Highlighting that just yesterday a national newspaper tried to create outrage about Pride. Pride is a protest. LGBTQ+ attacks are the result of a climate of hostility.

Goodbye to @BBCXRay. It’s done amazing work over the years and produced some of the finest journalists I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I hope its spirit abides. X

It’s new audiobook day and I have follow-on nerves. Whenever I’ve loved a book the next one never quite hits the mark. True Crime Story by @josephknox__ was a barnstormer, so in an attempt to break The Curse of The Next Audiobook, I’m lining up his back catalogue. Wish me luck!

1/6 We’ve been a bit quiet lately but for good reason. Let me explain… This past year we’ve been covering stories about the pandemic and its impact on deaf and disabled people. We could see how they were being disproportionately affected…

@KalpanaBoodhoo And Iceland!

@walkerjchris It's been such a good show. Also loved Russia and Finland!

Surely it’s got to be Malta - no contest #Eurovision

@KalpanaBoodhoo Erm...what I did your kids drink with their tea?!! Were you just very keen to get them to bed before Eurovision started?!

Wine, takeaway and Eurovision #Eurovision

@KalpanaBoodhoo France is my number 2, but Malta just has to win!

@walkerjchris Malta is definitely up there but I loved France too

Our 8 year old just told me that in lieu of an actual present for my birthday this year, he’s going to give me the honour of *not* farting in my face for a whole day. I’m thrilled, of course.

Just installed Signal. The list of my contacts who’ve also installed Signal is really telling. There aren’t many, but I’m pretty sure I could have predicted 90% of them!

Somebody found this Corgi puppy laid out in a shop surrounded by claret. They thought he'd been attacked and was hurt and bleeding... It turns out he'd eaten and entire jar of Jam and passed out on the floor in a sugar crash...😂😂😂

If you’re trying to explain to someone outside of the UK and the EU who is (understandably) far from clear why these trade talks are proving so hard to resolve, this 2 minute video may help. It’s about how it’s hard to compromise on ideas and beliefs.

@FoxNikkiFox @hollieee @JamesPratt92 Get you, wearing sunnies indoors in December! (It took a while for me to remember signing off the script and realise you were wearing them for telly, not because you got all showbiz all of a sudden! Glad you had a fun day x)

Filming for Watchdog was fun (this won’t make the edit.) With the loveliest Nathan and @hollieee.18 (filming me) and reunited with the brilliant, talented @jamespratt92. instagram.com/p/CIY1N3XnKpQ/…

@stuart11 It could be worse ... it could be a glitter cannon *reaches for the Amazon app*

Had a bad day? Do yourself a favour and whack this on. 2:44 of pop perfection. Devastating lyrics but impossible not to make you feel better open.spotify.com/track/0vZ0pgK6…

This is the best, Nikki is the best. Huge congratulations @FoxNikkiFox - so well deserved xx

This story says 82% of critical care beds in Greater Manchester are occupied but for some reason it doesn't mention what a normal occupancy % is. Here are the adult critical care bed numbers for October last year: Manchester Uni Trust: 87% occupied Salford: 97% Tameside: 100%

@ZymologistsMCR Great, thanks. Could I reserve one double cheddar and one seeded loaf, along with dough for 3 pizzas please. Will collect around lunchtime. Thanks, C

@ZymologistsMCR what’s the best way to reserve a few things today for collection later?
