Voyage of the Beagle

A rather bewildered middle-aged woman searching for the #meaningoflife while circumnavigating Britain with her old motorhome and beloved beagle.

@Scaramucci Well said!

@BowenBBC I've always found your reporting to be powerful, deeply insightful and meticulously even-handed. Your contribution to this week's From Our Own Correspondent was extremely moving, particularly the description of that little girl's dreams written on a piece of cardboard. Thank you!

@carneross @RoryStewartUK Totally soul destroying. It paints a bleak picture of a political system completely unfit for purpose. What's the answer? Do we need to dismantle it and start again?

[Voyage of the Beagle @AnninherVan]

@AasmahMir Loved your article in The Times. You're a brilliant writer. "There are no heroes or villains here, just roadkill."

@theJeremyVine @BBCRadio2 @DrChrisSmith And there was me hoping (in vain) to get my head around the #HiggsBosun in 1 min 26 secs 🤒

[Voyage of the Beagle @AnninherVan]

@EnverSol @BBCRadio4 A much-needed voice of compassion and reason - thank you!

[Voyage of the Beagle @AnninherVan]

@BBCWomansHour @GloriaSteinem @Emmabarnett Thanks @Emmabarnett for a job expertly done. You've always managed to get the tone just right whether you're grilling an evasive politician or giving a domestic violence survivor the confidence to tell their story - all while making listeners feel you're chatting directly to them

@biologyofbelief @draonline And similar extraordinary celestial events are happening all the time while we're busy fighting each other and destroying our stunningly beautiful blue planet

@carneross @BBCRadio4 @BBCWorldatOne Excellent interview. Yes it's hard to risk losing your job/livelihood/maybe the possibility of a future knighthood - but it's still the right thing to do so just do it. That's all any one of us ever needs to do in life. It's quite simple really.

@BBCSounds Don't think I've ever laughed and cried quite so much in the space of just a few minutes. Possibly the most inspiring interview about cancer ever recorded!

@guardianopinion Beautiful article - I have such deep respect for this man

[Voyage of the Beagle @AnninherVan]

@faldin_sergey @guardian Excellent article. So interesting to read your perspective on this!

@POTUS, you promised to close Guantánamo Bay by the end of your presidency, but men cleared for release in October are still not free.


Return them to their families now. #BidenSetThemFree #CloseGuantanamo

@APompliano Really love your stuff but I'm afraid I don't entirely agree with this. When you've spent all day scrubbing urinals on a minimum wage, you simply don't have enough motivation, curiosity and persistence to dive deep into how you're getting totally screwed by the current system.

[Voyage of the Beagle @AnninherVan]

@saylor Yes!! 😍

[Voyage of the Beagle @AnninherVan]

@laurie_bristow @laurie_bristow is without doubt the selfless hero of this very dark hour, buckling down and getting on with the perilous task at hand while our politicians indulge in shameful and futile point scoring. We salute you!

[Voyage of the Beagle @AnninherVan]

@theJeremyVine Wow!

[Voyage of the Beagle @AnninherVan]

@DanCardenMP Absolutely brilliant speech, very well done Dan. I wish my brother were alive to hear it. He was a director of the biggest insurance company in the world - but drank himself to death 3 years ago because he couldn't come to terms with his own sexuality. I salute you!

[Voyage of the Beagle @AnninherVan]

@biologyofbelief Really loved watching this - it should be compulsory in schools!

@samthesparrow @BBCRadio4 @BBCSounds I've been a devotee of #DesertIslandDiscs for decades but nothing has ever moved me quite so much as this episode. Thanks so much to @samthesparrow and @BBCRadio4. You owe me a big box of hankies!!
