Hannah is just brilliant. She's funny, smart, VERY hard working, knows how to get her point across, and doesn't take no for any answer. What else could you want? πŸ’š

I live in Dover and I'm proud of how my fellow Dovorians showed how compassionate we are. I hope you enjoyed the beautiful Maison Dieu too. πŸ’š

Update: Apologies I was due to be on Have I got News for You this week. We've now postponed until 2026.

To go on Question Time and speak up for migrants right now feels vital.

Just spotted on Ancestry that my great grandad James O'Connor was born today in 1864 in Newry,Armagh. He moved to Newcastle Upon Tyne where he met and married my great grandmother Elizabeth (also Irish). Discovering my roots after only discovering who my dad was in 2019. Loving the hunt for info!

Half term at last. Feels like I've just completed a Krypton Factor endurance test.

Given the competing self interests of Polanski (make a fairer more sustainable world to live in) and Spectator owner multimillionaire Marshall (avoid paying taxes on hoarded wealth), I’m going to go with Polanski

Erika Kirk sounds a lot like Serena Joy. And that’s all I have to say about that.

In many ways yes...it depends on world view and what and who you follow. For many people social media is cutting through the smoke screen. For others it's all about celebrity and snake oil.
