Kate Winslet is right about the dangers of social media and harmful internet content on children. I’m prepared to be the bad guy for the time being and take her advice to “just say no”.

Aside from everything else, this is just a very silly day? Silly costumes, silly words, very silly old men passing around bowls and spurs and swords and tin openers while trying to pretend it is A Serious and Sacred Act, and not at all silly. But it’s so, so silly 😭

I know the whole Catholic thing is a no-go with the monarchy but could they at least borrow a few of the tunes to liven things up a bit? These hymns are DREARY.

admirable attempt by the Archbishop of Canterbury to try and pretend that the theme of this expensive ego-trip is ‘service’ and the billionaire in the golden carriage has a lot in common with Jesus, actually

Things Met Police has a high tolerance for:
✅racists, rapists and domestic abusers within their ranks.
Things Met Police has a low tolerance for:
❌people who disrupt a ‘celebration’ rooted in class privilege; women who gather to protest one of their murderer officers
Quote Tweet
Our tolerance for any disruption, whether through protest or otherwise, will be low.
We will deal robustly with anyone intent on undermining this celebration.

Because I didn’t have any concept of how far 22.7 miles was before I signed up, I’m doing the Glasgow Kiltwalk!
I’m hoping to raise some money for @CPAGUK and I would be so grateful for any £ (or pep-talks) you can spare

The Scottish Parliament will debate the #RefugeeBanBill this afternoon. This Bill seeks to
⚠️remove the right to seek asylum in the UK
⚠️remove protections for survivors of trafficking
⚠️re-introduce detention of children & pregnant women
It's a horrendous set of proposals.

"Last winter, my local foodbank gave out flyers directing clients to the nearest ‘warm bank’ so they could get a few hours of respite from the bitter cold of their unheated homes.
It’s a matter of priorities and the powers that be have got theirs all wrong."
