Who is voting for Matt Hancock in #ImACeleb ? You remember living through the pandemic? A lot didn’t. He broke the Government’s own rules. He’s still meant to be serving his constituents. This makes a joke of people working on all sides to make this country a better place.

I’m devastated that Emily has gone, and so young too. We’d known each other for over twenty years and she was always a phenomenal journalist, which was vitally evident in her reporting during the pandemic. I’m thinking of her family tonight.

It doesn’t matter if you’re for or against now - the process of Brexit is a ruinous shitshow. There’s no better way to put it. The futures of millions are being ruined by a bunch of infighting egotists and the impossible conundrum of the Irish border. Hit the brakes.

The ⁦ @metpoliceuk ⁩ response to this is simply appalling. The cyclist could have easily been killed. If it was a stabbing, I suspect they wouldn’t have left it to the victim to source the CCTV footage. This is not the first time they have done this.
