Julia, good evening! 👋🏾 I have happened to have read about monkeypox myself. I don’t think you understand what my tweet is ‘implying’, so please don’t assume that you do. Always happy to chat x 🙂

"Monkeypox is a viral disease that occurs mostly in central and western Africa" - US CDC. The vast majority of the population of that region have black skin. Hence most photos of monkeypox are on black skin. That's not racism, as this tweet implies, it's just reality.

Well I won the @MirrorPolitics sweepstake 😆 148 Tory MPs do not have confidence in Boris Johnson’s leadership That’s 41.2% of Tory MPs having *no confidence* in the PM Very peak times for Boris Johnson 💀

Boris Johnson wins no confidence vote and will cling on as Prime Minister

The Tory leader survived a vote of no confidence from his own MPs in a day of high drama at Westminster - but the echoes will ricochet for months after a string of high-profile Conservatives blasted...

Labour are pretty confident of getting a 8-9% swing in Wakefield this morning.. …Possibly reaching 10% 👀 A source tells me ultimately a win is a win, but such a swing would really show Brits are ready to give Labour a chance
