@JohnBoyne @DoubledayUK @HenryHolt Looking forward to this. Bit late to the party, but I really enjoyed The Echo Chamber 😊

Bit late to the party, but I just read The Echo Chamber by @JohnBoyne - and it is hilariously good 😂

@SaulStaniforth Interesting 👋👋

@DrSdeG @SoVeryBritish Quicksand was a very real terror for me when I was a kid (even tho I was pretty unlikely to encounter any) & I recently discovered one of my best friends also had this illogical fear 😂. I think it was down to some old films - a western and I believe a Sherlock Holmes film😬.

@NewBjornTab Exactly what I said! 🥳

[DLB @DLBBarr]

@NewBjornTab So cute! ❤️

She should be fired.

Carole Malone @thecarolemalone didn’t misspeak. She pushed a claim she knew was false because attacking Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex has always been her lane. That’s the agenda.

GB News @GBNEWS didn’t apologize out of principle. They apologized because the days of Meghan and Harry staying silent are over.

Accountability hits different when the target finally fights back. Good on them.

@week_in22293 @ZackPolanski Me too! @ZackPolanski

During Corbyn's time as Labour leader, the BBC misrepresented him multiple times, and gaslit us until it was forced to half-heartedly concede wrongdoing.

Nobody at the BBC resigned👇

@Dykeocletian I'm trying not to get weary already with the squabbling. I'm now much closer to joining the Greens than YP - can't shake off the disappointment with all that 'defamation ' nonsense.

[DLB @DLBBarr]

@ZackPolanski @theJeremyVine You were great Zack.Don't worry about @theJeremyVine Not a day goes by without him mentioning how 'they' will be knocking on everyone's doors to "inspect and value their jewellery" if there's asset tax.Apparently it would take a year just to "do his street". 🥱🤔🤷‍♀️

[DLB @DLBBarr]

@smileyrach2 It's just so exhausting though 😥

[DLB @DLBBarr]

@DrNostromo @jeremycorbyn @zarahsultana So disappointed by this whole idiotic debacle. I'm having a serious rethink about getting involved now 😪.

Reform UK want to leave the ECHR and repeal the Human Rights Act, both have been central in protecting and advancing gay people’s rights in the UK

You're right, it's wrong to put people into boxes

But it's also wrong to go on national TV and spew half truths, misinformation, and populist far right tropes

E.g. you talk about asylum seekers staying in 4 star hotels. It's not a hotel in the way you might think of it as multiple people will stay in the same room, and the food provided is not just basic but often the same day in day out

Your use of the phase suggests a life of luxury, no asylum seeker lives in luxury

If anything, we should be angry at the Conservatives for cutting assessors resulting in the need to put asylum seekers in hotels

And then angry at them again for making a number of hotel owners very rich with these contracts for asylum seekers e.g. Clearsprings Ready Homes and Serco both have contracts in excess of £1 billion

But here's the thing, as someone is isn't as vocal about politics as you are, for you to feel certain frustrations and to speak out the way you did today, that shows there's a failure of clear proper explanations coming through to everyday people

So I ask that the frustrations you have you raise them with people with more knowledge of the asylum system, so you aren't caught up in the web of hysteria, misinformation, and in some cases outright lies

Because if well known and otherwise well respected personalities such as yourself are getting it wrong, then conversation and dialogue really does need to improve

And if you'd like to have a conversation on the subject, we have some mutual friends, and I'm sure we could all meet up for tea and and cakes one day, express our concerns and find a better way forward for all of us

@swanseastones Leonard and Hungry Paul. Loving it!

@VictoriaCoren Exactly this! How dare they 😡 I've been fuming all day.

[DLB @DLBBarr]

@Jan_Leeming Another one which is becoming increasingly popular is protocol being pronounced "proto-call". 🙄

Again I'm asking @BBCSport why this disinformation merchant is allowed to post her own hateful political opinions and remain part of your on-screen team. Would really appreciate a response to this
