The picture has also been replaced of one that has both me *and* MIA in it, which to be honest seems like a bit of a joke. When you’re writing a hit piece, it should be basic due diligence to check that the individual pictured is the same as the person you’re writing about!
Update: it appears that the error wasn’t made by the picture editor, but Millie Cooke herself. I appreciate her honesty in copping to the mistake, and her apology. But that isn’t sufficient. A correction should be published in the piece explaining the error, and apologising.
Hey @cooke_millie, I really don’t mind people criticising me.
But perhaps you and the @Daily_Express would care to explain what the musician MIA, whose picture you’ve used, has to do with it?

This wasn't sent from an anonymous account.
Her profile has a picture of her face, lists where she works, and her past tweets include bemoaning the lack of an Aldi rewards card, lauding Captain Tom and wishing friends happy birthday.
First day of Congress, this member who said ⬇️ to Steve knew nothing about me besides the fact that I was Muslim & that somehow made me a terrorist to him.
These anti-Muslim attacks aren’t about my ideas but about my identity & it’s clear. @GOPLeader your silence speaks volumes.
If you are wondering why this country is in such a shocking state, please remember that for most of the past 11 years it has been run by former members of the Bullingdon Club.
Thanks for doing that 20 minutes of unconscious bias training @Keir_Starmer, but perhaps the measure of your commitment to antiracism might be in opposing the deportation of Windrush descendants and people who have lived in the UK since childhood?
2. As parties of the right and former left adopted similar neoliberal policies, disempowerment turned to disenfranchisement. Large numbers of people were drawn to the anti-politics that Trump seemed to represent.
I'm sorry to deflate the mood, but I think it's now time to face some cold realities.
1. It's brilliant that Trump lost, but Biden epitomises the reasons why Trump came to power: the neoliberal consensus that killed people's faith in politics.

Didn’t even realise MP’s get a £25 per day food allowance.
£125 per week
£1300 per year ( per person)
£845,000 per year for all MP’s
£800k + of our taxes go towards feeding MP’s on £80k a year while children go hungry. If that doesn’t bother you then you have a problem
.@jonathanvswan: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. I’m talking about death as a proportion of population. That’s where the U.S. is really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, etc.”
@realdonaldtrump: “You can’t do that.”
Swan: “Why can’t I do that?”
