If Farage's people are real, ordinary and decent then I must be pretend, weird and immoral. Section 28 values. #Prejudice #LGBTPrideMonth

β€œthe perpetrators are groups of men, almost all British-Pakistani” This is a straight-up, far-right lie that your own department’s research and data contradict: theguardian.com/politics/202…
Grooming gangs are a stain on our country. Last summer Rishi Sunak promised that if he became Prime Minister, he would make eradicating grooming gangs, and delivering justice for their victims, a personal priority. We are now making good on that promise. dailymail.co.uk/debate/artic…

In 2021, Paul O’Grady visited The RVT with @PT_Foundation and spoke about the now infamous β€œpoppers raid” which took place when Lily was performing on our stage in 1987 at the height of the AIDS crisis. A true hero to LGBTQ+ people, thank you Paul.

A heartfelt and rousing tribute from tonight’s host @MichaelTwaits and a moment of loving noise from tonight’s audience for an RVT legend and LGBTQ trailblazer, Paul O’Grady/Lily Savage.

Greg Dyke, the DG of the BBC, was sacked for opposing the government over Iraq. The lesson? If you work for the BBC, you can only be an active or passive supporter of the government. If not, you're gone. See @mediareformUK for better ideas for the BBC news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_polit…

Replying to @CockertonMark
It also tells us how much β€˜Lineker’ is paid. But not Sharp, nor Davie. Almost unfathomable.

This article refers to either Tim Davie, or Mr Davie. Never β€˜Davie’. Also to Richard Sharp, or Mr Sharp. Never β€˜Sharp’. However Gary Lineker is never referred to as Mr Lineker and invariably described as β€˜Lineker’. It’s subtle I know but quite deliberate. bbc.com/news/uk-64918162

Worth bearing in mind, this is what the BBC said to me in 2020 when Andrew Neil was being a shouty, right-wing pile on orchestrator on Twitter. Compare and contrast.

There's so much about The Sun's relationship to the Conservative Party in these two short paragraphs from Matt Hancock's self-serving Pandemic Diaries.

NEW: last week we got the latest UK census data, on ethnicity, religion & identity. It was met with toxic responses from the usual suspects seeking to weaponise the stats. Almost every word of what they claimed was false. My column: enterprise-sharing.ft.com/re… And a thread 🧡
