I block transphobes on sight just as I block racists and homophobes so don't waste your time with your bile, bigotry, nonsense and verbal abuse.🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Webb also allowed Tice to spout nonsense about anxiety and even chuckled in agreement at one point. Nobody gets PIP for feeling anxious because they lost their notes or lost their car keys. Clinical anxiety is a very different thing and can wreck people's lives. #r4today

Justin Webb said, if I heard correctly, that people on PIP get £1700 a week. But £1,700 a week would be nearly 9 times the actual maximum and is not possible under the rules. #r4today

I learn my GP surgery employs a "Diabetic Nurse" which invites the response "Physician, heal thyself!"

Unlike rich public schoolboy Jeremy Hunt your average young NEET doesn't have the luxury of starting a hare-brained business exporting Oxford Marmalade to Japan which goes bust because Japanese don't eat preserves for breakfast. #bbclaurak

Kuenssberg sarcastically calling the Prime Minister "A.Burnham" Coming up we've got "R.Jenrick" - or possibly not. #bbclaurak

A prolonged average 20pt lead across all main pollsters.

For a few days I can't stop my mind converting GMT back to BST. 🕰️ It's like the way my parents' generation would convert decimal prices back to the 'old money' although some continued doing that for decades.

Had a dekko at Celebrity Gogglebox and enjoyed Paul Whitehouse's comment on Celebrity Traitors: "How old is the target audience? Four?"

So annoying when you're enjoying a lovely sleep in the armchair and you're woken up by loud and inconsiderate snoring. Then you realise it was coming from you. 😴🤦‍♂️

Justin Webb couldn't move Alastair Campbell away from his criticisms of Israel fast enough. #r4today

In this talk of stockpiling for crises it's important to remember that people who struggle to provide for day-to-day living won't have the resources to also build up emergency supplies of food and essentials. #Newsnight #bbcnews #C4News

When #bbcpm talked about Burnham going on Gogglebox they didn't mention it's an annual celebrity edition to raise money for cancer research. I think that's a pretty key point but of course it undermines the insinuation it's a piece of frivolity.

Is the BBC going to state the political donations of every business person they interview in the way that Anna Foster said Dale Vince gives money to Labour? #r4today

Geoff Norcott has been given the "comedian" seat on tonight's Question Time, a seat once occupied bu Russell Brand. #bbcqt

Richard Dawkins has just described trans people as "poor deluded freaks." That's hate speech and it's appalling that it could be thought acceptable to describe trans people or any vulnerable minority in those terms on a public forum.

I think I've discovered you can be licensed to practice as a doctor in the UK and work in General Practice without being a Registered GP and without having a qualification in General Practice. I'll probably be corrected if I'm wrong.

Years ago an Editor of #PoliticsLIve told me on here they were going to broaden the range of people on the panel. Never happened. Same old, same old, today being a good example.

I'd heard of medicine shortages but not personally encountered them until today when the pharmacy told me they were struggling to source a drug that is vital for many people, including post-transplant patients. These are scary times in so many ways.

That long item felt like the Green's Ashok Kumar was on trial with four prosecutors lined up against him. #PoliticsLive

Ah, the towering intellect that is Dan Hannan. The man who insisted that Brexit wouldn't mean leaving the Single Market. A long time since we've seen him but still not long enough. #PoliticsLive
