@LBC @Jacob_Rees_Mogg @AndrewMarr9 No, and isn't it your job to contradict him, rather than foisting it on us?

[David Reid @DaveJReid]

@theJeremyVine "I am starting to think" Really? I am not sure you are. If he comes forward and it turns out he is innocent, his career is still finished. Perhaps you should start to think again.

[David Reid @DaveJReid]

@BasuAshis @TABASCO Haha...really? So a long shelf-life as well as being a never ending brand. I love the stuff. A friend of mine told me that her father had a bottle of Angostura that lasted him "through three marriages".

[The Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) @TheAJR_]

We were delighted to have @BBCr4today's @realzoestrimpel and @DaveJReid at AJR offices last Friday to interview our CEO Michael Newman and Holocaust Survivor Mala Tribich. Keep your eyes peeled for more details on the interview

@Tessadunlop @GBNEWS @jerryhayes1 Certainly sounds like a sincere apology to me. And big of Tessa to put it out there. Most would've hidden away. She'll be mortified at this. I spent some wonderful weeks with Tessa making a documentary for the Queen's obituary coverage. She's delightful.

@bbcnickrobinson He is being hounded out for being Boris Johnson. I reckon that's enough for most people.

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

If the Boris Johnson defence is that he was told by his senior civil servants that the rules were being obeyed, this exchange with Cabinet Secretary, Simon Case, would seem to blow a rather gaping hole in it…..

[David Reid @DaveJReid]

@maitlis "I would never have dreamed of doing so." Yes...unconscionable. How prissy he sounds.

[David Reid @DaveJReid]

@JimStenman @realzoestrimpel @ClarWest Thanks for listening Jim. Really glad you enjoyed the piece.

[David Reid @DaveJReid]

Is Britain Exceptional? Analysis, Radio 4. Had a lot of fun putting this together with the Sunday Telegraph's Zoe Strimpel. Brilliant contributors stripping back centuries of myth to reveal the hidden roots of Britishness today.

@dib50511659 @RobertLindsay They're learning to shoot, reload and shoot again. Nothing in that lesson about, "Oh yes, and be sure son not to actually hit the person you are shooting at."

[David Reid @DaveJReid]

@darrengrimes Oh.. So you like them when they score goals, but not when they express their opinions against racism and inequality? And you are not really sure within yourself why you don't like it, so say it is because it is not British. Are they British in your opinion Mr Grimes?

[David Reid @DaveJReid]

@timolloyd Very moving. Important to be grounded in a landscape, a place... and among people.

[David Reid @DaveJReid]

@darrengrimes Deliberately blunt thinking. The meanings of gestures change over time. They're doing the right thing. Good to remember the price paid in lives to enable ambivalent players to pimp their talent to sell fizzy drinks and bolster weird authoritarians.

[David Reid @DaveJReid]

@BT0731 Fantastic. He did brilliantly to hold it together for so long.

[David Reid @DaveJReid]

@Tessadunlop @JKCorden He took the only good gag from the whole of Ricky Gervais's act. I don't know if it is still up, but if you want a laugh, have a look at Corden's Ask Me Anything on Reddit - a complete pile-on. Including, "Yeah...I went to school with James. I can confirm he was a twat then!"

@FraserNelson Once we've removed the link between ethnicity and disadvantage we can pat ourselves on the back, not before.

[David Reid @DaveJReid]

@Go89586918Gould @hererofrtime @FraserNelson @alessionaval "There's some corner of a foreign field that is forever"... Africa, India/Pakistan, Caribbean, East Asia. They fought and died with the Allies in WWs I and II. You might enjoy reading about it if you appreciate military history.

[David Reid @DaveJReid]

@schooltruth Such a mistake.
