@wesstreeting just caught you on @GMB talking about #attackads and wanted to let you know, sharing and stats might also indicate how many people have been turned off by them; sharing in horror. I for one am thinking of not bothering to vote @UKLabour for the first time in my life

@NickyAACampbell ‘We shall tell lies to the end. We shall lie in France, we shall lie whilst in boats on the seas and oceans, we shall lie with growing confidence and growing strength spreading fear, we shall upend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall hide ourself in fridges......’

Thanks @BBCPanorama for including me and @ComputerWeekly in this important programme on the Post Office scandal. I'm glad to have played a part in getting the story out - read Great Post Office Scandal by @nickwallis for the whole saga

@BBCPanorama @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I try to keep these injustices in mind, ever since first hearing about them. Watching tonight is challenging my faith, reminding me of all those in other situations with lives destroyed by corruption and it’s making me cry. Why? Why? Why? People can be so cruel. #BBCPanorama

@thenitinsawhney I’d heard this had happened, but seeing it with my own eyes is truly wonderful to behold. What an absolute legend! 😂😂😂

@Beauferal @GloriaAllred Listening to @Channel4News and so sad to see this issue being swept under the carpet in this way. Those who have been and who are being abused deserve a whole lot more than this. Just awful!

@GloriaAllred Gloria surely Virginia and other accusers should take this all the way to court, not settle and reveal the truth as conclusively as possible even if ‘proved’ wrong. Don’t settlements undermine the legal profession and leave to much doubt floating about?

🚨🌍 #Breaking
Today's @UNFCCC report shows that the world is on a catastrophic pathway to 2.7C of heating.
UN-SG @antonioguterres says failure to meet the #ParisAgreement 1.5C goal “will be measured in the massive loss of lives and livelihoods.”

At only 1.1C of warming today, those least responsible for the climate crisis are facing head-on devastation.
Wealthy nations must deliver on their $100 billion/yr pledge to help poorer countries adapt to the effects of #climatechange and reduce their emissions.

Scientists warn that CO2 emissions must fall by 45% by 2030 to limit global warming to 1.5C.
The @UNFCCC found that current pledges on emissions from 191 national governments would result in a 16% *increase* in emissions by 2030 compared with 2010 levels.

@Oxfam I completely respect Oxfam and all the things you and others do to improve the lives of many of us in this dear old world of ours. But aren't the requests we make falling on ears consumed with other concerns and competing with those whose priorities are focused elsewhere?

@MagdaDavitt77 Read you in @guardian today. Brilliant! Saddened, no horrified by your experience with Prince; have loved his music over the years and this side of him had totally passed me by. Knowing you gave money from your successful second album as penance made me smile deeply inside. XXX
