Let’s put that “it’s all political” nonsense to bed. UK enters a good song, with a singer who can sing, and staging which sells the song, and points come in. Yep, it really is that simple. Congrats Ukraine, a massive showing of solidarity - and a deserved winner too #Eurovision

This is lazy stuff @5WrightStuff . #Eurovision fee is good value for 3 shows & +8 hours of primetime TV. The UK placing is not related to the fee, nor should it be, because that would make it, erm, a fix? Israel winning the public vote shows that music stands above politics.

Should the BBC ask for our money back after the farce that was #Eurovision ? @surieofficial was ambushed on stage but bravely sang on, gave a really great performance and yet ended up 24th out of 26th! What's the point of paying £300k to be part of that? Time to be done with it?
