@ChrisMasonBBC Just heard you say on Radio 4 that KS 'reminds us that there is a human at the centre of all this.' YOU might have done well to think about that long before this; I've certainly thought it of your reporting for weeks.

@thatginamiller So where is the money for defence to come from? It's easy to be principled when you don't have to raise the money, just spend it.

@jk_rowling Bit of a reverse Bumble there? "If the law supposes that then the law is an ass." From Oliver Twist...

#BBCLauraK Seriously? No questions about Farage's breathtaking bungs and associated lies? Very gentle probing about Jenrick being referred to THE POLICE? Please, if you're going to insist on getting Reform in so often, challenge them! Better still, give the show to Darbyshire.

@England Am I ready? No. Your app saw to that. Crashing with too many requests. Amateur hour.

@GeoffNorcott It used to be excellent. Gone a long way downhill. Was there on Monday and the chicken wrap and the staff were both quite sour.

@JohnFranklin_55 @BBCr4today @ChrisMasonBBC @bbcnickrobinson Except where the gossip is damaging to Farage obvs.

@BryceMLipscomb @nntaleb We don't! But every time we criticise your government's policies we are accused of anti-Semitism. It's a two way street.

@afneil You're an intelligent man, so why don't you seem to get that this massive deficiency in Britain's defenses is a decades long scandal which Starmer is at least acknowledging and attempting to fix.

@Nigel_Farage @GBNEWS Aren't you supposed to be working for the people of Clacton? But since you mentioned it, how does the demise of NATO make the world a safer place?

@akash_nu @markgurman Mainstream is overrated. I'm delighted Apple made something wonderful for me, and I don't care a jot whether it's mainstream or not.

@hippie_freelove @bphillipsonMP In case you hadn't noticed that's how our whole state education system works. It's called an investment in the future.

@Daves1412 @campbellclaret @BBCr4today @patmcfaddenmp John Timpson and Brian Redhead -1980s - got to the bottom of things without needing the drama. I think it was Timpson who said he trusted listeners to be smart enough to know when interviewees were dodging questions without having to point it out.

@RoryStewartUK Totally agree with you Rory, but may I just pedantically point out that Lebanon isn't a Muslim country.

@NormanGiller @Barclays Much the same happened to me last month - different bank, same game. All the big banks have eliminated relationships in favour of algorithms/external rating agencies. There is no point any more in building a relationship with your bank... no-one on the other side is listening.
