@BBCNewsnight you have put up Rachel Wolf’s name at least twice and Olivia Blake MP too but who are the other 2 panel members??

[heather petch @HeathermPetch]

@annaturley you have just committed on @BBCAnyQuestions to make sure genuine family farms are not detrimentally affected by IHT proposals. Pls talk to my local MP @LukeMyerMP (whom I voted for) about alternative proposals which can achieve that and potentially raise more money

@BBCNews I have consistently defended BBC against those of many political shades who accuse it of bias but feeling astounded by lack of balance in reporting of HO use of hotels for asylum seekers. It is quite shocking e.g. Why both Reform , Zia Yusuf and Penny Mordaunt tonight?

[The Equality Trust @equalitytrust.bsky.social @equalitytrust]

The riots are more than "thuggery" – they are violent racist acts aimed at expelling people from our communities because they are Muslim, Black or brown, or migrants. Politicians and the media have upheld inequality of wealth and power by scapegoating people for decades.

I’m looking forward to starting my Monday morning clinic 💙
I refuse to be afraid to look after my patients because of the colour of my skin or my faith.

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

RT if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

The arsonists last night destroyed a Citizens Advice Bureau.

For those outside the UK, that's a place where the British public, particularly low income or disadvantaged communities, get free legal advice and support.

Staff are devastated.

Five years waiting but with political will it happens in just over a week. Important changes in the Kings Speech to begin to reset our education system for children @thetimes. (Though its not about truanting).

Not gonna lie, I love how intense we are in the North East about getting the votes counted and declared first. Haway Sunderland! #GeneralElection2024

@duncanshrubsole @SMITFCharity Such good news for @SMITFCharity for you and other st Martin’s charities and for tackling homelessness. Wishing you all the best and well done for all you achieved at Lloyd’s for small charities the lifeblood of communities

Some personal news: I am delighted & honoured to have been appointed CEO @SMITFCharity. Everyone deserves a safe place to call home but far too many are denied this. I’m passionate about charities supporting people to change their own lives & using evidence to influence others...

[NUFC Fans Against Sportswashing @NoSaudiToon]

MBS ordered the execution of 81 men the day before we played Chelsea in 2022. It was this event which made us more determined to oppose sportswashing at our club & hold the 80% owners of @NUFC to account for their human rights abuses.

We will continue

Do look at this opportunity to chair Cardinal Hume Centre's Board and share with others. The charity is driven by breaking the cycle of poverty underpinned by its core values - "each person matters" and providing a welcome to all. CEO, George and team are…https://t.co/luA2UkZFTM

@krishk I feel v angry about the Labour leadership sinking so low. Not the integrity they've claimed. Why not attack incompetence rather than get (falsely) personal?
