#ANNEROBINS­ON

After a year, Anne Robinson is stepping down as host of Channel 4 quiz Countdown.

@_busyguy replied: “I'd sign up for the job primarily to work with Rachel Riley.”

@vicblazey wrote: “Thank god I can start watching #countdown again now #Annerobins­on is leaving. She wasn't the right fit in my opinion.”

@Joethetoad­2 said: “Shouldn't they bring back @carolvorde­rs as host of Countdown."

@hilarymatc­hel tweeted: “Never been much of an #Annerobins­on fan, but I couldn't agree more – ‘I hope I've encouraged TV bosses to realise that not all women at the wrong end of their 70s are in care homes playing bingo and watching conjuring tricks’.”

@gmacespana wrote: “Best news I've heard in ages. Miserable, rude, vindictive Anne is leaving #Countdown and not before time. Hopefully I can start to enjoy watching it again."

@justinandk­imsma said: “I didn't take to #annerobins­on at first as #countdown host, but I've grown to like her in the role and I'm disappoint­ed that she's leaving.”

#USABORTION

Millions of women across the US could soon lose their legal right to abortion, according to a leaked Supreme Court document.

@Dramirkhan­gp wrote: “Women decide what is best for them, their bodies, their lives. It’s nobody else’s business."

@shannonrwa­tts wrote: “A reminder that the same lawmakers who say gun laws won't stop gun violence believe abortion laws will stop abortion.”

@Malyndahal­e tweeted: “If you think they won’t come for same sex marriage and interracia­l marriage next you aren’t paying attention.”

@Ahmedbaba added: “This #Roevwade news dropping during this Gilded Age themed Met Gala is pretty dystopian.”

@Alisonfsch­warz replied: “It’s shameful how much power this stacked right wing Supreme Court has. Can’t believe this threat to women’s reproducti­ve rights is now so real.”

@wulfapex wrote: “Abortion is simply killing. Government can assist with raising the baby, there are adoption options, even if you were raped it is wrong to kill the baby that had no chance at life… give them to a different home that will love them.”
