@campbellclaret He was nailed by your oppo, @RoryStewartUK

Lying twat, crook and charlatan. Talking about his third term in office when it is a first term in prison he needs. Misconduct in public office. Repeat offender

And so, with apologies to my friends in the Green Party, of which I remain proud to be a member, today I will be voting for the Lib Dems. I will not feel as good or as honest as I would voting green. But in a contest that could well go to the wire, I feel it’s what I have to do.

It’s going to be very tight, but if we can unseat the Tories here today we can, in a small but not insignificant way, shift the dial towards a progressive alliance and perhaps ultimately a more representative democracy. ⬇️

So unfair that there are times when the opportunity to “game it to change it” becomes almost impossible to resist. Today I have such an opportunity, a chance to cast a vote that might actually have an impact on that system. ⬇️

I’m voting in the Honiton and Tiverton by-election today. And I’m afraid I’m going to break a pledge I made a year ago, when I joined the Green Party. I said I was fed up of voting tactically and made a commitment to vote Green at every opportunity. ⬇️

I simply wanted my green vote to be counted, even when I knew I couldn’t really make it count. A system where one million General Election votes gets the Tories 20 MPs but the Greens only 1 is a grossly unfair system. ⬇️

And no I’m not an NHS patient, I went private and did it on my own terms with backing from a member of my family. Over 7 stone between these pics, although it doesn’t look it!

Good for you Steph. 👍

politicians should be required to wear a jacket that has all the corporations sponsoring them like nascar

How many of you hold it together in front of friends & family so you don't have to see them upset, then bawl privately?

The thing no one ever talks about in regards to having hope & staying positive with #cancer is how utterly crushing it is when positivity meets the reality of recurrence. @ThanksCancer

Ok, I get that some people with #cancer can play the "maybe I'll be ok" game, but this tumor is eating my brain. It's in my memory, and vision centers. There is an inevitably to progression I can't avoid or deny. I already don't recognize faces & have a hard time with words

Normalize making a doctor give you tests to prove you're not dying of #cancer instead of treating symptoms only. There are no self checks for the brain. You can't check for lumps & symptoms like headache are written off as normal. I had brain cancer for 20 years before a scan.

How do you cope with the existental dread of facing up with mortality much sooner than you expected? Please drop recommendatons for books, podcasts, or drugs. I'm 38 and I get very upset when I realize that according to "median survival rates" my time might be VERY limited.

Loving walking around superbloom and watching it evolve! Huge amount of effort from lots of talented people to make this possible.

It’s easy to forget that an editor (or a deputy editor in the chair on the day) pulling a published story at Downing Street’s request is letting down a newspaper’s journalists at least as much as its readers.

This Sat 25 June at 8pm, @Regina_Saba is talking at St Peter's Church in Hever for @heverfestival all about Thomas Boleyn. Thomas’ tomb is seated inside the church so there truly couldn’t be a better place to host this talk. Purchase tickets here: bit.ly/LaurensTalk

My invite must have been lost in the post this year …. @rupertmurdoch summer party tonight.All Cabinet invited. I wonder if that might explain the dropping of Simon Walters’ story about Johnson’s corrupt job offer to his mistress, the one he had while his then wife had cancer1/2
