Thank you to everyone who has sent such kind words while I’ve been unwell. I am now out of hospital and continuing my convalescence in Australia until I’m fit to fly home. My undying (literally) thanks to the amazing Australian health service.

Since Russia's invasion, 22,000 Ukrainians have applied for UK visas, but just over 1,000 have been issued. I am ready to house a Ukrainian family, as are many British people.
We want to help, but we need the UK government to take action now, and welcome refugees with open arms.

0.2% of the population voted to make Boris Johnson PM. It’s embarrassing for the Tory party that he was the best they could do, devastating for democracy and horrifying for the country.

The Women's Equality Party has never been more needed, but our survival is under threat.
In 7 years, we have changed laws, influenced government, exposed abuse, and refused to accept a sexist status quo.
Now, WE need your help. This is make or break.

From next year, all English secondary schools will have LGBT-inclusive education.
But the fight isn't over. Local authorities - who oversee education in most schools - need to hear public support.

If it must be sold (which it shouldn’t) the only answer is for all of us to club together and buy it ourselves. Who’s in?
For almost 40 years, Channel 4 has been a launch pad for new ideas and new talent. It’s been able to do that because of its remit and not-for-profit structure and it would be a real shame if that was destroyed by selling off the channel.
