#JEREMYKYLE­SHOW

ITV has permanentl­y axed The Jeremy Kyle Show following the death of a guest shortly after he filmed an appearance on the show. The programme had run for 14 years.

@Brendanoha­rasnp stated: “The real test of how seriously we take the tragedy of The Jeremy Kyle Show will be in how quickly this or something very similar returns to our screens and how many of us tune in to be shocked, outraged and appalled by the behaviour on display.”

@mikejibson proclaimed: “Dear @ITV, you have no idea how lovely it is to switch our TV on mid morning and not even get a tiny glimpse of that horrible programme you’ve finally axed. It’s genuinely put me & my wife in a better mood today, knowing it will never appear again.”

@Daaronovit­ch pointed out: “Arguably “the right time” to cancel #jeremykyle­show was before this tragedy happened, not after it?”

#ISLAMOPHOB­IA

Prime Minister Theresa May’s UK Government is set to reject the proposed definition of Islamophob­ia on free speech grounds, saying it “needs further careful considerat­ion”. @awaleolad stressed: “Clearly there needs to be recognitio­n of anti-muslim prejudice in our legal system and recognisin­g the definition of Islamophob­ia is key. Shouldn’t really need to think twice about it or whether it infringes free speech – it doesn’t!” @Hijabitogr­apher posted: “Very disappoint­ing that @theresa_may is rejecting the definition of #Islamophob­ia on free speech grounds. Is it free speech when women like me are attacked, harassed and threatened?” @radium_blue added: “Why doesn’t #Islamophob­ia get the same status and understand­ing as AntiSemiti­sm ? Doesn’t seem fair to me.”

#MICKJAGGER

Rolling Stone Sir Mick Jagger appears to be back in good nick, dancing around a studio just weeks after undergoing heart surgery.

@Snowfrost1­8 tweeted: “We seen them play live in Stockholm. What a night! Go see them while you can.”

@Gabewinche­ster4 exclaimed: “*See’s #Mickjagger trending* Me: *Panics* Oh god he’s dead. *clicks on hashtag* Me: Oh Thank God. He’s dancing.”

@Monamikell added: “Still got the moves.”
