People of the UK: feel free to go to bed, I'll keep an eye on the Yanks and will let you know if they do anything weird in the night...

Warrior Woman ❤️ Rest in Love Janey @JaneyGodley ❤️

Knowing for the past few weeks that this moment was fast approaching didn’t make it any less heartbreaking to hear the news early this morning that Janey had died. Janey Godley truly was a force of nature, and one of the funniest people I have ever known. I was able to visit her in the hospice a couple of weeks ago and though she was fragile, she still had me in stitches. Janey was also incredibly kind. And she made the world a better place. A bond was forged between us in the darkest days of Covid when her famous voiceovers of my daily briefings went viral. In the toughest of times, she made people laugh - and that was precious. She did more that that though. In managing to project the serious public health messages of my briefings to a much wider audience than I would have managed alone, she helped save lives. The photos on this post are from an event we did together last year - it was a special night. I was so proud to call Janey a friend and will miss her hugely. My heart goes out to her family and many friends - they are in my thoughts today. I know Frank will have been there, holding the door for her as she went - with a tear in his eye, as I have in mine. RIP my friend ❤️

@geoffforcrookes We were shocked to see a distinct lack of Mr. Jones too Geoff!

Wasn't going to buy anything at the Art in the Gardens event but as I live in Crookes and with cats I couldn't resist this. Bella and Heidi aren't featured.

Sometimes the world just stops and things that seemed important just disappear. RIP our brave and beautiful girl...

Results day's coming up and we know it can be a really tough day for lots of people. What would you say to someone worried about their exam results? Let us know below, incase someone needs to hear it 👇

Well folks it has been an intense few weeks and I'm taking some time away from digital mediums to spend some positive quality time in the real world. I'm not sure what the next weeks will be bring, but I'm hopeful that it will give people the chance to catch breath and heal.

We all belong.

Nigel Farage was rehabilitated by ITV when it paid him £1.5m to appear on I’m A Celeb. He is also joint-second for most appearances on BBC Question Time. When I say the *entire* media class is complicit in the normalisation of Islamophobic & anti-migrant rhetoric, I mean it.

My letter to @Nigel_Farage. Hope the font doesn’t hurt his eyes and brings on a migrant.

Diversity is our strength. #StandUpToRacism "Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here!" Go Sheffield!!

NATIONAL DAY OF PROTEST: STOP THE FAR RIGHT Saturday 10th August 12pm at City Hall, Barkers Pool The solidarity and strength shown in Sheffield this week has been incredibly powerful. Together, we can build a city and country that is safe and welcoming for everyone.

We have freedom of speech in the UK; it's written into our law in the 1998 Human Rigts Act. But rights come with responsibilities (I appreciate that's a concept you're not familiar with); there's a requirement not to incite criminality or spread hatred online. We find society works better that way.

Today my feed filled with messages of hope, love unity and community. Britain coming together to stand against hate, racism,Islamophobia. Personally received so many messages of allyship .Thank you!Stronger together with so much more in common. #hopenothate #strongercommunities

It was a fabulous show of solidarity thank you @NHS_RobW

The violence and racism that we’ve seen over the weekend is distressing and frightening. Please know you are not alone. If you are struggling with everything that is going on you can talk to us free day or night on 116 123.

I never thought I would ever say this but I'm scared, really scared. For myself, my family, my friends people I love and care about. Please reach out to your friends + your colleagues who are hurting. Show them that hate will never win over love and we will not be divided
