I idolised Sean as a comic long before I became a comedian myself and ten years working alongside him didn’t diminish that in the least. An incredible comic brain and a truly unique voice.

- Watching Sean's last ep of Countdown I can see how upset I was knowing he was ill and how much that affected my performance, while Sean himself continued to be effortlessly hilarious. A true comic to the end. That's why he's trending on twitter and why he's so missed.
- Replying to @RonJichardsonI’m devastated for his family today and sad for comedy that we have lost one of the very best. Undisputed, undefeated, carrot in a box champion. I will miss him.
- The threat of a yellow card doesn’t stop players diving, fouling or abusing referees but it has stopped them showing solidarity with those who are threatened with death for being in love. What an absolute fucking farce.
- Very odd that the only time we ever saw him look happy in his job was at the Queen’s funeral.
- Massive thanks to everyone who voted for Cats Does Countdown at the Comedy Awards. That one is for Sean, without whom the show would have had a fraction of the comedy it had and much more maths.
- Getting a little compliment like this, albeit from a train station platform information sign, can really give a boost to your day. Thanks Preston, I do what I can with what I have.
- The crippling fear of those white men that equality for all means less for them is a blatant confession that the current system is unfair. They’ve demonstrated perfectly why we need drastic change and how important it is to reject the world they want to live in.
- What a treat and a privilege that was to watch. Thank goodness for sport in a messed up world and thank goodness for Emma Raducanu. Absolutely superb.
- You’ve probably seen this in the news but today is set to be a record breaking day. I’m planning to set a world record for most loads of washing dried outside in Britain. Record is currently two, I’m going for FOUR. Wish me luck and a slight breeze.
- I know SHE wants to eat HIM, but to be clear, the red M&M believes he’s going to have full sex with the woman while the yellow one watches from the wardrobe?
- I can’t bring myself to believe that this has just happened, my heart is pounding. I’m not going to be able to stop thinking about this. Can it be proven once and for all that he said it so I can work out what to do next?Tulip Sadiq asks the prime minister about the welfare of 200 unaccompanied migrant children who’ve gone missing. Tory MP Jonathan Gullis heckles ‘well they shouldn’t have come here illegally’. Just when you think you’ve heard it all, the Tory Party find a new low #PMQs
- You know Christmas is on the way when any song you ever loved morphs into a breathy, slow piano sack of shit to make consumerism seem cute.
- A truly appalling Home Secretary. A government who genuinely do not believe they are responsible for a situation in which 4/10 children in a region are born into poverty. Please take this to the ballot and join me in hoping this woman is searching for employment on Dec 13th.Home Secretary Priti Patel tells @NinaWarhurst that high levels of poverty can't be blamed solely on the government. She was visiting Barrow-in-Furness where, according to @CumbriaCC , central wards of the town are some of the most deprived in the country.
