Sincerest condolences to Billy’s family and friends.

Nowadays, factual reporting is as crucial as it ever has been.

#Checkinandchat the NHS responder app puts volunteers in touch with people who might benefit from a chat. It’s been my privilege to make some of those calls, I hope it may have helped. The service stops on 31/5 🥲

In a world where contracts can be ignored, the threat of withdrawal of a critical service is all that the bully requires. Is it really all about leverage?!?!

So, Farage is turning down interview requests; I can't imagine why.

The only LBC Breakfast show that I can listen to

Word of the Day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet individual whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

A Telegraph journalist does not accept that judges make decisions according to the law, rather than the imbecilic whims of uninformed newspaper proprietors.

Yes, curtain rails and light bulbs were removed throughout the house we bought. Clearly I should’ve been more grateful to see the taps
