@TLRailUK We are stuck on your train service heading to Sutton via Wimbledon and currently stuck at Tulse Hill with Child and 2 dogs. The delay has been 30 mins. We can’t get on or off and the driver is speaking so quietly, we cannot hear a word spoken. Can you update me please?

@SkyCricket The Indian batters look so cool and controlled. Sone amazing shots.

The first wicket is taken at Trent Bridge! 🏏

@BellaWallerstei Valkyrie. Tom Cruise. Really very good.

Down with the lurgy - please send me some war film recommendations x

@RogerBlack400 Well done Roger. In 2016 I had the same operation as you and in hospital for nearly 2 weeks. 9 years on and I feel great and hope you will too! All the best to you on the road to recovery. I’ll be 66 this year. 👍

Three weeks ago I had open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve and repair my aortic root. My “incompetent” bicuspid valve was discovered when I was 11 years old and for the last 47 years I have been looked after by the cardiac team at Southampton General Hospital. 🧵

@BBCSteveR @BBCRadio4 @BBCSounds @bbcworldservice Fantastic report Steve. Very moving indeed.

"Recently something unexpected happened to produce a rare chink of light in dark times." From Moscow, my dispatch for BBC Radio's From Our Own Correspondent. Congratulations to the programme, which celebrates its 70th birthday in 2025. @BBCRadio4 @BBCSounds @bbcworldservice

@BBCSteveR @MajorGrubert @LizaShuvalova @BBCNews Happy New Year Steve. Thank you for the excellent news reports.

@MajorGrubert @LizaShuvalova @BBCNews Yes indeed.

As Russia celebrates the New Year I gauge the mood in Moscow. “Russian people are patient,” one man tells me, “they stay silent.” Thanks to @LizaShuvalova @BBCNews

@bobmca1 Dont bring Hertfordshire into this, I believe she was from Herefordshire. Not that it matters. 😎. In Hereford, Hartford and Hampshire hurricanes hardly ever happen. 🤪

Cressida Gethin, a 22-year-old activist from picturesque Hertfordshire affiliated with Just Stop Oil, has received a four-year prison sentence. Her mother is in tears, asking for our compassion because Cressida will be absent from her brother's wedding. Err…. hello! What about all the people who missed weddings, funerals, essential cancer treatments, and other significant life moments due to Cressida’s self-serving actions? Sympathy - zero!

@holland_tom The ‘Gillingham Chain’ came into force after that attack. True- Check it out.

Vengeance for the Medway at last

@DMiliband I was feeling hungry myself

Judi Dench was on Graham Norton last night to push her new book about her life and work with Shakespeare. After making the point we quote Shakespeare daily without knowing it, this happened:

More than 100 passengers a year fly to Austria when they meant to fly to Australia So Salzburg Airport has a special counter for them

The man's a legend.

@churchill_alex @jerijerod14 Charles Allen, who died a couple of years ago, recorded some fantastic accounts of folks who served in India at that time in all sorts of roles. Available from the British Library.

A view of the docks at Bombay. A young soldier bought it when he arrived in 1914, sailing east to replace regular army men on their way west. The thing he liked most? The constant opportunities to buy the best fruit he’d ever tasted in his life.

In 1961, Tonight took a tentative step inside the Glynne Arms in Himley (later known as The Crooked House) for a look around "the most cockeyed pub in England" and to ask which end was up and which end was down.

Looking for something to do on a Friday afternoon? What about on a chalk stream with this man. 😂 Lord, take me now.

A friend of mine's just sent me this. Can't find it on Twitter so thought I'd post it. It's fabulous. The account, marvin_uganda, is well worth a look if you're on Instagram.
