How can Esther Rantzen say that the majority of people are in favour of assisted dying? Has there been a referendum that I’ve missed ? #BBCBreakfast

@HughEdw31897368 @SophyRidgeSky Shocking interview by @SophyRidgeSky #skynews She sat there nodding with a blank look on her face - obviously not listening to the answers. She spent most of the interview reading her cue cards so she knew what to say next . Not a clue !#skynews

I’ve been increasingly impressed with Zac Polanski and the Green Party. However after listening to him on #bbclaurak I don’t think he is strong enough as a leader. His insistence that continued diplomacy would have been the best way forward is incredibly naive. #GreenParty

Left: Rylan, "If I arrive on a boat in Calais, I get taken to a four star hotel"

Right: Newsnight show what one of these four star hotels looks like once it has been adapted to house four asylum seekers in a single room with two bunkbeds and a tacky divider

Dear @Rylan some of your concern is perfectly normal and valid, and with 70,000 spaces in asylum accommodation oversubscribed because the Conservatives cut funding to assessing asylum seeker claims resulting in setting up hotels to house asylum seekers, awarding some contracts well over £1 billion to hotel owners, some of who have also been donors to the Conservative party, the whole thing stinks

But what's worse is that you've repeated some mistruths and false statements about asylum seekers in your rant, and while I don't blame you for having expressed those views as Keir-island-of-strangers-Starmer, instead of challenging and correcting these falsehoods, has decided to become a pound shop Reform-like populist with his divisive rhetoric, who could blame you for being so misinformed?

I encourage you to seek better information, better explanations, and perhaps if it really bothers you, to use your huge reach and platform to petition our government to do better eg ending homelessness

Remember how at the start of covid we managed to end homelessness within a few days? Not only is it possible but it's simply a question of government policy (in fairness to Labour they are doing quite a lot, just not enough and not at the speed they could be doing it)

But, and I say this politely. Reform UK are not your friends. By wanting to take us out of the European Convention of Human Rights and repeal the Human Rights Act, they're taking away the very institutions that helped shape gay rights in our country and allowed you not only to flourish, but simply have the right to live your life however you wish - the moment those protections and rights are lost, society suffers

There's nothing worse than getting angry and upset at incorrect things e.g. the four star hotel trope often levied by the far right

Instead, become better informed, so you can get angry and upset at the actual things that are wrong with the system, and help campaign to change them

@RevRichardColes @jamesandpolicy Always ready with a witty retort to politely put people in their place! 😂 Well done Richard ! 👏🏻

@kayleemuldoon88 @Parody_PM Poor choice of words - he should have been in Parliament to vote if other people are allowed a life - or a right to a dignified end of life.

[Sally-Anne Stanworth @AnneStanworth]

All this is to undermine Kemi Badenoch ( I’m not a fan btw) Robert Jenrick is still sore from losing the leadership contest. Self- interest before party unity - tells you all you need to know.

@RevRichardColes Back of a white transit van …
Will it be chips or jacket spuds? Will it be salad or frozen peas? Will it be mushrooms? Fried onion rings? We'll have to wait and see... Hope it's chips it's chips…

@whataimeereads_ @matthaig1 I turned to Matt Haig during a difficult time - I started with Reasons to stay Alive. Then I found the Midnight Library - which made me think about my perspective on life. The classic I always go back to is Tess of the D’Urbervilles 💔

#bbclaurak Fixing potholes and increasing bin collections - @ZiaYusufUK setting out Reform’s aspirational policies that will make Britain great again. #ReformUK

[Sally-Anne Stanworth @AnneStanworth]

Fixing potholes and increasing bin collections? How will they be funded ? Zia Yusuf had no idea how much cutting EDI initiatives would generate. How can you promise things when you have no idea of your budget?

[Sally-Anne Stanworth @AnneStanworth]

#bbclaurak Reform say what they think people want to hear without having any idea on how to deliver. Zia Yisuf’s answers weren’t just sketchy, they contained no substance at all.

@K9Finn Finn’s legacy in action. The law was long overdue . Big hugs to PD Ludo 💙

#BBLauraK Very impressive performance by Jonathan Reynolds. Fully on top of his brief - able to give specific examples when pressed by Victoria Derbyshire - no waffle, no soundbites.

@DaleVince Did you? Richard Madely is the king of ‘gotcha’ - well he tries to be. When he comes up against anyone who has acted honestly and with integrity so he can’t trip them up, he gets really annoyed and sulks .

[Sally-Anne Stanworth @AnneStanworth]

@MichaelRosenYes 💔

@Protect_Wldlife What is the matter with people?? I can’t understand how people get satisfaction from this - it breaks my heart 💔
