The BBC should not expect to control the views of its non news freelancers on other platforms. It has got itself into a mess. And as before, It will likely do so again while the Govt of the day oversees the licence fee and / or, board appointments. But...

I applaud @GaryLineker for his compassion and support for vulnerable people, particularly refugees. Thank you, Gary.

Funny how, for many Tory MPs, Sue Gray’s political links make her report and investigation partial and unreliable; while Richard Sharp’s make him a suitable man to uphold the independence of the BBC.

Wonder if Stella Kyriakides would have accepted the 'logic of first come first served' if the EU had managed to get its act together earlier? This really isn't a good look.

Let me see if I’ve got this right. We should not close down hospitality because it’s bad for the economy. But we should embrace no deal because we have a bright future. Hmm... wonder what the Home Sec thinks about losing access to all those databases

Events in the USA so reminiscent of Brexit. The pity is that we are not able to change our mind

A harbinger of the new dispensation. The UK will not be the first in line. Makes a deal with the EU all the more important
Full Statement from Irish leader - “This is a particularly special day for the people of County Louth and of County Mayo who count President-elect Biden among their own.” #Election2020
If you disagree with her just say so. Let’s leave her appearance out of it shall we?
Judging by her size I can't think she's ever gone short of a good meal. What an appalling woman.

Perhaps but let’s not exaggerate. It seems to me that the Labour front bench is doing pretty well. Starmer has deftly exposed the government’s weaknesses
There is something frankly disgusting in watching the in-fighting within Labour after it's worst general election defeat since the 1930s and at a time when the country is governed by a clique of hard-Right clowns. What is wrong with these people? #DianeAbbott @UKLabour
Is she saying that he should still be campaigning to remain?!

Boris Johnson’s inability to deal with the Covid crisis is plain for all to see. If he also fails to strike a deal with the EU we will not profit mightily but be plunged into an even greater crisis. Resignation on the cards?

Yes, that bizarre ritual of racking your brains as a child for some trivial misdemeanour that would give you something to confess...

Is this person advocating a more robust response by the EU to global security crises?
EU didn’t dodge, foreign policy wasn’t in remit of EU - very much in MSs’ competence. Only changed with Treaty of Lisbon from 2009
Leavers will be more than happy to show their papers at the Kent border. It’s taking back control, innit?

This is all taking us to a very dark place. Who in their right minds would trust Johnson with their human rights? He is the little boy throwing a tantrum when told he can’t always have his way
The European Convention on Human Rights has nothing to do with the EU - we mostly wrote it The European Court of Human Rights has nothing to do with the EU either The Human Rights Act is OUR Parliament’s law & protects OUR citizens Don’t let the Govt erode YOUR rights

First they came for the European Union. Then they came for the European Convention on Human Rights. This was always a question on when, not if. The logical endpoint of this initiative is withdrawal from the ECHR.

First he tested the water by proroguing Parliament. The cognoscenti protested but most people had other things to worry about. Then he broke the law in a specific and ltd way and got his cronies to back him. Emboldened, he is unlikely to stop there...
Theresa May had a point when she said that no PM could accept customs checks within the U.K. Johnson accepted it so as to lever May out of power and win an election. Now he’s trying to demagogue his way out of a trap created by his own dishonesty
