Look out for this year’s Lyra McKee bursary recipients @AilliyahCherise @jaxsinclairx @erinmakesnoises @charissa_cheong @matthew_kayanja @perkin_amalaraj @Matt7Solomons @FHudoon - a supremely talented bunch who are already taking the industry by storm 🔥 (2/2)

@emmayoule @AilliyahCherise @jaxsinclairx @erinmakesnoises @charissa_cheong @matthew_kayanja @perkin_amalaraj @FHudoon Thank you for all the support this year — hopefully we can all meet in person at some point!!

@RedditorYT And you bro! Keep up the good work — pretty sweet what you’re doing 😉👊

My favourite part about this joke is seeing how many people’s heads it goes over. Never gets old!

[Mark Austin @markaustintv]

Just had an invite for a jab . They’re rattling through this if they’re on the 40-45 yr olds already .

Overkill with this Bernie meme 😴

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Feel the ⁦@GMB⁩ Bern. 🤣

[Matt Solomons @Matt7Solomons]

Concerning the amount of people replying to this without realising it’s a parody account.

[Matt Solomons @Matt7Solomons]

Obviously not condoning the behaviour, but this is misleading from @TheSun. She has not been sacked as this tweet implies, but been taken off air for three months.

Why do hiring depts tend to reject candidates with the "if you haven't heard from us, you've been unsuccessful" thing? Surely it’s simple enough to send out an automated email in bulk? "No" is better than "nothing" and at least acknowledges the time it takes to apply #gradjobs

@annissawarsame Not suspicious at all! 😬

[Matt Solomons @Matt7Solomons]

@annissawarsame Well done, @annissawarsame!

[Matt Solomons @Matt7Solomons]

@annissawarsame Very cool. Wish I could be there 😔

Hope it goes well!

[Matt Solomons @Matt7Solomons]

@annissawarsame Which panel are you on?

[Matt Solomons @Matt7Solomons]

@annissawarsame Funny how much chaos this simple mistake by a social media team member has caused... it’s not as deep as it’s being made out to be. Just shows how anything can be turned into a social debate...
