Just had a proper horror movie moment when I bit into a White Creme Egg to find a mass of ants inside - looked fine from the outside, foil was sealed. Safe to say I won’t be forgetting that in a while… @SPARintheUK @CadburyUK

Kit Connor being forced to out himself to (I think) prove that his casting & attendance at Pride was not queerbaiting? shows a) a warped sense of entitlement to people's private lives that exists online + b) why 'only queer actors can play queer roles' is problematic in practice.

@TitPostLeft This is terrible duty of care from the school. Glandular fever can be absolutely brutal; kept me out of school for a month. ! Also dismissing debilitating migraines which leave you unable to read or think as 'just a headache'. gosh what a toxic outlook.

@EvieAspinall_ @PoliticsForAlI Indeed. This sort of "shut up when speaking about issues that directly affect you" is such a nasty, dismissive, mask-off approach (to the point that I think some of their own MPs are starting to panic about setting themselves against a very popular group of eloquent young men).

@HackneyAbbott Diane, he is also guilty of skipping bail in order to avoid prosecution on charges of rape (which may have 'expired' but that doesn't mean it was OK for him to avoid them). He's not some martyr-like hero of free speech.

@namnesis @HackneyAbbott This is simply factually wrong. He was charged in Sweden, but never appeared in court bc he skipped UK bail to hide in Ecuadorian embassy. Charges dropped after 2 years bc of obstructionism but can be revived, + my point was that they were valid when he skipped bail to avoid them.

Sure, you might have a basic idea, but do you know absolutely everything about the exact details of it? No – you trust medical professionals, not some dude in the car park offering to do it instead.

@D_Yastremska Dayana - you can't do blackface and then say "it wasn't blackface because that wasn't the intention". Sometimes, it's not about your intentions; it's about the impact that your actions have. Please listen and learn why what you did wasn't okay, even if it was meant well.

Ian Blackford was an odious politician when he targeted Charlie Kennedy's alcoholism issues to use as a stick to beat him with, and he remains so in his attempts to protect a sex pest within the ranks of his own party. He shouldn't be anywhere near the office that he holds.

Well, Gareth Roberts has condemned himself with his own words in that statement. If you wanted resolute, concrete proof of his transphobia, there it is plainly laid out. I think that more than anything proves BBC Books correct in their decision.

In past 4 seasons, Kluivert has played in Serie A, Ligue 1 + 1. Bundesliga (making 99 league appearances) + has been capped for 🇳🇱 national team, yet Brexit has somehow seen him denied a work permit.
🚨 Justin Kluivert transfer from AS Roma to Fulham is off - 23yo Netherlands midfielder refused work permit. Despite featuring for #OGCNice on loan last season, lack of recent appearances for #ASRoma meant he failed to meet FA criteria & appeal was not allowed @TheAthleticUK #FFC.

For the second season in a row, a club has been relegated from the Championship not on sporting merit, but because of a points deduction due to off-field skulduggery (Wigan last year, now Sheffield Wednesday). The EFL needs to get a handle on rogue owners.

Genuinely wild that cronyism can exist in plain sight without consequence.
Look I'm sure it's just a MASSIVE coincidence that 1 in 10 Tory peers are huge donors to the party, giving £50m in total. sure it would have happened anyway. just a pure fluke they were deemed suitable to lord it over us. move on. nothing to see.
