This is pitiful. Come on Britain. How feeble-minded is our democracy?

[Martin Bright @martinbright]

This is pathetic

And be glad of Tory coups @campbellclaret a year ago we would have been enduring Rees-Mogg.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Don’t let anyone ever say I never say anything positive about Tories …. I am in awe of @PennyMordaunt arm and shoulder strength!

[David Belton @DavidBelton7]

Thank you @tds153 for a fascinating interview with Patrick Radden Keefe. A writer talking to another writer gave fresh insights into the writing process. Great stuff.

The Port Vale speech is the most effective blow @Keir_Starmer has ever landed on the Tories and will resonate in every working class community 💥

We didn't have parties to "boost morale"
We didn't have quiz nights
We didn't have champagne
We watched our colleagues die though
We were STEEPED in death
We kept going
We had to
We kept on
So don't you DARE say your parties were "necessary" @borisjohnson
You make me sick.

[Nick Robinson @bbcnickrobinson]

That Boris defence in brief :

I repeatedly assured you that there there were no parties & the rules were followed at all times 

I now accept there were parties & the rules were, in fact, broken

No-one told me

In fact, my press officer told me to say the opposite

Thank you @tds153 for the best follow up question of the week on #R4frontrow “But not deliberately, one presumes?” after being told by Bethany who worked theatre front of house and had been vomited on several times.

Braverman seems unaware Rwanda is responsible for a massive ongoing humanitarian crisis, with 600,000-800,000 displaced, just four hours drive from Kigali. She should try reading the Foreign Office briefs, and visit the border. https://t.co/keARxxxDsS

A little bit front on @backandacross Any movement and I think you might get found out.

@LauraTrevelyan what a fascinating journey you’re on. Lots of luck.

[Laura Trevelyan @LauraTrevelyan]

A new chapter is starting for me. After thirty incredible years at the BBC, I’m leaving tomorrow - to join the growing movement for reparatory justice for the Caribbean. Thank you to my beloved colleagues and to our amazing audience. I couldn’t be more grateful to you all.

[Tom Fletcher @TFletcher]

Bit of a new project claxon. I’m having to learn fast, and the first episode feels perilously soon. But we have some extraordinary interviewees, and this is a battle I care deeply about. Please do listen in, from 17th March.

Premiered yesterday in Berlin a BFI / Canal+ feature I scored. #UkrainianStorybox : Voices of War is a tremendously powerful film, which proved a mighty challenge to write for.
Coming soon to the rest of Europe.

[David Belton @DavidBelton7]

Been a real honour making this film #ukrainianstorybox with @MrJamesGold that tells the story of the war through the eyes of Ukrainian women who shelter their children, stitch the wounds of their husbands, bury their sons, rebuild their houses and fight on the frontline.
