM me rape threats from an account with your real name - I screenshot them, find you on LinkedIn, and send them to your company’s press department
Some may call it over the top, I simply call it journalism.
every year my mum buys me some form of racy underwear and every year she has me open it in front of the entire family while cackling menacingly like the wicked witch of ann summers
I was there throughout this - in front of Downing Street gates. The “baying mob” was actually quite a lot of women - one was clutching a photograph of her husband who died from covid.
It wasn’t a baying mob.
there’s a man on question time, whose qualifications include a philosophy degree, attempting to school a professor of immunology on the yellow card system.
fascinating viewing
Just been told by Conservative comms that our coverage is not appreciated by the party and our reporter will not be allowed into tonight's hustings.
I'm in the Westminster lobby - meaning Parliament recognise us as "actual" journalists.
Fair and free media!
Ghislaine is guilty of “recruiting underage girls to be sexually abused” and Rochdale is a “paedophile ring”
It’s the same ! Crime ! Just different social classes
The reason broadcasters are not allowed to reveal postal votes before 10PM polling day is it influences the vote.
I really have no explanation of how this is allowed under broadcasting code
Student loan repayment rise confirmed
National insurance rise confirmed
Energy bill spike confirmed
Cost of living rising
what a great time to live and work in Britain 🙃
I think about that Danny Dyer “if you’re working 40 hours and you can’t cover your bills thats the fault of the slags paying you” quote all! The! Time!
I’m just really tired of men only understanding women through lens of sisters/daughters
This sort of “pat on the back”, “well done little girl for kicking the ball so good” is deeply unhelpful
The reason why football is the most important and loved sport across the globe is because it is a simple game anyone can play and anyone can enjoy. 1/5
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I’m 25 with no underlying health conditions and I could not breathe for 3 days.
No sleep, lots of tears and 72 hours constantly trying to fill my lungs with air.
Meet the UK’s first laser weapon: DragonFire
UK military scientists have for the first time shot down drones by using the laser to cut through incoming targets at the speed of light.
Capable of being fitted to future warships, it will be a vital British weapon as the threat of…
obsessed with this man in the times who regrets divorcing his wife.
it seems he was not able to cope with parenting for a few hours of the day while she selfishly was working
Slide One is Boris Johnson, yesterday, laying a wreath upside down on the Cenotaph
Slide Two is the footage BBC News are rolling with this morning - bizarrely, it's from 2016.
Boris Johnson condemns figure that only 31% of millennials can afford their own home
Blames the previous Labour government who he says failed to build enough new homes.
Labour haven't been in power for 12 years.
last night an anti vaxxer had been shouting at this lovely young woman who worked in a Vaccination centre at Euston station and people were not having it
Mayor of London was not invited to attend emergency COBRA meeting on Coronavirus.
Spokesperson for no.10 has responded with: 'London is a local area'
London being a city of nearly 9 million people and therefore larger than some countries - it seems no.10 are trolling us.
Heard some old boys down the pub in Bethnal Green talking about the new, blue British passports & broke the news they’re made in Poland
I’ve catastrophically ruined their day.
Gosh - former deputy assistant commissioner of the met has just told
@LBC
the force might not have investigated Partygate as hard as they could have - to avoiding upsetting Number 10
NEW: Rishi Sunak travelled to Leeds on board a fourteen-passenger jet on Monday.
It comes after the government last July pledged a "jet-zero" strategy.
Dr. Rosena Allin-Khan, Labour MP for Tooting, has been working as an A&E doctor to assist during the crisis
She is in the commons today, criticising the Govt's response to testing
Matt Hancock has told her he does not agree & (incredibly) to amend her tone.
Really, really grateful to every person who reached out to me. From MPs, to journalists, to friends and people on here. I'm overwhelmed by how kind people have been.
I'm also immensely grateful to the incredibly courageous people who spoke out despite working on the station.
Labour's MP Fleur Anderson is asking an urgent question in the commons.
She says Michelle Donelan, who was Sec of State for Education for under 36 hours - will soon be offered a payment of £16k severance.
Points out that's more than an *annual* salary for a teaching assistant.
Disappointing to see the BBC bypass people who’ve spent their lives honing their craft in radio. A platform like Radio 1 doesn’t need “celeb” presenters.

Jamie Laing will join Vick Hope to co-host Going Home on Radio 1 (15:30 – 18:00, Monday to Thursday), starting on Monday 4 March.
Huge congratulations

This testing catastrophe is the most shambolic thing to happen to a Microsoft programme since Kelly Rowland sent Nelly a text on Excel in the Dilemna video and got mad that he didn't reply.
listening to a landlord on world at one that had a £300 mortgage, on a flat with rental income of £1000
It’s just extraordinary that people think this practice is in any way ethical
Just had the displeasure of sitting with a group of anti-maskers on the tube
Pointing, sneering and aggressively mocking the rest of the carriage.
@TfL
why are they allowed to board trains ?
You know what’s really clever: getting the British public riled up over Fawlty Towers rather than actual, blatant police brutality
You lot are too easy

Nicola Sturgeon has published her tax return.
She receives one source of income - her salary as First Minister.
While she is taxed on her full salary, she receives only the 2008/09 value. This means she donates ~ 20% of her salary entitlement back to the public purse
The UK has jailed a woman who took *legal* abortion pills too late in her pregnancy.
I said: The UK has jailed a woman who took *legal* abortion pills too late in her pregnancy!
She leaves three children at home. We should be ashamed of ourselves.
Perhaps because we've spent so long dehumanising asylum seekers this doesn't have the impact it should.
What if the government decided it will no longer abide by maternity law? Your right to counsel? Child slavery laws? How is it different?
