Tory MPs, columnists, journalists and commentators absolutely lining up to try to discredit me - almost like they’re frightened of engaging with the actual issues and would rather try to take down the person highlighting them. Interesting how that happens. Keep trying, sunshines.

The PM now has no defence. When he told Parliament that all the rules were followed, he was lying. He hadn’t followed the rules himself and he knew that. He has been fined. Government requires moral authority. He must resign now.

Why we can't stop saying gay, a story
On the first day of my senior year of high school, a new boy showed up in my AP English class.
He had transferred from a prestigious private school to my public school, and I was confused.

In what world is it down to me, a poverty + trauma survivor, to go on national TV and tell a desperate nation ‘I’m sorry there’s not much else you can possibly do.’ Why is it me + Martin Lewis, not Boris + Rishi, left to answer the awful calls from frightened starving citizens?🤬

I used to be a priest in the Church of England, and youth chaplain for the diocese of Peterborough. I was going through my own spiritual journey, understanding or coming to terms with my sexuality, but what really frightened me was when I saw Christians, priests, pastors

Six months ago, I set out to find out how far I could get in 24 hours by bus from London #bus24. Today - the obvious sequel: #train24. What is the furthest point I can get from St Pancras in 24 hours? I think I know on paper, but there’s some tight connections ahead…
