18 hours of waiting outside and inside the stadium to get the up close of the new “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me” dress at N1 Milan 😮💨 #MilanTSTheErasTour @taylornation13

No rest until 93% of the cabinet went to a state school (🫡 @93percentclub). But today is a very very good day for social mobility. Kids in state schools can draw a line from their classroom to the cabinet room. That’s good for them - and it’s brilliant for Britain.

Threw on a comfy t-shirt to vote this morning, only to get to my polling station and realise it was in a primary school 😃 #GeneralElection24

If someone could have told this girl, how far she’d come and how much her upbringing and background would make her better at every single job she’s ever had… I’m one of the @93percentclub who attended state school and on social mobility day, and every day, I’m #stateschoolproud

On #SocialMobilityAwarenessDay, I went #StateSchoolProud. I ended up being the first in my family to go to university and I’m now making a change in the charity sector. I would’ve never thought I’d end up where I am but I’m forever grateful for the chances to succeed in life.

I am also #StateSchoolProud. And as a qualified teacher I was always told (by fellow teachers) that the best teachers are in state schools. Here I am in my school uniform with my weaponised collar. @93percentclub
I am #StateSchoolProud, one of the 93 % club. All children deserve equity of educational opportunity which means more support for those who need it not just those who can buy it. Below in my first school photo. I had no idea where life was going to take me. @93percentclub

I'm #StateSchoolProud I went to state schools until I was 18, then went on to get a history degree and become a solicitor. Both my parents had to leave school at 14. I was given opportunities they couldn't have dreamed of

Alastair Campbell tells @mattfrei that all the presenters who have pulled out of Match of the Day and Football Focus in solidarity with Gary Lineker have done 'exactly the right thing in refusing to be bystanders to something that's so wrong'. @campbellclaret

Alastair Campbell is absolutely smashing the shit out of this tonight. The corruption of Sharp and Johnson needs to be pointed out on national TV, but the fact he said it live on BBC News after they tried to undermine his viewpoint, is delicious. Legend.

Worth noting that this is, of course, another almighty mess that leads directly to Boris Johnson and his utter unfitness for office. It’s impossible not to see his elevation of the obviously unsuitable Richard Sharp to BBC chairman as his reward for facilitating an enormous loan.
