To anyone from outside of Glasgow going to MCR at the weekend: if you happen to see 'a parade'/marching band happening in the city on Sat - please be aware, it is NOT a parade!

The Orange Walk actually carries a LOT of unpleasant politics/history here so it's best not to engage

Sound familiar? This is a quote from the diary of Anne Frank, dated January 13, 1943.

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.

Tory peer @MichelleMone - who today rightly (& wonderfully) lost her legal case - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.

What, Michelle?

For the £122 million you pocketed from taxpayers for delivering unusable PPE – at least £65 million of which went straight into your venal husband’s offshore accounts in the Isle of Man?

For being one of a small minority of corrupt grifters who saw a global pandemic as nothing more than a chance to get rich quick?

For caring more about lining your own pockets than the deaths of NHS staff & patients?

For being disgustingly cynical & avaracious - unlike all those millions of ordinary, decent Britons across the country who stepped up with such courage & decency?

I was given masks whose ear loops fell off & aprons so flimsy they ripped apart when you tried to put them on, Michelle.

Nurses and porters in our hospital died from the Covid they caught there, Michelle.

How dare you try to bleat victimisation now, Michelle?

You are the polar opposite of the values that should govern public life.

Repay what you owe & get your dishonourable form as far away from the House of Lords as possible.

Hugh Grant, "Politicians mistakenly believe that their entire careers and fate rely on sucking up to the owners of tabloid newspapers"

"But such was the pressure of the big newspaper barons on government, and such was the cowardice of government, that they found a tiny technical loophole in the legislative process"

"Here we are 12 years later, having waited 12 years for a Labour government, Labour said to victims of press abuse with their terrible stories. Labour said: its ok guys, the Tories are awful, once we're here we'll take care of this"

"Suddenly as the election loomed last year, dead silence from Labour"

"Since Labour have been in government, absolutely nothing"

"On the contrary, what we're now seeing is a repetition of what happened under the Blair government"

"Where you have a Labour government sucking up to the very organisations that perpetrated these abuses in the first place"

"You have Keir Starmer the Prime Minister writing articles for The Sun. Having lunch with Lachlan Murdoch last year. Hiring the ex Chief Operating Officer of News UK, the Murdoch news company in this country, as the most important communications civil servant in Number 10"

"Arranging for Rupert Murdoch to be at the big state banquet for Trump. And having him sit right next to Morgan McSweeney who is the PM's chief of staff"

"And it's pretty hard to stomach for the families who were promised so much by Labour"

Tom Bradby, "Are you saying to me that the pledge that Keir Starmer made to you and other victims was unequivocal, and that you feel personally betrayed by the fact they have done nothing about it"

Hugh Grant, "Yeah, all the victims feel personally betrayed by all the politicians and most depressingly by this Labour government"

"Labour were marvellous in opposition"

"Labour politicians were very supportive to these families who were really brave, and then when push came to shove, they made this decision clearly. And it's a mistaken decision"

"That it's more important for them, for their political careers. For the sake of their party, their bl**dy party, that they make nice with the big newspaper barons, than they do what's right for these families"

"And lets face it, for the country"

"And what Hacked Off if here to do right now is to try and put pressure on this government on this prime minister to finally do something that will protect those families"

"We're asking the PM to do something, to create a law, that makes newspapers obey basic standards of decency"

"And in doing that to create a press in this country that we can be proud of, that we can rely on. Which is absolutely essential in this day and age"

"I watch, we all watch, liberal democracies that we have happily enjoyed for 30, 40, 50 years, gradually start to disappear"

"If you don't have a reliable press, you're in real trouble. You're left to the cowboys of social media"
