I wonder if Netflix’ heart-breaking and enraging new documentary #GrenfellUncovered will mobilise public opinion in the same way as #MrBatesVsThePostOffice. The gross negligence of so many and the lack of justice for the victims is hard to stomach.

Oh Little Marco. How much further must you demean yourself? It can’t be worth it. If you want to complain about anti-democratic actions then focus closer to home. Your boss is out of control.

Describing the 10% Trump tariff rate that the UK will face as a ‘Brexit dividend’ is like the man who shot his own foot off getting a great bargain at a shoe sale five years later. #politicslive 👞

JD Vance didn’t need to do anything more to become the most hated man in Europe, but he did anyway. This is exactly what Putin might say about Ukraine. #JDVance #Denmark #NATO
JD Vance: Denmark is not doing its job, and isn't being a good ally…if that means we need to take more territorial interest in Greenland that is what president trump is going to do. Because he doesn't care about what the Europeans scream at us…

I appreciate that as a government minister Luke Pollard has his lines to take on #bbcqt. However to the average voter it just comes across as evasiveness and further reduces trust in politicians and the political process. Please speak to us like adults who have brains🙏🏼

I’m embarrassed to admit we’d never seen @anncleeves.bsky.social’s brilliant #Shetland until last month. It’s been such a pleasure making our way as far as season 6 so far. Excited to meet Ashley Jensen’s character in due course, but Douglas Henshall as DI Jimmy Perez has been just fantastic👏🏼

Looks like I’ll be celebrating my birthday with @maitlis.bsky.social and @jonsopel1.bsky.social. Surely you must have a book coming out too @lewisgoodall.com so I can manage @thenewsagents.com trifecta?😊

Anna Madeley is simply wonderful in All Creatures Great and Small. She delivers one of her strongest and most moving performances in tonight’s Christmas special. #ACGAS

I wish @andyburnham.bsky.social would have a word with Keir Starmer about “exposing the big lie of Brexit.” Not only has it changed the nature of migration, but continues to depress economic growth. #BBCLauraK

I honestly thought James Hetfield from #Metallica had turned up in person to support @chrismccausland on #Strictly last night! Chris’s friend is his spitting image.

So many of the problems the UK faces today come down to years and years of underinvestment: transport and energy infrastructure, education, healthcare… The list goes on. #bbcqt

#bbcqt was a pretty good microcosm of the state of British politics today. Labour on the defensive. Tories marginalised. Reform exploiting a growing wave of dissatisfaction. And all pretty bad-tempered. Four years of fun and games ahead🙄

I am very much here for the collective ire of “middle-class women of a certain age” as they complete the burial of Gregg Wallace in a large hole of his own digging.

Whoever is advising Gregg Wallace (and I suspect it’s Gregg Wallace) should really stop digging at this point.
