many years ago during my first job at the BBC, I was nearly scammed when looking for a place to live. I took it to @vicderbyshire and the team who let me investigate and report—with the help of @jim_reed !—and there have finally been consequences for these rogue letting agents.

1. I don’t often tweet about my personal life, but on 1st November, my mum Jane was hit by a large vehicle as a pedestrian in St. Louis, USA. She suffered a severe brain injury & remains in a coma in hospital. Here's Jane & me in happier times.

@vicderbyshire @jim_reed Do check out bbc.co.uk/news/business-… for more info - thanks again to the team for their support in seeing the story through.

@vicderbyshire @jim_reed we ran two films at the time, investigating non-refundable deposits, fake ads, intimidating behaviour and even illegal evictions. Afterwards, I was contacted by many other people with the same experience, so it's great to see convictions following our original investigation!

@GSHCchamp pardon, c'est quoi 'desk 157'? Désolée!

@EsmeAsh Oui desk 157 c

@GSHCchamp Salut Laurent! Est-ce que vous serait intéressé à faire une interview avec BBC News ce soir? ~21:00 (CEST) - si vous m'envoyez un message direct, je peux vous en dire plus. Merci!

"Undercover A&E review – the sheer wrongness of it all will drive you to tears....the NHS remains Britain’s primary source of pride...after watching you may wonder whether it is more fitting to describe the NHS as a source of national shame" #C4dispatches theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/a…

It’s quite damning of our politics that a debate without politicians is so refreshing, respectful and gets through so much detail. I know our programme on fixing the NHS isn’t full of fireworks, but it’s telling me a lot more than a sterile argument about tax and some vague pledges. #c4nhsdebate #c4dispatches

If you're watching #C4Dispatches Undercover A & E now and shocked at what you're seeing - do watch the follow up C4 debate The NHS In Crisis - it's a politician free zone and perhaps leads to a more intelligent conversation with more illuminating answers about how to fix the NHS.

@EmilyEverdee Yes! absolutely!

Question for film folks. Given the current climate, and as a producer who doesn’t come from wealth, would it be helpful to literally anyone if I broke down all the different means of earning £££ I’ve done alongside producing over the years to make it sustainable?

EXCL: Data obtained by Newsnight + analysed by BBC suggests NHS England adult gender clinics facing 10 year backlog of 1st appointments. NHS Eng confirm they will begin a review into adult services in “coming weeks”. Full story 22:30 @BBCNewsnight 1/2 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-686029…

Egg freezing is booming. I have spent time with some of the people who’ve done it, including @VickyPattison, to find out why they chose a procedure described as expensive and invasive but also empowering. Egg freezing and Me is available on the @iplayer now.

@GaryinScotland Hi Gary - we're interested in hearing from people across the UK!

Have you had your bike stolen? As part of a documentary looking at crime, we'd like to hear from any recent victims of bike theft or bike-jacking, and anyone with CCTV footage or user-generated content/photos which can help illustrate the volume of these incidents. DM/email me!

@BritishCycling @rapha @WeAreCyclingUK @London_Cycling @RPcyclists @camdencyclists @roadcc @UCI_cycling @camcycle

@waxwellmilson @SpokeSafe Hi Max - thanks, I've just picked up your email too so will get back to you on there. Appreciate it!

@EsmeAsh Hi Esme, twitter won’t let me dm you but I run a company called @SpokeSafe which is a platform that connects cyclists to secure parking spaces. I can certainly help with some of this and probs provide some more context too.
