It’s 2 years since we first went into lockdown and I don’t know about you guys but the person I was when I went into lockdown is completely different to the person I am now. The events that have happened since March 2020 have been a lot on my mental health but we keep going

Hi @thewhitmore as presenter of #LoveIsland , you have a duty of care for the contestants. When the male-guests on AfterSun alluded to Ekin-Su ‘doing bits’ with George, you should have shut it down and not encouraged further speculation

@edenofnubian Exactly my thoughts. What have they personally done? Because a lot of their work is lead by other people and their name is just slapped on it. How much do they engage with the local community in the City of Westminster?

The casting of Love Island USA is perfect. All of them are "regular" people. There's a waitress, delivery man, PT and a nurse, just to name a few. You can tell they aren't there for the deals so they're actually getting to know people and the girls are girls girls

There is so much misinformation about immigration going around. An immigrant has no recourse to public funds until you have indefinite leave to remain. The process of obtaining ILR, and citizenship thereafter, takes several years and is expensive with fees rising yearly.

Citizenship-stripping is among the most extreme powers available to Gov. Making someone stateless is against international law. Gov say Shamima Begum is eligible for Bangladeshi citizenship. She was born in UK and has never held a Bangladeshi passport.
