It’s A level results day. In August 1996 I was sent to the suicide of an 18yr old woman who’d hung herself. After we cut her down we found her note. She’d failed her A levels. She thought she’d shamed her family. She thought her parents would be angry. 1/2

Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty & this tweet has been doing rounds today. Now imagine my investigation into Russian interference hadn’t been crushed by lawfare, my news org had doubled down & carried on & govt had opened an inquiry as MPs demanded. 😢

Interesting, grim, alarming. Helps make sense of US events but also wider issues for super online young men.

Reform giving a platform to anti-vax crankery. This stuff costs lives. Evidence - if you are one of the people who still needs it - of why they shouldn't be let anywhere near government

I’m sorry to spoil your Boxing Day evening @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer @SteveReedMP @AngelaRayner but this poor fox is not having one . This is the face of illegal fox hunting in the UK . . . it’s got to end . . . we respectfully ask that you will end ‘trail hunting’ in your manifesto . Thank you Please RT
Protect the Wild@ProtectTheWild_26 Dec 2023
Cornered and trapped in a back garden this poor fox had no escape from being torn apart by hounds from the West Norfolk Foxhounds. This is why you should never believe the ‘trail hunt’ lies this Boxing Day or any other day.

Many thanks, @wesstreeting. Have to say I really didn't have "stop exploiting those patients you see dying in corridors in horrifically overwhelmed A&Es" on this year's Christmas list. Please consider reading this short thread in response to your Sunday Times interview. 1/n
