@SimonAnholt @NickCull Any chance you could publish some emergency discussions around what diplomacy looks like in situations like we see in Gaza/Israel? Where does one even begin? What do people say behind closed doors? What are best outcomes?

[James Fishmar @JFishmar]

@OhGodWhatNowPod Is there a site dedicated to all the u-turners? Perhaps they could win u-turner prizes?

[James Fishmar @JFishmar]

@peterfrankopan Look forward to hearing you promote it in one of my fave podcasts! And definitely will be reading it

[James Fishmar @JFishmar]

@peterfrankopan Oooh can’t wait

[James Fishmar @JFishmar]

@AlexiMostrous @ApplePodcasts @spotifypodcasts Amazing podcast and investigation thank you. I’m astonished, fascinated and horrified. Your calm voice kind of made it doable. Is there a “cast” list somewhere? I struggle to follow who is who in this story. The show doesn’t seem to have its own site.

[James Fishmar @JFishmar]

Really enjoy #TheNewsAgents and your work @jonsopel @maitlis . I can't listen though if @bp_UK is sponsoring you. @persephonica

@MatthewGwyther My highly educated uncle owned his house but was sold on stories about having to pay for polish rapists to be well looked after in jail due to eu regs.

@b1rkh0ff @JeffBmi @nastasiaKlimash I’ve heard of a few too. They don’t speak local language, feel isolated and still get all news from WhatsApp or RT. Don’t forget we’ve had nearly 10 years in the west of people believing all sorts of lies even without press restrictions

@nastasiaKlimash Could conscription be the tipping point where informed Russians rise up?

[James Fishmar @JFishmar]

@nastasiaKlimash Having family that also made some wierd decisions in the Brexit years I understand your confusion (but in much milder setting obviously). In a Russians case, couldn’t they be thrown in jail if their phones are monitored ?

[James Fishmar @JFishmar]

@OzzyManReviews will you be covering the Iranian protests?

[ERSHAD ALIJANI @ErshadAlijani]

It is the first time we have seen Iranian protesters fighting back in this way. It's another "first of its kind" in the recent protests in Iran. And it's not just this video, there are dozens of them something has fundamentally changed in the protests in Iran.

@jonsopel @trussliz “No, Joe, trickle down totes works and it makes a nice relaxing sound too. Cheese?”

@jonronson since when did Twitter become a porn channel? I tried to report some pretty graphic hardcore stuff and there was no option. Just options for abuse and hateful speech.

@MintPressNews How would everyone feel if it was Jimmy Saville in the procession?

[James Fishmar @JFishmar]

@sturdyAlex You’re a class act, but I had tuned in for observations about some of the absurd reactions to this.

[James Fishmar @JFishmar]

@lewis_goodall Is because the Tory party likes to put expendable leaders in when it suits them?

[James Fishmar @JFishmar]

@MichaelWarbur17 @peterfrankopan Is the The Omen 4?

[James Fishmar @JFishmar]

@MazzucatoM @karaswisher @Freakonomics @NickHanauer I knew your work b4 but really enjoyed hearing u on Buxton’s podcast. Is there a video explaining pizza economics? it takes some deprogramming to not see State like family budgets. Keep hearing journalists discussing cost of the crisis. Can gov just print money in this situation?

[James Fishmar @JFishmar]

@EtanSmallman @maitlis @lewis_goodall And yet that’s what we need isn’t it?
The news should once again only come at 7pm and we should only read the news on Sunday. That would sort a whole lot of problems.
