@mattmoorek Let me know when you do. I am missing serious and sensible debate.

@_alexforrest It’s gone downhill so fast. Going to have to find an alternative.

Wait til he finds out about the coastguard.

@tobycastle @BBC @FCDOGovUK @BBCNews Congratulations Toby!

Some personal news – I’m leaving the @BBC after 9 years and off to @FCDOGovUK as Head of News & Press Secretary to Foreign Sec. Start later this year and leave with nothing but good feelings for @BBCNews Grateful for a fresh opportunity and can’t wait to get stuck in.

@RobDotHutton You're too funny!

@itn This is so devastating. Emily was such a great person and I’m so sad she’s gone.

We are devastated at the passing of our remarkable colleague Emily Morgan. Emily was a hugely talented journalist and a much-loved friend and mentor to so many here. She will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with Emily’s family. Statement: itn.co.uk/media-centre/e…

We are at the ‘betrayal’ phase of the Brexit saga- this is where the fantasists accept it’s a failure but blame others..it’s the final phase of disastrous projects when the wreckers fight amongst themselves..still noisy and self-regarding while others deal with the dark consequences:

@Kieran_drake I ran my first 10km yesterday in the Berlin Frauenlauf. I was so happy when we had a tiny bit of rain at the beginning.

Berlin was looking lovely this morning - all 25km of it! - even if I found myself cursing the sunshine ☀️ and warm weather for first time this year! #S25 #CityLauf

A lovely moment from our @dwnews coronation coverage today: @Tomi_Oladipo reveals a special connection to the ceremony while in the studio with @_alexforrest and @AnjaMcKinnon - all absolutely excellent during their marathon live stretch earlier 👏👑😅

@ayakibrahim Shocking.

At a university conference on migration in Germany in the year 2023, a Greens mayor utters the N-word 5 time in less than a minute and receives applause. He did say that it’s about context though 🤷🏻‍♀️

@mauricetfrank Brilliant!!

Neighbours trying to ration Internet

@WarehamNicholas @GermanEmbassy @UKinGermany The King is rocking it!

Nächster Halt Hamburg! #RoyalVisitGermany

@HeleneBismarck I want to go! I so need to work on my Royal connections. Enjoy and rub it in as much as you like.

@derJamesJackson I think it was brilliant and I salute anyone who is brave enough to speak in German in public. I struggle!

You can always tell who learnt German from operas because they roll their R's exactly like this

@TVNewsCaps100 @itvnews 😀 Another cold dark night at Westminster...

#ThrowbackThursday @_alexforrest (@itvnews) 24-02-2008 📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺

@CarlNasman @BBCNews So great Carl! Really happy for you!

Some personal news:   I’m thrilled to be joining @BBCNews in Washington DC as a Senior Journalist! It’s an honor to help build the BBC's coverage and presence in the US at a time when trusted, accurate and impartial journalism is more important than ever.

Judging by messages I’m getting @BBCMOTD in meltdown. Any presenter who agrees to replace @GaryLineker tomorrow night will be tainted as effectively a political appointment. Ditto any pundit.
