I do not scratch itches. I will engage in polite exchanges and occasionally will disagree politely, but will ignore trolls, bots and personal insults. I will unfollow or block only as a last resort.

Enjoying the sunshine today in Kentish Town with my Labour friends. Remember to vote for Meric, Annabelle and Joseph on 7 May! 🌹

Why is cutting a cross and interruption being allowed - trying to speak over your opponent. If you have a point to make, wait for your turn @thecarolemalone. #jeremyvine. Shouting doesn't suit you!

Can someone please get some Windoline to clean the spit marks on the camera lenses coming from that bearded person? #jeremyvine

Refusing to call out racism for what it is in today's @bbclaurak. @CPhilpOfficial: "No I am not going to call it that word". Enablers for politics of division and @reformparty_uk. Total disgrace.

Reaction to Government announcement on housing in London:

🏘️Camden remains committed to building new council & affordable housing through our Community Investment Programme

👉We will be holding private sector developers to account on new criteria

. @JeremyVineOn5 can the rich owners of high value properties take those properties with them if they leave - they're not better off, because properties don't fit in a suitcase.

In the wake of the Manchester murders, my heart is with all who are grieving. I stand in solidarity with my Jewish friends and family. Antisemitism diminishes us all.

We are of all faiths and none. We are many, we are one.

The numbers simply don’t add up: £140 billion in promises, paid for by wishful thinking. #ReformUK’s #economics = fantasy, not #policy. #DodgyMaths #Refomnomics

I support a free press that holds governments to account. But with that freedom comes responsibility to tell the truth.

Headlines like this aren’t scrutiny — they’re distortion. Such misrepresentation damages journalism and undermines the freedom we value for exposing truth.

Free Speech mustn't be allowed to be hijacked in the name of hate and racism.

He is another shapeshifting Tory on turbo charged steroids. Don't fall for his charm. His mate in the US ordered troops on his own people. "The NHS will be as safe with them (him) as a pet hamster would be with a hungry python" (John Major).

Farage: "We will stop the small boats within two weeks of entering government if we win"

Farage: "We will stop the small boats within two weeks of passing legislation"

The difference: less than 24 hours.

I can't keep up. The man is a shape shifter.

@HS2DeadDuck @CamdenCouncil Not at all.

[Meriç Apak @1Meric]

Just spoke to Tracy in Camden Council Housing Management who is in #ContactCamden. Blown away with polite and professional attitude full of empathy and willingness to help. Thank you @CamdenCouncil

Unless pavements are specifically designated as "shared" spaces, they're for the exclusive use of pedestrians. No cycles, e-bikes, scooters, etc.... no exceptions. @JeremyVineOn5

[Meriç Apak @1Meric]

I am so sorry for switching over @JeremyVineOn5. I just can't stand being subjected to the whining high pitched noise spewing negativity about everything, full of vitriolic jibes.

[Meriç Apak @1Meric]

@JeremyVineOn5

[Meriç Apak @1Meric]

.@JeremyVineOn5 The two panelists high pitch whining noise, both talking over each other has caused me to switch over. That's a shame because I usually enjoy this programme

Great on the #LabourDoorstep today in West Hampstead w/ this fab team of @CamdenLabour councillors and @labour_branchWH members.

Huge recognition for the local LABOUR councillors, Sharon Hardwick and Nazma Rahman, supporting residents. Not a single mention of Tory councillors.
