To reiterate: all of them are quite astonishing, of course, but @mrjoemcfadden is the only one who’s not had formal training or been born to it. He’s Mr Bootstraps. And he deserves the votes. So VOTE for Joe McFadden. #StrictlyComeDancing2017

Hey @metpoliceuk , your officers did a fabulous job under very difficult, risky circumstances during the peak(s) of the pandemic. Please investigate what happened at No.10 because the law should apply without fear or favour.

Officers have shut down a wedding where 40 people were in attendance. Holding large gatherings could be the difference between life and death for someone else. #London is in Tier 3. You must not mix inside with anyone, who is not in your household or support bubble.
