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

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

Passing an emergency law to change a Supreme Court decision you don't like sounds really useful. Unfortunately it's also fascist.

Ant & Dec are going to have to play Nigel Farage's toxicity as a feature in @imacelebrity - for laughs. Like it doesn't exist outside their TV show or his menace is just pantomime. But it's not. He's a poisonous dangerous cunning individual.

Up close an personal with one of my father's latest otters. (If he looks serious, it's because he's got a long swim ahead - he's off to Canada.) Solid Scottish elm otter table, carved by @mastercarvers David Robinson #otterman #otters #ottercarving #woodcarving carving

Great gig at @SheafStreet with @RuncornPlan and @elsahewittx , lost in the music and imagery. Pretty sure I saw Mr Cravo @CravenFaults in the crowd too, resisted urge to shake his hand vigorously.
