@SonyaSceats We should get Priti Patel out. She is toxic and racist.

Sharing again my impassioned plea for Britain to eschew the calamitous example of my (otherwise beloved) homeland, Australia. politics.co.uk/comment-analys…

A friendly reminder that Australia's offshore asylum processing costs a staggering £2 million ($4 million) per asylum seeker per year. That requires some reflection - even if you cannot bear to contemplate the cruelty of it all.

@SonyaSceats @VictoriaPogge I very much doubt that... they could use some of the thousand of pounds they charge for visa applications!!!

@JosieSt21393944 @MartinSLewis @GMB @susannareid100 Piers is much more palatable when absent

@MartinSLewis @GMB @susannareid100 Honestly I wish you were permanent with Susanna. You did a fantastic job. I’ve watched bits since Piers left but I’ve watched it all week with you and Susanna. Amazing ❤️ hope you’re back soon!!!! X

Thanks to (almost) all of you for your support on @gmb week. It's a privilege to step out of my usual subject area. @susannareid100 is an incrediblely generous & supportive co-presenter behind the scenes and the team have looked after me well making it so much easier. /contd

And a secret about my interviewing texhnique (if you can call it that) . I can't read briefs on set as the print is too small without my glasses, so I have to just to listen to the guests and ask questions based solely on what they say.

@Botanygeek Plenty of us can !

@turnipvindaloo @JuliaBradbury Ahh the trick is to crinkle your eyes up at the corners.. it works

@JuliaBradbury Tried to smile at people but realised that with a mask on it just looks like you are staring at them!

@JuliaBradbury The day that we no longer need reassure ourselves and each other of our mutual beauty without prejudice, is the day I am praying for.

No to body shaming No to nastiness No to online hate

@mikegoulden @Dominic2306 It was ok at the time whilst he was getting a nice salary turning a blind eye then, so just as bad. I'm sure there will be lots of employers out there wanting to employ him knowing when he doesn't get his way he then grasses his so called mate up.

@Dominic2306 I don’t get the impression that @PippaCrerar (from the Mirror) is writing this up as fact, Dominic. It’s pretty clear she’s holding these statements up to the light so we can all enjoy this gaslighting horse💩for what it is. Let’s not forget your role in enabling these charlatans

@Bradley_Mc87 @Dominic2306 I disagree. You’re assuming an equal division of fighting duties. Presumably the political elite would not fight but instead grant luncrative contracts to their mates who own defence contractors whilst shagging their staff in trade delegations.

@Dominic2306 This doesn’t change the fact that there are almost 50 million kangaroos in Australia and 3.5 million Uruguay citizens. If the kangaroos were to invade Uruguay each person would need to fight at least 14 kangaroos.

@FreeBritneyLive Great idea
