Suella Braverman is wrong. Multiculturalism isn’t the problem. But we know what the problem is… #bbcqt

Sadly not surprising that @RobertJenrick refused to send anyone on to explain his department’s shambolic response to the building safety crisis on @BBCNewsnight this eve. How do you defend the indefensible?

@BBCnewsnight @LiamSpender @ukcag @RobertJenrick shame you couldn’t find time to contribute to the @BBCnewsnight programme exploring the housing crisis your department is responsible for solving.

@SMcPartland @Royston_Smith @ukcag @EOCS_Official @MPritchardUK Will you please sign on to this amendment that protects leaseholders like me from crippling costs? Supporting this amendment doesn’t preclude you from considering the Governments proposals, if they ever produce them.

Troubled by this new tack, which smacks of the welfare scroungers' narrative. The vast majority of people following the rules. Setting us all off curtain-twitching against each other is a distraction technique. This murderous new peak belongs to the government not the people.

@team_greenhalgh @RobertJenrick forcing tenants to pay thousands on top of mortgages for defects caused by the construction industry is hardly “levelling up”.. #WeWontTakeLoans

“Weapons grade shithousery” is going in my daily vocab

The Prime Minister has basically copied and pasted my blogpost into a thread and passed it off as his own explanation. A blogpost which I had to write to rebut the lies he spent yesterday spouting. This is weapons grade shithousery.

I can’t believe he’s not already resigned. This is assault caught on camera.

BBC exposes how BP promised $10bn to notorious businessman for gas fields in Senegal: ow.ly/VEBh50uvj0j. Global Witness on the corruption risks: “indefensible that a company like BP should be rewarding somebody like Frank Timis”. Timis response: ow.ly/nZ3P50uvj0k.

@Aggerscricket Jonathan, I’m the face of my own Twitter account. I’ll continue to tweet what I like and if folk disagree with me then so be it. Thank you so much for your concern, which, I imagine, wouldn’t be a concern at all if you agreed with me. 👍🏻

Yesterday, I wrote about Aziz Ansari and #MeToo. This morning, I woke up to find a troll had commented on pictures of me and my family on Instagram, telling me to kill myself. I'm posting it to remind you this is considered to be 'part and parcel' of being a woman in journalism.

@martinaustwick What I love about playing with you is you take my riffs and turn them in to actual beautiful songs. I have hundreds of riffs and no idea what to do with them.
