Not a single Reform MP has bothered to turn up to today's House of Commons debate on tackling violence against women and girls

Luke Littler: youngest ever World Darts champion at 17 years old 🤯

Inspiring role model to school children (& adults) on value of good numeracy.

So impressive at doing calculations in his head but has said himself that maths didn't come naturally to him at school.

He has worked on his mental arithmetic over time to become a numbers whizz, showing numeracy is a skill we can work on. Thank you young Luke.

@jennykleeman Go Jenny! I’m cheering you on - even if you did beat Emmanuel 😁

Tommy Robinson is in jail for contempt of court because he repeated false claims against a Syrian refugee.

Its not a 'debate'. Its a lie and he tried to use it to foment anger and hatred in our society for political gain. Elon Musk appears to be doing the same.

Happy Meldrew Point Day, Missy Elliott! You have reached 19,537 days old and have hit your Meldrew Point - the age of Richard Wilson on the day One Foot In The Grave was first aired on Jan 4, 1990. I don’t believe it!

your regular reminder that despite being on every single news story everywhere Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has less MPs than Sinn Fein

@x_jessiiccaaa_x Aww Jess! They’re a long way away this Christmas. I’m sending you lots of love xxx

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Hello @Keir_Starmer I hope you’re having a good start to Christmas . I didn’t know who else to write to so I’m hoping you can help . Please make some calls & get this poor woman out of prison for Christmas . This doesn’t reflect well on the UK . Thanks #loveactually Please RT

The narrative emerging that the Magdeburg suspect attacked “Christians” makes no sense when you remember that eastern Germany is majority atheist (dark Green on map)

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Christmas is a time for empathy and acceptance. Let’s stop blaming migrants and refugees for the problems in our society — and start treating them with dignity and respect.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

This is deeply concerning. A record number of people who have taken part in protests will be in prison in the UK this Christmas, raising concern about the ongoing crackdown on dissent

"Talent is spread equally across all children. Opportunity certainly is not." - @PollyBLabour

With arts education in urgent need of reform, we're encouraged by the debate on creative arts education that took place in Westminster this week.

The perfect last-minute Christmas gift for the wildlife-watcher in your family…?! Travel Guidebook of the Year and (I reckon) perhaps the best book I have written. Bargain £7 plus postage at cost…

Just listening to the last minutes of @ZoeTheBall’s breakfast show. I’m really going to miss it 😢

I’ve loved listening to her 📻🎶

Listening to politicians talk about asylum seekers it sounds like their one & only purpose is to keep people out.

Which of you is not too much of a coward to say: it is GOOD that people escape from danger.

And it is GOOD that the UK can be a place of sanctuary, actually.

I love this map of places where sycamore gap tree saplings will be planted. They include the Rob Burrow Centre for MND and a plot in memory of a 15 year old girl killed by her ex-boyfriend. They stretch from the Orkneys to Cornwall. By the National Trust.

Chairman of @marksandspencer Archie Norman @therealarchie tells me on @TimesRadio that Brexit means they've had to hire a warehouse just to store the paperwork needed to export to the Republic of Ireland….
