I’ve just helped a woman on her own with a suspiciously heavy pram down two flights of stairs at Liverpool st station. When I got to the bottom I saw there was two very capable of walking dogs in it and no child.

A week before the planned protest GB News presenter Emily Carver spends a day getting a taste of the hard work put in by Britain’s farming community. All day on GB News.
Up before the sun this morning! At a beautiful farm in Devon for @GBNews. How hard can this farming malarkey be? Think I’m about to find out…😅

Privileged to have BBC Breakfast’s @sallynugent write movingly today for the Sunday Express about her bond with Rob Burrow and his family as he battles MND. Also there’s hope the campaign to get £50m for an MND research institute is making @sajidjavid sit up and listen.
