We need to get away from this weird attitude that the country's sole purpose is to serve the needs of the NHS. It's a poorly performing health service, not a religion. Instead of this fawning nonsense, we need a serious debate about how healthcare is delivered in our country.

I have decided to declare Friday, 27 October, a day of fasting, penance and prayer for #peace. I invite the various Christian confessions, members of other religious, and all who hold the cause of peace in the world at heart to participate.

Bloody hell. Women play football, prove they’re actually good at it, now they have to argue if someone kissed them when it was caught on camera with loads of witnesses. It’s EXHAUSTING

In 2011, Jeremy Clarkson called for striking workers to be "shot in front of their families". He continued to present Top Gear for another four years. After criticising plans to criminalise asylum seekers, Gary Linekar has lasted three days.

As a minister & human being, I must speak out against the government’s policies. Refugees & asylum seekers need to be welcomed & offered hospitality. “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”

250 yrs ago we chose to transport people to Australia because they were vulnerable enough to steal a loaf of bread. Today our government wants to deport others to Rwanda because they are vulnerable enough to seek safety on our shores. Have we learned nothing?

I honestly can’t quite believe the government have put this out - how do they think people who need access to the UK’s modern slavery support enter the country if not illegally?!

To whomever it may concern: after the Farah story, please don’t start saying ‘think how many other future heroes we might be deporting to Rwanda’. This policy isn’t disgusting because they may be exceptional people. It’s disgusting because they’re people.
