@RupertLowe10 You and I will never agree on politics, nor would I agree with Ann's politics, but in this I agree. Let's remember that someone's friend and family member has passed away in absolutely dreadful circumstances. My condolences to her loved ones.

Emily Thornberry slams Donald Trump accusation that British troops weren't on the front line in Afghanistan

"It's an absolute insult"

"An insult to 457 families who lost someone in Afghanistan"

"How dare he say we weren't on the front line"

Yesterday, a magpie raided a nest but left all of the dead chicks scattered on the lawn. Why would it do that? Why didn't it eat them? @RSPBEngland #BBCSpringwatch @IoloWilliams2 #Birds

Gutted to hear that @marksandspencer are shutting the #Wolverhampton store. It's been there since 1929. So short sighted. We need shops in the high street. And where the hell am I going to get a bra!!

The response to Jamie’s Dyslexia Revolution has been incredible 💙Now it’s time to turn support into action. A new Education Secretary means a new chance to make change. Head to my site to get involved - send a message, use the tag, spread the word. Let’s make it happen 🙌

Every classroom, every day, there are three kids in every classroom left out of learning. That has to change. There is no excuse. #ComeOnBridget - make sure every teacher (not just the new ones) is ready to support every child, and that we identify all children who need support as soon as they need it. @bphillipsonMP , @jamieoliver

Three kids in every classroom are being left out of learning. Not because they aren’t smart. But because no one spotted they’re dyslexic. That has to change.

I have my Great Uncle's war record, but I don't understand some of the abbreviations and words e.g. RAZZH2, Ech 1, India X. The regimental museum and the national army museum don't know either. Can anyone help? #RoyalBritishLegion #WW2 #Burma #BritishArmy @TheBurmaStar

@izzywestbury @BritishArmy @GSTTnhs @Belsen1945 My Grandad was one of the British soldiers who liberated Bergen-Belsen. He was one of the first to go in. I'm plucking up the courage to watch the Sam Mendes documentary.

[Siân Alcott @sharny_a]

@ForcesNews Thank you. My Grandad was one of the British soldiers who liberated the camp #LestWeForget.

[Siân Alcott @sharny_a]

@HolocaustUK My Grandad was one of the British soldiers who liberated Bergen-Belsen. Never again!

[Siân Alcott @sharny_a]

@DrHelenFry My Grandad was one of the British soldiers to liberate Bergen-Belsen. He said that they tried to feed them, but they couldn't cope with the food. He said that it should never be allowed to happen again.

[Siân Alcott @sharny_a]

@Keir_Starmer My Grandad was one of the British soldiers who liberated it, too. #lestweforget

[Siân Alcott @sharny_a]

80 years ago today, my Grandad, Vic Sanders, was one of the British soldiers who liberated Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. He didn't talk much about it, as it upset him so much. What he did say is that we must never ever let this happen again. #BergenBelsen @HolocaustCentUK

[Siân Alcott @sharny_a]

Heartbreaking to watch. The absolute bravery shown by Leanne, Heidi, 'Sarah', the chap over the road, the guys at the garage, the man in the car... (forgive me if I've forgotten anyone). All deserve the George Medal #Panorama #Southport

[Siân Alcott @sharny_a]

If you live in South Staffordshire, please support this great cause. #SouthStaffordshire #STAFFORDSHIRE @GavinWilliamson #CheslynHay

@PlashingVole I'm sorry to hear this. My condolences to his family and friends.

[Siân Alcott @sharny_a]

Absolutely agree!

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

People have had enough of Elon Musk interfering with our country’s democracy when he clearly knows nothing about Britain.

It’s time to summon the US ambassador to ask why an incoming US official is suggesting the UK government should be overthrown.

@GraemeBWilson @bugboybaker @ChrisGPackham @MeganMcCubbin @BritishSpiders @TheHawickPaper @bordertelegraph @ITVborder Oh, that's great! I'm so glad that she was rescued.
