Few have fought as epic battles in the Labour party as Margaret Hodge. She tells me about taking on the BNP, antisemitism, dodgy tech giants – and why she sees herself as a battleaxe https://t.co/pzgK6YiLV9 617 views · 2 likes · 2 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

I meet the amazing Mr T, who's promoting the new Netflix doc about him (Well, maybe promoting isn't quite the right word) https://t.co/uv933iBQn3 3.4K views · 38 likes · 4 reposts · 6 replies Open on X →

@shattenstone I thoroughly enjoyed this. It was enlightening, moving & a little sad all at once. As Mary said, no one at 19 would know what they were stepping into & people need to remember that for her. Also, I’m in the Freddie Tribute photo you used which blew my mind. So thank 170 views · 3 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

@shattenstone Such a great feature. Really surprising & actually quite, sort of, perplexing. A really good read 🙌 537 views · 3 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

@shattenstone You've done it again Simon - probably the best interview iv read all year. Absolutely fascinating- moving and insightful. Mary comes across as the loveliest person and has clearly been a wonderful mother. I know I will keep sharing and thinking about this.

I found the way Mary Austin talked to me about Freddie Mercury and his impact on her life incredibly moving – and surprising. https://t.co/cAY3qrNjA3 49.2K views · 130 likes · 29 reposts · 11 replies Open on X →

I can't think of anyone as wonderful in so many ways as Dolly – singer, songwriter, actor, raconteur, entrepreneur, philanthropist, educator, groundbreaker extraordinaire. And she went through life without a stain. Who does that? And who is EVERYONE'S hero? Love you Dolly 4.5K views · 139 likes · 17 reposts · 4 replies Open on X →
