I really don't understand "I could never ever vote Labour, I just CAN'T" without a second's thought or consideration. What was it about 1997-2010 that was so unbearable? Seeing a GP? Having a dentist? Minimum wage? A good welfare system? Schools being built? Kids being fed? What?
Sheesh. What a privilege to be at #letterslive last night. I had a frog in my throat before the first letter was even read. Yes, it's genteel luvvies resisting the turn to heartlessness, but resistance it is nonetheless.

Exposure to gender conversion therapy is associated with double the risk of attempted suicide. Exposure to conversion therapy under the age of 10 years old means four times lifetime risk (Turban 2019). Gender conversion therapy needs to be illegal
#BBCPanorama moving, powerful television. But what now? How have we ended up with a right wing government that underfunds the police and courts? Isn't that supposed to be their thing?
We are a haven for the most crooked people in the world. Is that what 'Global Britain' means?
Extraordinary letter in @ft from former UK defence attaché at Moscow embassy - we warned you about Putin but you listened to the City instead
