Zack Polanski is gay. Stop pushing the woman hypnosis boob story. If any gay man tells me something he thinks can improve my udders after I’ve fed 3 children, I know he’s coming from a place of love.

I was on LBC last night discussing Operation Raising The Colours. It’s not patriotism it’s plain old fashioned racism. Look who is championing it for goodness sake!

I’m so sick and tired of the police dragging their feet. They phoned me when I was on stage, despite me telling them I was going to be on stage. The appointment they put off until yesterday has now been put off until later in the week. If I wasn’t so determined I’d have sacked it off by now!

Notting Hill Carnival belongs in the streets, now more than ever Last year’s race riots around the UK echoed the very reason why Claudia Jones founded the Carnival in 1959, writes Ava Vidal. There needs to be a compromise made around street access and crowd safety

I don’t agree with moving Carnival to Hyde Park www.independent.co.uk/voices/notti...

Imagine claiming to have supported Corbyn’s core aims and principles then making excuses not to support this man.
