I get diversity, and I accept fully - indeed, believe - that there is a huge rebalancing of opportunity needed.

But surely coloured people pretending to be famous Austrian composers is demeaning and anti-diversity.

This toff gets away with murder. All he does is his do up own massive garden, talks about what he’s doing in it and then gets paid for it. I bet the BBC even buy his plant pots. #montydon

According to Reuters, there have been no bombings at all. Three Palestinians have been shot after approaching the withdrawn troops. That is awful, but at this time of delicate negotiations to preserve the peace, Hyperbole has no place in the conversation.

Shocking. That will hit us badly. And we're not that well off. In fact, in relative terms, we're below the poverty line.

#NUFC Big Nick at it again, and the Guardian doesn't spare the other team criticism for spending £116m on Wirz.

The entire UK mass media is full of stories about Israeli reunions after people spent 2 years as hostages. And that's wonderful.
But why so little mention of the more than 1,000 Palestinians and their reunions after years in jail FOR NO REASON, after NO CHARGES?

@tim-spector.bsky.social Tell me, "health expert". What does your "not from rubbish supermarkets" shop cost?

Too much, I am certain, for the huddled masses.

They probably don't earn in a week what you were paid for your smug, self-praising piece in the Telegraph. archive.ph/oeGXY

Sickening. While the #ceasefire is great news, are we all meant to give standing ovations to the men and women who brought Genocide to #Gaza. I THINK NOT!!!

Politicians assume that, because they are politicians:

1) We MUST listen to all they say;
2) They know better than any non-politician;
3) They have a right to respect and subservience.

They are wrong on all three.

Add your own.
