I did maths from the age of 4 til the age of 16, and those 9 years were all I needed, thank you.

A statement from @CarolyneCulver regarding the events of the last week. I will issue a personal statement in due course. My focus continues to be standing up for those who cannot stand up for themselves & to hold those in power to account for their policies and actions.

We have been working with West Berkshire Action for Refugees & @Thatcham_CC to run cricket sessions for refugees who are staying locally. Find out how 2 of them, Abdul & Popol, got on this weekend as they made their Hard Ball Cricket debuts!🏏🏏🏏🏏berkshirecricketfoundation.org/news/refugees-…

@maitlis Unfortunately you can’t trust the legitimacy of any incoming call CLI (call line identifier) as they can be spoofed see androidauthority.com/best-spoof-cal…

Post script: the weirdest thing is - I never ever ever pick up my phone normally. To anyone. And I’m now thinking that’s the sanest life decisión I have made ...

A short thread on fraud: on Thursday evening around 8pm I got called by the fraud detection squad at my bank and told I’d been a victim of fraud with attempts made on my bank account. I asked how I knew he was for real snd he told me to google the lost and stolen cards number...

It’s hard to know which videos we post will get widely shared. I posted this one this time yesterday, It’s been ‘most watched’ on @BBCNews for hours and has 2.2 million views here. Thanks if you shared or watched. Produced by Michael Cox.

The Met say in relation to the Downing St Christmas party that they don’t investigate crimes retrospectively. That is literally the only way you can investigate crimes.

I normally find @MarrShow considered in its analysis. However using language such as jittery about the #Omicron c-19 variant is just whipping up unnecessary anxiety. The SA scientist was quite clear let’s wait the analysis will take 2 weeks before we know.

TGIF! Wokingham Town Council, Westcott East Lib Dem 479 Con 312 Labour 66 Lib Dem GAIN from Conservative to take control of the Council. Excellent result in John Redwood’s back yard.

Congratulations to this years Vaughany day winners! Thanks to everyone who made it a great day, including all our volunteers who helped the day run smoothly as ever.

🇪🇺 Brexit, a story in 3 parts.

I'm tired of whining from snowflake Brexiteers about how the EU rumpled their hair and then stole their lunch money. No more complaints - you won, now deliver, we want the sunlit uplands right now, please.

The people of French Polynesia were terribly please to see President Macron yesterday.

Yesterday @archiemanners and I convinced anti-vaxxer Piers Corbyn to take £10,000 he thought came from AstraZeneca to stop criticising their vaccine. Except it was monopoly money and we recorded the whole thing. youtu.be/u34rnwBnll4

Did I just tell the border control officer at Manchester Airport. “I’M SORRY BUT WHAT A JOKE OF A COUNTRY YOU ARE RIGHT NOW?” Yes, I just did. Did I just risk being deported back to Spain? Probably. But again, WHAT A JOKE of a country you’ve become, UK.

#SimonCase this guy is an embarrassment, why bother turning up if you can't answer any ?s and forever pleading the 5th. We need DI Arnott and Hastings in Parliament asap.

Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee Donkey ,can you just answer a simple question. Mother of God. #simoncase
