Can I just say as a pro BBC man, how pleased I am that the cuts proposed involve programmes and creative employees and not, thank heavens members of management. God forbid

MONARCHY NEWS Royal family join in Halloween costume day- sorry, correction: Royal Ascot

As a Scot in Boston, I’m proud of the soft diplomacy achieved by our fans…but imagine that backed with the power of independence! Our democratic intellect, our rampant egalitarianism, our tradition of caring for the most vulnerable would all be revered and valued by the world.

🚨 BREAKING: Everyone who joined our NHS–Palantir campaign has now had a reply from NHS England's Data Protection Officer. In writing, they confirmed: ▸ Palantir staff can access identifiable patient data before it's pseudonymised ▸ There is no opt-out from the Federated Data Platform ▸ Your Article 21 right to object has been formally refused They've confirmed it. They won't change it. Next step: a formal ICO complaint, citing their own response. We're building a one-click escalation tool for campaign participants. Watch this space.

There are not petrol shortages on the Moscow - Saint Petersburg highway. It is a Special Queuing Operation.

Saddened to see the “anyone but England” attitude of some of my fellow Scots today. And as someone with a genuine affinity with Croatia, having briefly considered holidaying there in 1987, I find it a little patronising to myself and my Croatian amigos on our big day. 🇭🇷

Unlike William and Kate, I couldn't afford to put my son's name down for Eton. But I did manage to get him on the waiting list for an NHS dentist, which is at least a start.

There's no-one taking our Scots (at least unless we get connected to that line) 🤝 #effzeh

We’ve had an incredibly kind offer from @RamboIII10. If any Scots wants to get out of the city for a couple of days, there is an offer to get fed and stay on their farm for free. It’s about 2.5hrs out of Boston. macisaachighland.com

Michelle Mone has been on an official leave of absence from the House of Lords since late 2022. To remove her peerage requires an Act of Parliament. Mone and her husband Doug Barrowman owe taxpayers £148 Mn. They are a disgrace. Her peerage should be removed ASAP. #BBCBreakfast

When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped. Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself. A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

Greta Thunberg sends birthday wishes to Donald Trump: “My initial thought was to give you a one-way ticket to The Hague as a birthday gift, but that comment would probably go above your head. I will instead give you a can of alphabet soup; the sentences you poop out will be more coherent than anything you have ever said. Now you can finally take part in meaningful public discourse”

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist. At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk
