Horrendous scenes from the US. These are not ‘protestors’ - this a direct attack on democracy and legislators carrying out the will of the American people.

If these rioters were all or even mostly Black and brown people, we all know what we would be seeing right now. We have seen it. That, as much as any part of of this, makes me sick.

Gr8 to get the space on @Channel4News for @LennyHenry & I to talk with @cathynewman about media diversity, especially on such a busy news day - thank you! Amount of DMs following the piece from people working in the media with horror stories show theres still so much work to do!

Watching coverage from #Capitol Hill. These are the people we want to cosy up to now we've ditched our #EU friends
Must be heartening to have a wise leader

This is very good from Angela #Merkel: "Freedom doesn't mean everyone doing what they want. Freedom now means responsibility....The pandemic makes it clearer than ever: we are part of a whole." #Leadership

Spot on @leedsjourno It leaves you wondering otherwise why he can't have a news conference on time what with his having been so well on top of all this.

Can't help feeling Number 10 is listening to all the analysis on news outlets filling time waiting for Johnson's announcement trying to get some idea of what to say. Like doing your homework on the bus.

Still a long way to go but have just sent my supervisor the first complete draft of my PhD by practice. Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported me so far. Now the light at the end of the tunnel looks less like something coming to mow me down.

I'm sick and tired of the barrage of criticism and blatant racism which is being leveled at Meghan & Harry. We MUST refuse to read these papers, watch these shows etc. we are only fueling their figures. 😡
