Perhaps one news editor will have the wit to understand that dedicated royal correspondents are the very last people who should be reporting on the Meghan & Harry documentaries. It's like asking the accused to report on their own trial.

‘We have opted out of being a global rule maker,’ is such a damning indictment of all the clowns who insisted not only that the opposite would happen but also that ‘everybody knew exactly what they were voting for.’ And they’re still spouting their guff & writing their columns. twitter.com/pmdfoster/stat…

They are clearly blissfully happy together, a fact that embittered purveyors of bile find particularly galling. But it’s the fact that he’d rather be her husband than perched near the top of our ludicrous class system that really boils the piss of professional forelock-tuggers.

Curtsying is objectively ridiculous and, to anybody raised in a country where epic unearned privilege is not baked in to every level of society, presumably hilarious. The inability to see this is, when you think about, irrefutable proof of the point.

Richard in Chelmsford. I don't say this lightly but it's very, very special. This is why all the excellent parodists - up to & including Colin in Portsmouth - will never quite match the magic of a real, live call from an actual person. twitter.com/LBC/status/160…

Absolutely brilliant journalism from @david_conn & @PaulLewis. This is a scandal of staggering proportions. twitter.com/david_conn/sta…

When the founder of Wikipedia says something like this, the rest of us should:
1) Pay attention.
2) Donate to a rare source of genuine information that, almost uniquely these days, is not promoting the prejudices, obsessions & bigotries of its billionaire owner. twitter.com/jimmy_wales/st…

The more desperate you are for adulation the less you care about where it comes from. Doesn't matter how rich you are. The horror of realising that epic wealth hasn't diluted the aching need for approval must be huge. There's no substitute for caring for your injured inner child. twitter.com/DrMatthewSweet…

No relationship's guaranteed to thrive, but it's pretty obvious that much of the hatred aimed at Harry & Meghan springs from the fact that they love each other so much. You could put as much effort into trying to be lovable as you do into hating. But you wouldn't get paid for it.

Rishi Sunak, meanwhile, demonises nurses as the enemies of 'hard-working people', actively seeks strikes in the hope of scoring cheap political points & relies on right-wing Enlgish media to misreport everything.

You won by doubling down on the disgusting lies you'd told to win the referendum & hitching yourself once more to the corrupt coat-tails of Boris Johnson. And then you got found out. Go & have a lie down. twitter.com/Dominic2306/st…

@mrjamesob
Once again, it’s absolutely ridiculous for royal correspondents who are the focus of Harry & Meghan’s criticism to be providing the coverage of Harry & Meghan’s criticism of royal correspondents. Like asking the accused to provide objective coverage of their own trial.

One horror of all Tory attempts to ‘clamp down’ on immigration is that the pit into which they throw all the red meat is bottomless. Whatever they do & however vile they are, racist demagogues will always demand more. Because racism is fundamentally irrational & deeply dishonest.

Is there a person alive who thinks the UK would be in lockdown if Keir Starmer was Prime Minister? Except Jonathan Gullis maybe. Such an odd gambit from Sunak.

Someone needs to take Lindsay Hoyle to one side and tell him that he's really not funny.

This is an unbelievably appalling intervention from Braverman, full of lies & misinformation about 'safe & legal routes' & built upon the premise that she can somehow construct a more effective 'deterrent' to small boat crossings than the fear of death.
