Good for you. You were right; but it’s time to get back to the real scandal, the way you keep pushing [insert Team name] down the MOTD running order.

Well, it’s been an interesting couple of days. Happy that this ridiculously out of proportion story seems to be abating and very much looking forward to presenting on Saturday. Thanks again for all your incredible support. It’s been overwhelming.

New episode Q and A - on the best speeches we ever heard, the worst private messages that were made public, whether we need population control, who we would trust more with our phone - Oakeshott or Xi Jinping - and plenty more alastaircampbell.org

Due impartiality from BBC journalists is important. But is employed for his knowledge of football. Prue Leith, employed for her expertise in food, supported Brexit. So what? Ridiculous for BBC News bulletins to be leading on this

Not going to be lectured by you 4-Names Schapps.
You have UKRAINIAN refugees (as do I) who were able to get here via a safe route that IS NOT OPEN TO OTHERS. And that is the problem.
NOONE has any time for the criminal gangs. Your Gov action will not only increase them

Hi @BBC,
As a German I can tell you this: when politicians speak in a language not dissimilar to that used in 1930s Germany, I recognise it. Why? Because I have been taught about it all my life—and that it needs to be called out and rejected. It’s a duty to do so, in fact.

Seems to me is entitled to say what he likes - he’s not a political reporter. Just like the frequently voiced views of BBC actors.

was factually accurate. 1. UK has fewer refugees than other European countries. FACT. 2. Language in the debate is redolent of the language used by politicians and media in 30s Germany. FACT. The role of the media is to seek out truth. Facts are quite important to that 2/3

Latest episode @RestIsPolitics - WhatsAppGate - what on earth was Hancock thinking of? Partygate Johnson is toast. SueGrayGate - blah. Plus extreme poverty around the world, we recall Live Aid and debate Shamima Begum in light of recent documentary pod.link/1611374685

💥 AMAZING by Chris Daw KC . A must-watch and must-share.
"To detain someone, without trial, without access to a lawyer, or the courts, and then deport them - it's abominable. The UK will become an international human rights pariah. There's nothing 50-50 about it." ~AA

‘His position’? He’s a broadcaster who works for several organisations. It’s pretend anyone thinks he’s ‘representing’ the Beeb when he tweets. Anyone who disagrees with his viewpoint has absolute freedom to answer him. That’s the country in which we live.

I have never known such love and support in my life than I’m getting this morning (England World Cup goals aside, possibly). I want to thank each and every one of you. It means a lot. I’ll continue to try and speak up for those poor souls that have no voice. Cheers all. 👊🏻

It would seem that someone in the Home Office has rumbled Suella Braverman. The Bill is almost certainly illegal, and so correctly named.
Quote Tweet
JUST ANNOUNCED: Home Secretary @SuellaBraverman has introduced the #IllegalMigrationBill into Parliament.
This new Bill will take tougher action on small boat arrivals.
We are committed to fixing the issue of illegal migration head on.Show this thread

They could 'stop the boats' tomorrow by opening processing centres in France but they don't want to. They would rather have the optics and language of 'invasion' to enrage their flagging base.

Stanley Johnson (he of 'fertility of immigrants' quote) has 6 children, not 4 as in previous tweet
He hit his wife Charlotte (Boris mother) often, once so badly he broke her nose. She was hospitalised
Also accused of harrassing many women
Knight someone like this?

This is a gem of a podcast if you’re a longtime football fan…or even if you’re not. My agent for 45 years, , and Colin Shindler are well worth a listen. Enjoy.

A team up with to show you what’s behind girls dying and 1,200 hospitalised in Iran. An unprecedented chemical attack by the #IRI on girls-only schools as revenge for the #WomanLifeFreedom movement.
🚨 Urgent action needed.

State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nation’s first anti-red flag law. He thinks these bills protect the Second Amendment – and that they make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other. Watch it on @AppleTVPlus.
