@TheJoeHarland Actually made me really sad that I’d never get to listen to a Beatles record for the ‘first time’ in the same way ...I expressed this in the circle of trust that is my loving family and they laughed ...hard 😂

Even if partly true, what Cummings says about @BorisJohnson and @MattHancock should sink them both - leaving in disgrace. But it won't. We've sunk so low in tolerating these incompetent liars. So many will defend them, it's depressing.

[Jim Piper @piper_jim]

Well, Boris is demonstrably unfit for office whichever way you look at it. Either Cummings speaks the truth and therefore Boris is bang to rights, or he’s lying and Boris is unfit for office for allowing such a dangerous loose canon to steer his leadership.

There are 3 cases of the Indian variant in Russia, 5 in Canada, 16 in France, 36 in Ireland - and 1587 in the UK. That is how murderously poor the UK government decision making is. #whydoscotsputupwithit

A moral vacuum Johnson may be but the rest of his peers in the party are little better; stand back and watch his colleagues engage in their all familiar Tory feeding frenzy hatchet job to shoehorn in Gove.

@Haggis_UK Rush to judgement? Greensill was involved with Cameron via the then cabinet secretary from 2011, a year after Cameron was first elected...

Fascinating to see how incandescent with rage people can get when capitalist greed threatens their favourite sport but will passively watch as it demolished their health system.

"as with almost all other diseases, poverty and racism determine who gets sick and dies most from Covid-19."
Must-read new report into Covid deaths & racial disparities from @DoctorsInUnite provides yet more evidence discrediting the #SewellReport

‘In 2021, it is stunning to read a report on race and ethnicity that repackages racist tropes and stereotypes into fact, twisting data & misapplying statistics and studies’

Hallelujah to that!! There is a danger that the purpose becomes secondary to the assemblage of nuts and bolts - good writing is an expressive art - we don’t judge a beautiful landscape painting by whether it’s a photographically faithful reproduction.

[Claire @barnesclaire0]

@MichaelT1979 I have been thinking about this too. Writing is so involved with skills, terminology, grammar - there is so much to learn, we've stopped giving children the chance to just simply enjoy creative writing and finding the joy in it. Just write because it's fun!

Would love to have heard what the two-times European Cup winning former manager of Nottingham Forest would have had to say about the actions of the ‘Big Six’. That’s twice! Two more than Man City, Arsenal and Tottenham combined!

Labour's @JonAshworth asks Matt Hancock why “following a private drink" with businessman Lex Greensill and David Cameron, Mr Greensill's firm was handed an NHS contract

What a lovely picture of Shirley Williams

Guardian editorial tomorrow on #Camerongate.

This lovely guy and his family deserves to have this situation resolved - any small help will enable him to present in court the deplorable set of events that have disenfranchised him from exceptional work that we will all be familiar with but that presently only benefits others.

But of course, Corbyn was the ‘dangerous’ man...

The first time I met Boris Johnson he plonked himself down at the desk next to mine, declared he was writing about Northern Ireland and said: “remind me, which ones are the orange johnnies?” - my latest @prospect_uk blog https://t.co/2gFrIoKC5u
