There is no such thing as ‘illegal immigration’ please don’t let guests repeatedly use and therefore embed phrases in people’s mindset @bbc5live #NickyCampbell

On the 9th anniversary of her killing, all I want is for Jo’s death not to have been in vain. To be remembered as a moment when we realised the dangers of polarisation, extremism & hate. It doesn’t feel like that at the moment- but she wouldn’t want us to give up. #MoreInCommon

If @darrengrimes went to Specsavers he’d be able to see & quote real data & facts. Fact Y/e 30.6.24 - 48% of migrants were woman - 17% were children under 16. Fact : proportion of woman/children migrants is rising. In 2020 it was 43% & 8% respectively

@darrengrimes You’re just as bad peddling your agenda that it’s all men. Year ending 30.6.24 48% of migrants were woman & 17% were children under 16. There are more women & children now than in 2020 when it was 43% & 8% respectively

Good that social housing being discussed @bbc5live however was concerned to hear someone saying tenants have a lesser voice. Organisations like @tpasengland are good to talk to and involve in discussions like this

So I ‘click & collect’ a big on line shop @BootsUK it’s all boxed up; small cardboard boxes inside very large boxes stuffed with brown paper, all recyclable 👍 yet they charged me 20p to buy a large paper carrier bag also recyclable 🤷‍♀️

Struggling with the @bbc5live debate @NUFC @SunderlandAFC yes a derby game will be brilliant; it’s brilliant for the North East but there’s always a buzz at SJP

This policy only works with an overhaul of social care policy which is constantly deferred. We have a care crisis & this is another policy statement that doesn’t care about adult social care. 🤷🥰@bbc5live

Social care can’t be victim to immigration politics. 1/2 million social care vacancies;£11.45 hourly isn’t appealing. @Five_Lamps as a charity already invests in local communities but paid <£21ph there’s no ££ capacity @bbc5live

@Mike_Padgham @RachelReevesMP Totally agree Mike but it’s not going to happen. Wes Streeting is wedded to resolve NHS first even though we know resolving social care would make a significant difference to budgets and service!

With a Trump win now looking likely @Keir_Starmer’s government must come clean on the catastrophic impact of Brexit on UK trade Whilst they refuse to mention it the OBR report the Chancellor is relying on says Brexit is on course to cut UK trade by a staggering 15% - it’s a huge reduction in the potential economic performance of the country at a time when every penny counts
Peter Stefanovic@PeterStefanovi2

Jeez. Neither @SkyNews or @BBCNews pointed out to the Chancellor & viewers this morning the OBR estimate of a 1.4% boost to GDP from her investment plans over the long-term is 50 years off & the largest factor by far stopping UK economic growth is Brexit I THINK THATS IMPORTANT
