The Voice has gone from having a genuine musical legend in Sir Tom Jones to Cheryl and Aitch. What an absolute downgrade, two people with all the vocal credibility of a karaoke machine with a dying battery. @ITV

[Kartel Brown @Kartelbrown]

So many of you are desperately trying to position yourselves on the “right” side of what happened to Jason Arday, now that the consequences of your earlier behaviour are harder to ignore. Absolute trash!

[Kartel Brown @Kartelbrown]

My timeline is full of people laundering their own hypocrisy, and frankly, it’s exhausting af.

[Kartel Brown @Kartelbrown]

Solidarity means something precisely when it isn’t convenient. You don’t get to rewrite the past simply because the present makes your previous position look embarrassing af.

[Kartel Brown @Kartelbrown]

There’s something deeply uncomfortable about watching people rewrite their own history once the mood changes.

Jason Arday was a father of two children.

[Krishnan Guru-Murthy @krishgm]

The disproportionate and bullying commentary and coverage of Jason Arday’s mistakes has been obviously dangerous for days. Yes it was a legitimate story, and in various ways a troubling one. But the relentless coverage, the vitriol and bile. The clip of a man talking about us needing more love in the world endlessly mocked. Compare it to the way others who embellished and invented life stories or floated seemingly naive ideas are forgiven. Obviously employers have duties of care. But spare us the pity of those who weaponised his story for social media clicks without a thought.

[Kartel Brown @Kartelbrown]

The Jason Arday issue should’ve been an HR one, but instead it became weeks of front-page media coverage and public discourse. I hope a lot of people are feeling guilty tonight.

[Thandie ✨ @Thandietweetss]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen @guardian in such a disgusting light.
I’m honestly so disgusted.

[Kartel Brown @Kartelbrown]

The treatment of Jason Arday felt like a modern-day lynching, not with a rope, but with headlines, accusations and relentless public humiliation. The UK press must ask itself how far is too far, and what responsibility it bears when a human being is reduced to a spectacle.

[Kartel Brown @Kartelbrown]

Powerful white men lie, fail and still receive sympathy and second chances. Professor Jason Arday, a Black man, faced relentless scrutiny. Now he is dead. A society that gives some grace while denying it to others must reckon with its conscience. Rest in peace, Jason Arday. 🕊️

I don’t remember Micah saying any of those things to Samraj #LoveIslandUK

[Kartel Brown @Kartelbrown]

For a show that claims to care about contestants’ mental health, the way Jasmine is being edited feels incredibly unfair. It’s uncomfortable viewing and honestly hard to watch. #LoveIslandUK

[Kartel Brown @Kartelbrown]

Why are the editors going so hard on Jasmine? It’s giving very targeted and I don’t like it. Leave her alone #LoveIslandUK

[Kartel Brown @Kartelbrown]

Jasmine is blatantly trying low key find a reason to dead it with Kav to pursue Lorenzo again. #LoveIslandUK

[Kartel Brown @Kartelbrown]

They’re in a luxury villa with a huge pool and somehow all they do is sit in circles discussing the same three conversations. Somebody jump in the water, please. 💦 #LoveIslandUK

[Kartel Brown @Kartelbrown]

This series is starting to fatigue me. Every episode feels like the same argument in a different outfit. #LoveIslandUK

[LBC @LBC]

'It's a disgraceful comment to make...'

@jeremycorbyn reacts to Starmer's comments on his Labour leadership, and reveals his parting message to the PM.

[Kartel Brown @Kartelbrown]

At this point, I’m convinced Samraj’s favourite person is Samraj. The nice guy act isn’t fully convincing me yet. #Loveislanduk

[Kartel Brown @Kartelbrown]

Mica is that one girl from school who could’ve said, “Good morning,” and somehow I’d still be annoyed. A truly special gift. #LoveIslandUK
