@BBCSteveR @LizaShuvalova Thanks for the update

Appeal rejected. US journalist Evan Gershkovich remains in pre-trial detention in Moscow. Here’s what we saw in court today. Producer @LizaShuvalova #EvanGershkovich

@Andrew__Roth @PjotrSauer @shaunwalker7 This article made me profoundly sad. I had been wondering what had become of him. I'm so sorry to learn how trapped he has become.

“The goal of Lukashenko was simple and clear: to break the personality of Raman and make him the instrument, the tool of Lukashenko’s policy. And he achieved it." Story w/@shaunwalker7 on Raman Pratasevich's dark turn from activist to regime mouthpiece theguardian.com/world/2023/may…

@maxseddon @PjotrSauer @ProjectBrazen @FreeGershkovich This is a great podcast put together by friends, family and colleagues of Evan. I have sent him a message via the website freegershkovich.com

A very nice podcast from @ProjectBrazen about @FreeGershkovich from friends and colleagues on the heels of the 50th day of his absurd detention in Russia open.spotify.com/episode/134RBf…

“On the surface there is an air of normality. In reality, there is nothing normal about what's happening here.” My personal reflections on what it feels like in Moscow more than 14 months after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. @BBCNews

@SirMattBourne I agree

Horrific … This needs to stop … Can anyone out there give me a reason to justify this? #GrandNational

I just signed a @theactionnet petition: Protect Horses: Cancel the Grand National. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/canc…

@PjotrSauer @felix_light Disgusted

Russian President Vladimir Putin personally approved the arrest of a US reporter on espionage charges for the first time since the Cold War, according to people familiar with the situation bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@pjm1kbw Beggars belief!

Imagine being the guy who made the rules, publicised the rules and told us we had to obey the rules and then finding yourself unintentionally and not recklessly (obvs) misleading Parliament about parties going on in your own gaff. How unlucky is that? 🤷🏼‍♂️ bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-p…

@RobinsonOly Love L'Occitane products. Especially the Immortelle Divine Cream.

#ad It is so important to me that the organisations I work with are also committed to this journey of female empowerment. That’s why I’m thrilled to share I am a new ambassador for @loccitane_uk_ire, a brand that is committed to female empowerment Happy #WomensDay

@AkanKwaku @SuellaBraverman Nor me

When @SuellaBraverman talks about the will of the British people and them doing what they do, for the British people, she isn’t talking about me.

@WestBuckland @jamiecullum @OWBAssoc She was outstanding!!

So thrilled to be listening to the incredible Emma Rawicz, ex student at WBS and now rising star in jazz. Described by ⁦@jamiecullum⁩ as “an incredible talent”. #jazz #alumni ⁦@OWBAssoc⁩

@reallorraine Meet the Fokkers

Some Like It Hot

@QueensTennis Andy Murray

Announcement incoming next week... Until then who are you picking? 👇

@pjm1kbw I don't know but I don't see it either!

£4.8m declared earnings in just 5 months. And yet someone still wants to sub him £74k for free accommodation. And someone else throws him a cool £1m to support his activities. What is it about this total buffoon I just can’t see? 🤦‍♂️ bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

@tweeter_anita @EnglishHeritage @BluePlaqueBot @EmpirePodUK @BloomsburyBooks @BloomsburyIndia @AnjMohindra @DalrympleWill @TherealNihal @bbcasiannetwork Loved your biography of her!

Couldn’t share the news with you before, but Princess Sophia Duleep Singh will finally get the recognition she deserves. Six new blue plaques have been granted for 2023. The Princess, suffragette and revolutionary will have her plaque on her grace and favour home at Hampton Court

@reece_dinsdale Naive

Not trying to be remotely antagonistic but I’m genuinely confused about this trans/woman thing. Don’t we have to live and let live? How does someone transitioning into a woman take away from a woman being a woman? Maybe I’m naive. 🤷‍♂️ No offence meant to anyone.

@pjm1kbw I agree. There is so much not working in this country at present. Did you realise that there is a shortage of pathologists? Relative died on Boxing Day and funeral not until Feb because the PM, etc takes so long. Am realising this is a nationwide thing according to friends.

Is it too much just to ask for an efficient, competent, honest and transparent government? That gets things done. So that things actually work. Let’s start with that. Then we can worry about the gimmicky contracts with the British public.

@wrobinson101 @dryrobe @BBCRadio4 Fascinated in the car to hear about Dryrobe. I live near to their HQ. Daughter and I have them. Use them as all purpose winter coats.

Here’s my fabulous friend Rona wearing her Dryrobe after a swim in the sea at St Andrews. She has been seen wearing it in Waitrose. I interviewed Gideon Bright, the man who invented @dryrobe today on Gap Finders #youandyours ⁦@BBCRadio4

@nathaliejacoby1 Course not!!!
