R to @Haggironi: Thanks but I’ve not had it cut in a long time; it’s just growing like triffids!! (I redo the undercut myself with clippers and let the rest go wild - straightened it tonight for a change!)

R to @supertanskiii: ‘Frisked them for, er, glue’ at a guess (worth bearing in mind that she is dyslexic and that can be tricky for live broadcasts and autocues…)

I’m the last person to go to bat for a Tory, but I’m generally fair-minded. And disappointed in plenty of peoples behaviour on here from last night, so I guess y’all can be disappointed in me right back.

R to @BootstrapCook: There’s plenty else out here to focus on, please don’t debase yourselves by going for the cheap laugh at the expense of literally everybody else with a disability.

And I’m aware this won’t make me popular in my home ground, but some things have to transcend partisan jeering.

R to @BootstrapCook: Sincerely, a disabled, experienced broadcaster who is often accused of being drunk (485 days sober) or faking my disabilities by people who want to take a cheap shot or score likes on Twitter.

R to @BootstrapCook: (And a card-carrying member of the Labour Party, proud member of three Unions, rabble-rousing left wing socialist idealist. I’ve not entirely lost my mind, just my temper, and only mildly. As you were!)

R to @SoupTomatoSoup: Same and I think I said something about that then as well…

R to @BootstrapCook: And no, commissioning editors in my inbox, I won’t write a snappy 800 words on this for you. I could, and I want to, but I’m not quite the right person to do it. Consider asking someone ~who is dyslexic~ to write about it, and offer them the same fee as you would me. Cheers!

R to @DeeDocTravel: I could surprise you, there, but it would involve revealing a private conversation from some years back and I’m not prepared to do that. But a text I read daily reminds me that ‘there is a bit of good in the worst of us and a bit of bad in the best of us’. 🙏

R to @ajbloor: (Ten and a half years ago, Andy. Compassion includes a willingness to believe that people have the capacity to grow and learn. Anyway I’m not NDs agent nor PR, I just get a fair bit of abuse online myself and was uncomfortable with what I saw, so said something. Peace. 🙏)

Fancy coming shopping with me for a bit? I’m working on a piece for a national newspaper & looking for 4 households to take part. If you’d like a budget makeover on your weekly supermarket shop, drop me an email at [email protected] with the subject SHOPPING - cheers!

R to @BecksHewer: That’s not what this is, it’s actually the complete opposite. Not sure who the ‘wealthy people’ are you’re referring to but it’s neither me nor the families in my inbox…
