Alan Rusbridger(former Editor Guardian): "To confuse perception with bias... is schoolboy stuff... the govt has enough control of the BBC... but what about GBnews... which shows much more bias... but for some reason this govt doesn't want to do anything about them." #KayBurley

Neil Young, walking through the park one day, is stopped by a fan and asked how he plays Cinnamon Girl. Neil sits down, drops the tuning, shows him how, and strolls off to continue his day. Coolness personified.

A nation that says "Children are the future" but sends them to learn in buildings so cold you struggle to write because your hands are shivering. Shameful. https://t.co/4auD5cADuX

The Daily Mail continued to publish articles - like this one by the reliably wrong Melanie Phillips - well after the scare stories about the MMR vaccine had been scientifically debunked. The Daily Mail bears a large share of the blame for the resurgence of measles.

The Tories are failing victims of grooming. A year on and not a single recommendation from the inquiry into child sexual abuse has been implemented. Once again itโ€™s all talk and no action from a failing Prime Minister and a failing Government.

Sunak plans to divert 100s of judges to fast-track appeals of refugees terrified of being sent to Rwanda, in an attempt to pacify extremist Tory rebels. Meanwhile, hereโ€™s what @RapeCrisisEandW has to say about court delays for victims of rape & sexual assault in record backlogs.

If we have to have a monarchy, could we make it a subscription or crowd-funded model? Those who want them can pay for them - that's how it works for everyone else in showbiz...

@theAliceRoberts This is one of the two sewage plants in Copenhagen. It has the capacity to clean sewage water from 750.000 people. It's so effective that people can bathe safely in the harbour. The waste is used to make biogas, supplying 60% of the gas needed in Copenhagen. Pure win win.
