Air quality in London this evening is actively hazardous to health and nobody seems to be talking about it. Time to find those N95 masks in the back of the cupboard if you can't stay indoors.

This is the right decision. But why did it take so long?
This afternoon I have written to the Chief Executive of @HackneyCouncil to tender my resignation, which has been accepted, please find a copy of that letter attached to this tweet/post.

This morning, @GrahamSmith_ and 5 members of our team were arrested. Hundreds of placards were seized. Is this democracy? #NotMyKing #Coronation

The police have arrested what appear to be peaceful republican protesters in Trafalgar Square. It’s in everybody’s interests, especially the Met’s, that they explain exactly why as soon as possible. No matter what you think about monarchy, this is a deeply disturbing moment.

I got a bit distracted trying to find the roundest bird that @fieldpalaeo has photographed. This golden crowned Kinglet is the winner. 10/10, absolutely perfect, no notes. https://t.co/EEORzGHvB3

There's not being a fan of the Royals (an understandable position), then there's actively celebrating the death of an elderly woman. The second one makes you a very unsavoury person. She was an icon. Undeniably. And as someone who isn’t a royalist, I for one will mourn her loss.

The latest revelations about Boris Johnson will likely surprise no one. He must leave office straight away. He is not fit to govern, he never was.

If the Prime Minister emerges from this morning's Cobra meeting with any balls, he will announce the start of the total dismantlement of Russian oligarchic involvement in Britain's social, cultural, and financial sectors.

When I was writing my article last week, I was told those selected for testing - rather than isolation - were chosen at random. We're meant to believe Boris and Rishi were both "randomly" chosen. They think we're idiots.

The reason Matt Hancock should resign is that he is a terrible Health Secretary, not because of his private life. From the PPE scandal, the crisis in our care service and the unbelievably poor test and trace system, he has utterly failed.
