Can’t help thinking that if I’d ripped off the government for £122m I’d be in jail rather than my limited company getting fined. Who yer know innit. #Slime

Having such a good time in Seattle. An amazing cool city, and a very strong political stance.

My wife was lecturing today at a nurses conference. It was exactly 34 years to the day that she had her first lecture as a student…in the same lecture theatre. And who was in the lecture theatre? My daughter, who is starting her nurse job this week. Circle of life

Don’t like to be negative on players but I just don’t see what Whittaker brings to the team. That’s 4 and a half matches in and just don’t see it, especially when we have such good players on the bench #boro

Dragon House in York was defaced with racist graffiti last week, targeting a family who’ve been part of their community for over ten years. One window cleaner from Crystal Clean Services stepped up to clear the abuse.

Great transfer window for #boro but without a doubt, keeping Hackney was the most important action taken. I’m more and more optimistic this is our year!

This is where the empty headed Flag shagging leads. Race hate.
I feel truly heartbroken today. My Chinese takeaway,
which has been serving this community for more than
10 years, was vandalized with hateful graffiti telling us
to "go home."
This is not just paint on the wall - it is blatant
discrimination, and it hurts deeply
The police are already following up on this incident. If
anyone has seen anything or knows who did this,
please contact us
We work hard every day to serve our customers with
love and dedication. I believe our community is
stronger than hate, and 1 hope everyone will stand
together against this kind of behaviour.

Israel bombed a hospital. Rescue workers and reporters rushed to recover the dead and the wounded. Israel bombed the hospital again. Live on TV. Read that again. Our government’s legacy will be its complicity in crimes against humanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

We have never had a 'politician' like Nigel Farage before, who will sit there every day encouraging racism, violence and riots. For this reason alone any sane and decent person should never vote for such a disgusting scumbag.
