His name is #RalphYarl and I’m sick and tired of this feeling…my heart completely broke when I learned this precious 16-year-old, who accidentally rang the door of the wrong address in an attempt to pick up his siblings, was shot in the head… (1/3)
In 2021, the Danish comedian Ulf Pilgaard, who spent his long career impersonating the Queen of Denmark, finally retired. As he was receiving his encore, a special guest joined him on the stage…
@DavidHerdson @BMA_JuniorDocs @jon_trickett Except this is after 10 years experience, in a highly skilled role, before tax and very rarely do they work just 35 hours a week.
The junior doctors operating on your appendix are paid just £66.55 between them. For a potentially life-saving procedure, which lasts about an hour.

My daughter has wanted to learn to sail for a very long time. She decided to take her savings and pay for a Competent Crew course for a week
Bought all the necessary gear and set off, nervous yet excited
When we worked together at Ch4, Paul O’Grady insisted that new roles on his show were advertised in the local Job Centre. He wanted anyone and everyone to be able to apply so they could get a break like he had. And it made the show better. A kind and generous man.
Please Stop using Nazis/ Nazis terminology to discuss anything you don’t like or disagree with. Please - in living memory we have family who were killed murders butchered by the Third Reich & Nazi allies . It’s so disrespectful .Please find better words . Not false comparables
If I was worried about people comparing me to 1930s Germany, my next move probably wouldn't be to shut down all criticism on the national broadcasting service
Am at the Old Bailey today for the sentencing of Sarah Everard’s killer, Wayne Couzens.
He is already spending the rest of his life in prison, but will be further sentenced for three incidents of flashing.
The last of those occured just days before he murdered Sarah.
What strikes me above all about the leaked Hancock WhatsApps is the vastness of the gulf between those NHS staff giving the utmost, their all - even their lives - to help patients while this bunch of charlatans spun & sneered & lied & buried evidence & chortled like schoolboys.
⚖️ Reality TV star Stephen Bear has been sentenced to 21 months imprisonment today for voyeurism and two counts of revenge porn.
Those like Bear who share sexual photos or videos without consent or threaten to do so can expect to be prosecuted.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe is credited as the Godmother of Rock ‘N’ Roll. Before Elvis, Johnny Cash or Little Richard, there was Sister Tharpe- A Black woman who forged her own sound in a male dominated industry.
She does not get the credit she deserves. #BlackHistoryMonth
He was a self confessed antisemite, with pronounced racist leanings, and he joined in the attack on me back in 1989… but thanks for telling me off for defending his work from the bowdlerizing Sensitivity Police.
Woman disappears - she had a drinking problem.
Man murders woman - he was a competent tennis player, and she did him wrong anyway.
I can’t quite put my finger on it, but t’s so interesting what is considered important information.
A powerful female politician resigns: she was unfulfilled because she never became a mother.
A mother disappears: she was a hormonal (“hysterical”)alcoholic.
A headteacher is murdered: she emasculated the husband who killed her.
This is 2023. Misogyny is alive and well. https://t.co/V8RAadYzav
