I don’t speak of this often but listening to Nigel Farage in tonight’s debate I must.
My dad was an immigrant. From the moment he arrived in this country he worked hard every day in labouring jobs. My most vivid recollection is of his tired & weary eyes and oil stained overalls when he came home after a 12 hour factory shift. Even then he was able to raise a smile for us. He was kind & gentle & loved my mum with passion. He raised a family of 4 & instilled in each of us a fierce sense of right & wrong & love of country. His proudest day was when he became a British citizen. I recall him with love & affection & pride & carry the lessons he taught me in my heart every day. If it were not for my dad I would not be a lawyer today & in his memory I work hard everyday to make a difference for as many as I can. Immigration is a beautiful thing & don’t let charlatans like Farage tell you otherwise ❤️

What is our biggest fear? To be told you will die and soon? There is no hope, nothing anyone can do? For my lovely Jess this became her reality. There was no time to fulfil a bucket list or even celebrate a last Christmas. 🧵1/3

I remember a year ago when I spoke to some journos about why they weren't printing material about her, and they told me they'd received threatening letters from her lawyers.
I decided to start tweeting about it anyway, and I'm glad I did.
They've lied for years, and now that DHSC is suing PPE Medpro for £122 million for unusable gowns, they've no choice because they're finally exposed.
It's only about the money & always about the money.
They profiteered while front line NHS staff suffered and people died alone.

@BritAthletics@PdunnPaula Wow, absolutely marvellous, they actually made the correct appointment there! Congratulations Paula and so very well deserved 👏💪
An absolute banger of a start!
Elton John is a stunning example of why music education and music opportunities are essential for all children and not just for those whose parents/carers can afford them. #Glastonbury#EltonJohn#musiceducation
