The story so far.
1. I am not a racist.
2. I didn’t post a racist tweet.
3. My tweet did not incite violence against any protected characteristic.
4. My fairly innocuous tweet was deleted a year ago.
5. Senior lawyers say my tweet does “not come near the threshold for criminal prosecution”.
6. But Essex Police upgraded the accusation from Non-Crime Hate Incident to offence under the Public order Act. Why?
7. Essex Police visited my home but refused to specify either the accusation or the accuser.
8. Under pressure, Essex Police deployed the terrorist-fighting Gold Command to investigate a solitary Welsh journalist 5ft 4 inches who still believes in freedom of speech. Weird, I know.
9. This is all nonsense. Deeply sinister, frightening nonsense and wholly disproportionate police over-reach if you ask me.
10. Last night, I realised I no longer feel safe in my own country. A terrible moment.
As Elon Musk said, “This must stop.” It really must.

Tonight, my thoughts are with the countless victims of the Islamic Republic – those whose lives were taken due to the crimes of Ali Khamenei and Ebrahim Raisi.

Their futures were stolen and many endured untold suffering in their final moments. We will always remember our heroes.

Hybrid meetings may seem very convenient for those WFH. But if you’re not in the room, your presence is half forgotten, your engagement is far less, you miss much of the discussion and your impact is diminished. But perhaps you don’t care about all that…

If you were at last night's charity fundraiser at Le Gavroche and you nicked this on the way out, do the decent thing and give it back.

Incredible. The Harry Potter audiobooks have now been listened to for over one billion hours on Audible - the equivalent of going through Hogwarts 14,000 times. Thank you, Stephen Fry and Jim Dale, for being the voice of so many childhoods ❤️🪄⚡️

The thief who took my bag yesterday.
Does anyone know who he is.
My passport, visa and my working phone and over £10,000 of property were stolen.
Please help me @metpoliceuk #london

We need a full list of attendees at all Downing Street parties.
To be made public.
All of them to be fined in line with what happened to students across the country.
One student was fined for walking in a small group on a beach.
