Johnson has told friends that he needs to earn about £300,000 a year — twice his salary — to keep his head above water, while a former No 10 insider said it was “received wisdom” that he is permanently broke.

I wish #YoungerMe knew, when I was struggling to accept my sexuality, that 10 years later I'd be the gay older brother to two queer siblings, and son to two proud straight allies. Thanks to the amazing work of @JustLikeUsUK more and more kids don't have to go through the same.

Let’s be clear: Piers Morgan resigning doesn’t absolve ITV of its culpability. This was a long time coming and entirely preventable, and yet their biggest on-air talent disbelieved a woman’s mental health issues, on IWD, during their corporate MH campaign.
