@IainDale @LBC When did Neil Kinnock become the younger son of a duke? “Lord Neil Kinnock”? How about using his correct title, “Lord Kinnock”?

@IainDale @JohnSimmonsDale @WadhurstCastle I’ve never spoken to you, I have never phoned in to LBC (“Long time listener; first time caller”) but what I enjoy more than anything every week is you and Jacqui on For The Many. Thank you for all you do because the two of you are lifesavers xxx

1️⃣ Counties = geographical divisions 2️⃣ Admin zones = local service providers Problem: Conflation of 1️⃣&2️⃣ Solution: Stop using ‘county’ to mean ‘admin zone’ & tweak admin names accordingly. Let’s rescue #HistoricCounties before it’s too late. @MichaelGove @JacobYoungMP @luhc

@BBCCO @BBCRadio2 @BBCRadio2 splashing the cash in a costly orchestral tribute to Steve Wright MBE. While it was nice to hear, I much preferred the simplicity of Steve Rosenberg’s beautiful solo tribute that clearly came straight from the heart and not the licence fee. x.com/bbcstever/stat…
Steve Rosenberg@BBCSteveR

He was, quite simply, brilliant…a broadcaster in a class of his own. As a tribute to Steve Wright, I play the Steve Wright in the Afternoon theme. #SteveWright

Inspired by @TheSimonEvans and @TheLondonSmoke, what's in your unfeasibly large pile of books beside your bed? (there are two other equivalently sized piles after this one....)

Our three simple objectives: ✅ Maps and roads to include #HistoricCounties as standard ✅ End the use of ‘county’ in admin zone names ✅ ‘Ceremonial counties’ realigned to match traditional counties Let’s rescue Britain’s #RealCounties before it’s too late.

Dear friends and former colleagues @BBCNews, If this doesn’t describe an act of pure terror by terrorists what does? The guidelines that I followed for years are no longer fit for purpose, and sadly have the effect of sanitising
Andrew Neil@afneil

Unconfirmed reports that Hamas has slaughtered 40 babies, beheading some, increasingly and sadly look like being true. Major news outlets now carrying the reports. The English language does not contain the vocabulary for an adequate response to this.

Queueing in the reign. A year ago today, people started to queue at the south end of Lambeth Bridge for the late Queen’s lying in state in Westminster Hall which began the following day. The queue grew miles long along the riverside over the next few days

Tony Blackburn OBE.
Tony Blackburn OBE.@tonyblackburn·
How can a man imprisoned for 17 years falsely be charged for his stay when released from prison. He didn’t ask to be in prison, he hadn’t done anything wrong it was a dreadful mistake by the authorities. If he had been guilty and released he wouldn’t have to pay for his bed and board. Has the world gone mad !!

@carolecadwalla There is nothing wrong with this. You lied. You defamed. You were incapable of justifying your lies. You were found guilty. Like millions of cases that go to court, you lose, you pay. Maybe you should have been less arrogant and provide an apology at an early stage? Just thinking

De gustibus and all that, but I think the Coronation invitation design is beautiful, a skilful work of modern heraldic art. Contrast some of the puerile, visually illiterate denigration of it, including from people whose thoughts are regularly published or broadcast in the media

@haloleisure Halo Leisure! Why is the service you provide so useless? Why does nobody ever pick up the telephone? Disgraceful service: why do you think you can do things better than the council could in house?

This mess started when Dame Cressida Dick said on Tuesday that the Metropolitan Police were investigating the parties before Sue Gray’s report was published. Why not say the Met would look at the report when it was published and then take a view on any police action? #PartyGate
