This is not my Mary Whitehouse moment. I don’t give two hoots if Johnson has 56 kids. What I care about is why can’t he be honest about something so simple? As a judge ruled re his extramarital child in 2013 - this is a public interest matter when judging fitness for high office

Quite a moment. A key member of Boris Johnson’s cabinet admits she doesn’t know how the government can leave the EU on Oct 31 without a deal. But insists we will. In 29 days time.

Fascinating insights by @AmberRuddHR on @bbc5live re Boris Johnson: -there is a “whiff of sexism” about the largely male group of brexiteers supporting his very similar deal over May’s -asked if he listens to women: “he didn’t listen to me” -a macho culture is engulfing politics

The painful irony isn’t lost on me that, while trying to promote a book about periods & busting taboos, I’ve been fighting my own horrendous period pain. For 10 days.Endometriosis & adenomyosis are invisible illnesses but this Insta film is my humble attempt to show how they feel

The SNP say it has concerns about antisemitism in the Labour Party but is still willing to support Jeremy Corbyn becoming Prime Minister. What’s more important? A second Scottish independence referendum or fighting perceived racism? #GE2019
