A really serious state of affairs...

[Oliver Doherty @olidoherty]

Bravo @ScarletHowes and @TheSun

Is it time for the @SentencingCCL to have another look at its guidelines for people who look at images of child rape?

Judge HHJ Hehir unimpressed by Mr Hallam’s self aggrandizement.

@DBanksy Here here @DBanksy. I made the same point to HdBG this afternoon. He seems to blame the subs.

[David Banks @DBanksy]

Either way Hamish looks like a fool.

If anything we should be paying kids for their service in the pandemic - cancelling student loans, giving them help with housing, jobs, tax breaks. They saved an entire generation, who ought to be more bloody grateful.

[David Banks @DBanksy]

The Telegraph, once a paper in possession of a formidable subs’ desk, has changed this headline from this…to this.

So furlough, which was paid to employers, not children, to lockdown, which children readily complied with to save the elderly.

@wizzair Minor? The new flights is on a different day. And that prevents me from taking the flight. How do you define 'minor'. I think your customers will all want to know before they decide whether or not to fly with you.

@wizzair I booked a flight with you and paid £2939.40 (REF INGP7U). You changed the flight day/time. I have discovered i can't fly on the new dates. Your staff say i can only have a refund of £1459.90.
Is this correct?
Is this fair?
Do others know this?
How do you justfify this?

What a win for #TeamWomensAid! 🎉⚽
Everyone has a role to play in ending domestic abuse - cross-party in parliament and across the football pitch.

What a shame that @SadiqKhan is such a hopeless Mayor of London as he was once a decent local MP. He might instead focus on Country Lines rather than buggering about with names of the overground lines which no one really cares about.

[Oliver Doherty @olidoherty]

If the coke fuelled “Football lads against extremism” feel so passionately about defending British values, once rounded up by the @metpoliceuk, perhaps send them directly to the Infantry Training Centre Catterick for basic training. They would not last 5 minutes. 🤣
