I will continue to oppose the neo Nazis, the racists and the far right bigots who attack our democracy.
Will you join me, my band of brothers and sisters?

It's a running joke in our home every time it comes on.
From the unbranded products sitting behind the fella in the bath, suggesting that perhaps these might not be unbranded bath products afterall!😂
Our imaginations are far too active for our own good.😎

The Pure Cremation TV advert suggests the first thing anyone does when coming home after attending a cremation is ……. er ……. take a bath!

As a Forest fan, Gary Neville wouldn't normally be on my Christmas list, but this goes far beyond football. Kudos, Gary, and shame on all of those spineless politicians who are leaving it to football pundits to call out this horrific racism (Sadiq Khan excepted). #GaryNeville #GoGary #Kudos

"The division that's been created is absolutely disgusting. Mainly created by angry middle-aged white men who know exactly what they're doing." - Gary Neville.

She has done a car crash interview today with every news channel. She clearly hates doing them and is weirdly arrogant and incompetent at the same time. I think her Sky one with Beth Rigby is her best today but not in a good way

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch is defending her shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick after his comments that a community in Birmingham was not 'properly integrated'.
She’s all over the place, absolute shower.
