After two days I’ll never forget I just want to say thank you for all of the touching messages of support, not just from colleagues and friends, but also from countless @LBC listeners and people who’ve heard my story. Your words mean more than you know and I’ve read every one. Thank you to my amazing team @LBC and @global. They could not be more supportive and I’m so grateful. I’m so lucky to have had on air backing from @NickFerrariLBC, @mrjamesob, @ShelaghFogarty, @TomSwarbrick1 and @IainDale, plus amazing behind the scenes support at every level.

Priti Patel accused of doing the same when she was Home Sec and “they saw this coming”. @LBC
