Another terrific photo. You can’t fake that kind of chemistry. They both look genuinely happy & it’s rather lovely.

I’m rather proud to have been part of what was a bloody brilliant episode of @TheNewsQuiz which had the CHEEK to make fun of the ruling party. Can you imagine that?! Time to ban all comedy which isn’t nice about the government of 13 years. You can catch it on BBC Sounds!

#KayBurley : Is the BBC biased? Huw Merriman: I was listening to the news quiz on Radio 4... & for 10 minutes there was a diatribe against Conservatives KB: You understand that a news quiz is comedy & nothing to do with actual news?

Today’s #marr is really ramming home how terrifying geo-politics are right now. China. Russia. America. We’ve been so inward looking with our own narrow political arguments, this is a pretty grim wake up call about the future. Our next chapter is not going to be easy.

This astonishing optic is going to become a modern classic. Especially as we approach the next general election.

Anti-Semitic cranks attacking @jessphillips & threatening to leave Labour if she wins is brilliant. Thank God decent people like her stayed to fight for the soul of the party. This is now a proper battle with good people putting themselves forward to break from the past.

Thanks for all the nice messages about @bbcquestiontime last night 🙏🏽 Some very distressing topics. Feels like British politics has sunk to a new low this week. But… was heartening to see that the audience know right from wrong, understand racism & are not buying the BS.

Tories are cheering a man talking about shooting a black woman. This is so depressing. Politics at its worst. Why didn’t Sunak take the opportunity to apologise to Diane Abbott on behalf of the Tory party?

Shout out to all my sisters of colour who have been summoned on national broadcast to be told there’s no racism & it’s all in our heads & then have to deal with the fallout here. Solidarity with @afuahirsch @SholaMos1 @shaistaAziz @AGlasgowGirl & a big thanks to @KateWilliamsme

I’ve been at the funeral of Jack Dromey & am now watching this absolute farce in parliament. This is a real low point in modern British political history. This spectacle from the PM genuinely shames our country & democracy.

Corbyn, Johnson & Truss - all failed leaders taking to airwaves with no self-awareness, a huge victim complex & to undermine the current leader who they all despise. They should do a podcast.

“History will judge us all” Erm no... history will judge the woman who could have built bridges but disappeared into a bunker with Nick Timothy, lost her majority, won’t compromise & has COMPLETELY arsed this up to appease the ERG.

Theresa May has written to her “colleagues” ie all Tory MPs begging them to put “sacrifice” their own personal preferences in the national interest: “History will judge us all.”

The number of lefty men on my time line criticising Swinson about austerity. I get it. But are you always going to remain stuck in the past when it suits you? Lads, we still don’t have a proper manifesto position on Brexit which will make austerity look like a walk in the park.
