I’m not someone who thinks we should be ratcheting up sentencing across the board… but I really do think we need to look at sentencing for viewing child abuse imagery online. These are real crimes with real - child - victims.

.@BBC insisting on reporting racist rioters as 'protestors' and 'demonstrators' is a gross misrepresentation of the violence impacting communities of colour across the UK. Language matters.
“Protests”. You keep saying “protests” @BBCNews - do you mean white supremacists are on the streets terrorising Muslims? What exactly are they “protesting” against?

The craziest thing to me, having experienced constant sexual harassment (down to literally being followed, physically accosted, having to change my route home) as a teenager in school uniform, is how much less I got as soon as I hit my 20s, and definitely 30s

The number 38 represents the 38% rise in reported domestic abuse cases when England's men’s football team loses a major tournament. Reported cases increase by 38% when England lose and by 26% when they play - a statistic unchanged for a decade.

It’s one thing for social media cretins to share this woman’s name but the journalistic ethics of a national paper doing it…unjustifiable! I hope she sues.
(redacted her name even though it’s v easy to find as on principle, I don’t want to share it)

Commissioners love to ask "Why now?" "Why do we need this script now?" Like I don't know pal, why do we need a 5th series of Mrs Browns Boys? Why is now a good time for another series following a well known comedian going on holibobs with his mum? I'm going to screeaaaammm
The most unexpectedly, viscerally life-affirming peice to read on a very grey Sunday. Thank you for sharing @bennylauren

From Miriam being "revealed" as a transgender woman to contestants trashing the set, it was the cruellest reality show ever. I wrote about There's Something About Miriam, the tragic fallout and why it was a TV low theguardian.com/tv-and-radio…
Very proud of all the clever, brilliant people that have made this. A great idea from @joefowler50 , then made by the MEGA talented @markcooperjones and @lunedtonderai . Monday at 9pm, please watch !
Like most who saw it, I've never forgotten the 2004 reality show There's Something About Miriam. And so it was a privilege to work with such an amazing team on a documentary series about that show, and the life & death of its star, Miriam Rivera. It starts on @Channel4 Monday 9pm
I thought Baby Reindeer was extraordinary in many ways, but haven't been able to stop thinking about the moral complexity of it being a true story. Particularly following everything that's happened on Twitter the last few days. This is a really interesting peice @JNRaeside
