Owen Walker

Today, I have planned and produced a piece on @bbc5live highlighting this at 2pm. The charity, @diffstrokes, helped enormously with this so a big shout out to them. Don't forget to tune in! (1/2)

Nearly 5 years ago I had a #stroke. I lost the ability to talk. However, after intensive speech therapy, I can talk and work. But many people don't realise that a stroke can happen at any time. 16% of strokes in the UK happened to people below the age of 60. (1/2)

@Deborah71247971 OK - thank you

Hello Owen. Thank you for wanting to highlight the important topic of stroke. Please can you go via NHSE comms team as usual process. Many thanks.

@Deborah71247971 I'm a journalist working for BBC Radio 5 Live. I'm planning a story about strokes in young people and I was wondering if I could talk to you about it? If so, can you follow me and I will DM you? Thank you

Your #ThreeLions squad for the @FIFAWorldCup! 🦁

Just watched @BBCMOTD with @Michailantonio - he was brilliant; it was really interesting to see how he analysed his performance

Amazing human being @MarcusRashford - congratulations on reaching 100 goals for #ManUtd

Conservative MP Charles Walker seems broken by tonight's events - tells @BBCNews he is livid with colleagues

It will be interesting to see #PMQs today with the political upheaval this week

This is fantastic!

Happy birthday @BBC! 100 years of broadcasting to the UK and the world. I'm really proud to be part of this corporation

@miah_ima I'm a journalist working for @BBC5Live – we are doing a story about Covid vaccine and I saw that you had been interviewed by the Telegraph for piece they did about the same subject. I was wondering if we could talk to you about same thing? If so, can you DM me? Thx

@fhussain73 Hi I'm a journalist working for @BBC5Live – I saw your interview on NHS England about Covid jabs (england.nhs.uk/2021/02/gp-det…) and I was wondering if you would like to come on and talk about it? If so, could you follow me and I will DM you? Thank you

@AllyBeaven I'm a journalist from @BBC5Live and I just read your article in The Times about how many records had been broke this year. It would be nice to have you on the show to talk about it and your new book. Are you interested? If so, can you follow and message me? Thanks!

@HannahJBetts @bbc5live Great! I will have a look. We are thinking the 29th (next Thursday) - the last programme we have before Halloween. But I can't message (DM) you on Twitter, it won't let me - can you message me?

@owenwalker3 @bbc5live Done, comrade. Today not ideal, but imagine you need something nearer Hallowe’en? Here’s the first time I ever wrote about it: telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/…

@HannahJBetts I'm a producer on the Emma Barnett Show on @bbc5live I'm reading your article on how you lived in a haunted house you.co.uk/hannah-betts-h… It was fascinating & it'll be great to talk to you on air - are you interested? If so can you follow me & I could message you

I've been talking to #Covid sufferers investigating the #longhaulers of the disease. It's so sad that some people who were healthy before the life has been turned upside down. If you want to hear the piece you can follow this link: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… (It starts at 40:30)

@losdixies Thank you for your interest. We don't have a date yet but I will tweet about it when it airs. How long have you had Covid?

After multiple relapses, I joined a #COVID19 support group -it saved my sanity & soul. There was a survey underway to aggregate experiences. I joined the effort and here's our 50p report on data from 640 participants. Help us make it heard!
