One of absolute privileges of doing this job, is (more often than you'd think) we help get real change for people. Just heard from most lovely woman whose child was severely affected by life in cramped, filthy hostel. Now painting their flat together, starting new job 😢❤️👊

Thinking of my friend Abdul, who'd seen his parents murdered in Darfur & been tortured by Libyan immigration before coming to UK. He is terrified of officials of any kind. @ukhomeoffice made a promo video out of people's terror.

Anyone else finding the Gang of 7 a bit... underwhelming? If you're going to take your ball home from the park because you're losing, at least have another pitch ready to play on? Otherwise looks like you're just doing it to sabotage others' chances

Just off the phone to a sobbing reader with a young child facing an empty Christmas on Universal Credit. This is years now of PIP, bedroom tax, sanctions, UC while architects of this brutal, horrible politics swan about looking forward to another lovely family Christmas

This is some of the really brave & important reporting @BenInLDN has been doing for the BBC in his role as LGBT reporter, a role that has apparently offended some really brave armchair pundit bigots.

"It's Poland's Stonewall" Poland has been called the worst country in the EU for LGBT rights, and this week's election could make things worse. I visited the 'LGBT-Free Zones' to meet the people staying and leaving...

I know we're all really missing our parents & other vulnerable family members, but Stephen Kinnock's dropped some vital supplies to his elderly parents & stopped for a chat, not committed a murder. We're all human beings. End of Week 1 is a bit early for Salem Witch Trials.

It has taken such guts for Kim Leadbeater to stand in this seat. Total respect to her for how she handled this. She's right. The Muslim community of Batley deserve better. And the whole community deserves better than a by-election hijacked by people who care nothing for Batley

Solidarity with Kim. We should be clear who this is - I've interviewed him myself: He's the leader of the Birmingham anti-LGBTQ education protests. He's not even from Batley.

It's hard to express the inhumanity of this moment. This is what happens when you show vile hostility to migrants, leaving human beings with no hope. These people are all someone's children. And in a better world they would be our brothers & sisters too.

At least 27 men, women and children drown in deadliest English Channel tragedy

This is one of the hardest pieces I have ever had to write. Made harder by not having Peter leaning over my shoulder & making me rewrite the intro three times. We are all devastated and will miss him so, so much.

I wrote about how Damilola means 'gift from God', but Dami's gift to us was his father, Richard Taylor - who spent almost 25 years campaigning for all our kids to be safer on the streets. RIP Richard.

What about the audience? Why not get 5 brilliant people from Bolton to do it instead? Far more invigorating for our blocked, broken politics. Haven’t we all heard enough from London this week?

Who is @Mark_Spencer ? Boris Johnson's Chief Whip and what he said on benefit sanctions In this clip Mark Spencer seems to suggest that if only the education system were better, the man highlighted would not have learning disabilities.

When @yanisvaroufakis led the Greek bailout negotiations, he had a secret weapon. His father's years in a concentration camp refusing to comply with his torturers. I spoke to him about how George's memory inspires him to keep fighting for a better world

'My dad was tortured for four years...being told my career was over was a gift'

Greek's former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, who appeared nightly on British television news during 2015, has spoken of his country's turmoil caused by pressure from Brussels
