5 years on and I still feel sad. What a loss to music and a loss to the world. A kind man who meant so much to so many and what a voice! #GeorgeMichael

I’ve just donated. If you can spare £10 then keep them in mind
Christmas won’t be magical for every child. This year we want to send more surprise festive book parcels than ever before and light up Christmas for 16,000 children who are vulnerable or in care. ✨ Can you help? https://t.co/MRgxOHR4a4

Utter scum! Shame on her!
This is how Allegra Stratton spoke to a working class woman who *did* follow the rules.

Those who have the privilege of working with children should always understand their corresponding safeguarding duty. Victoria Climbie would AND SHOULD have been 30 years old today.
The legacy of a little girl whose murder rocked the nation. Time to make #VictoriaClimbie the iconic patron of child safeguarding.

I’ve just spent 15 minutes telling my partner how amazing Nutan is after watching #Ambulance on iPlayer. Genuinely feel better to know people like her exist in the world
“I find this job empowering because when we make a difference, you can definitely tell in both patients and families that you have helped them. “As soon as you walk out of that job knowing that they are happy, there's no feeling like it.” - Nutan #Ambulance

I can confirm that it was in fact me that said yesterday that there wouldn’t be a circuit breaker lockdown at half term. It was not @GavinWilliamson . However, I can understand the confusion because we are both white men with some connection to education! #Ffs #ItojeIsNotRashford
