I hate it when people say Muslims can't concentrate whilst fasting due to hunger. That's samosa ridiculous. My level of attention is pavlova very high all the tiramisu time. So keep your bigoted prejudices to yourself cupcake brownie ice cream swiss roll.

every now and then I remember I became more well-known for receiving racist insults than for being on GBBO lol

Not only was I called a bomber and accused of ruining the country for being Asian, when I challenged the Karen, the driver threatened to throw ME off the @nxwestmidlands bus. In a packed bus, no one said a thing 🥰

Bring Shamima Begum home. She's British. She needs to be tried as a Brit. I don't care how unpopular this argument is - it's the right one 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=RnYpLYGd…

Ive written a YA/teen book & Ive made sure Brown voices, queer voices & other marginalised voices are heard in it. Not only is it an important book (less than 1% YA books written by brown men) its also a DAMN GOOD BOOK. It's now out on sub so PLZ SAY A PRAYER IT GETS PICKED UP!

I lasted about as long on Great British Bake Off as Liz Truss did as Prime Minister. I came 9th.

We will never see a Queen of England in our lifetimes again. I'm glad I got to meet her in mine.

The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.

Just a casual reminder that it's very possible to be vehemently opposed to the monarchy, and still behave like a decent human being. That's all. #QueenElizabeth

Listen scum bag most who work from home watch more TV than work. There are a few exceptions but the majority are lazy gits. When some of my companies recruit the first question asked by some applicants is "can I work from home" . They are shown the door .

Things have been hectic so I feel like I haven’t been shouting about the fact I have a book coming out NEXT WEEK???? (Ok so I myself only realised how soon it was yesterday) So of course, I will now spam you with WHY IS NOBODY LAUGHING? trivia for a whole week

I’m putting this out there, I want a very brilliant and hungry writing partner for my incredible drama. Because of the subject matter I’d prefer it was a woman and someone who has knowledge of power dynamics within some Asian families. Personal experience is key. You there 👀

The tweet I never wanted to write. The time has come to say goodbye. 5 years to prepare, doesn’t make it any easy. I’m under hospice at home care, & I’m spending my time surrounded by my family. Please buy me a 🍷 to see me out and raise vitial funds. bowelbabe.org/ ❤️

I wonder if Instagram influencers are already typing up a motivational quote about how Instagram being down has helped them realise what's important in life, whilst simultaneously choosing that perfect looking-out-on-sunset-in-bikini pic to match.

The truth is, none of this is going to make any difference. Matt Hancock and the rest of the cabinet could be caught having an orgy with monks and the Tories would STILL be as popular as they are. None of this matters until we accept our democracy is broken.
