Job news: I'm leaving the
@DailyMirror
after 12-and-a-bit amazing years.
Having grown up as a Mirror reader, it was a lifelong dream to work here. Thanks to my brilliant colleagues it's never felt like a job, more like a privilege.

A thoroughly deserved relegation for Hull City almost confirmed. Atrocious owners, fanbase driven away, terrible management and a squad with neither the quality nor passion.
We’ve had a fantastic few decades, but boy, this is about as rotten as we’ve been in my lifetime.

Cancelling the referendum result seems to be just as extreme a position as the Tories and their no-deal Brexit. A second referendum (with a more specific question) is at least a democratic exercise.

Reasons why it's dinner/tea not lunch/dinner...

Can I respectfully suggest you think carefully before throwing claims like this around. People disagreeing you doesn’t equal abuse, and casually throwing around accusations like that helps no one. And it’s £8/£6/£5 increase on your usual prices, not £2.

Last week the NHS saved my dad's life. I'm sure most families will have their own stories like this. Give them a pay rise after this of all years.
Last week at this exact time I had a life-threatening emergency (a cardiac tamponade). A cardiologist and highly-skilled NHS team saved my life. I’m now absolutely fine and getting on with life.
The 1% pay proposal is an insult after what NHS staff have done this past year.

Going back to this ‘revoke a50’ pledge. If you got 326 seats with say 40% of votes, and a ‘no-deal’ party got 324 seats, you’d cancel Brexit? Do you think that’s democratic? And would it end the EU divisions or make them many, many times worse?
