Such a thrill to share my Inheritance Tracks @BBCRadio4 The people who died in 2004 tsunami when we were so lucky to be protected by a spit of land will always be in my heart. ‘How can you grow old’ is a line in the Delays song I chose. They didn’t get to

He speaks for 1000s of restaurant owners. 3 hospitality venues are closing each day according to the estimates. Costs up. Taxes up. Profit has disappeared. @BBCNewsnight

[BBC Newsnight @BBCNewsnight]

"It is the hardest it has ever been... one or two [of my businesses] are running at 115% costs, which means we are stagnant, sat still or losing money."

I know the heat can make us all light headed but i think I just heard the ex Chair of @Ofcom Michael Grade tell @katierazz on #mediashow that @bbcr4today or any other BBC News programme could be presented by a politician just like @GBNEWS. Can anyone remind me when parliament, the public, licence fee payers or anyone else was asked their opinion on this ?

What a treat to visit Maggie O'Farrell in her home in Edinburgh. We got through a lot. Her new book, Land - a fictional deep dive into Irish history & the Great Famine - her Hollywood whirlwind, where she keeps her Hamnet awards & much more @BBCNews https://t.co/MD8fPj6NVs

OSCAR HUNT ON. I met Pavel in LA just before he won his @TheAcademy Oscar. He was so excited at the idea he might learn how much the statuette weighed. I am not surprised he has been carrying it around. Surely it will be found?? https://t.co/woeqNuM25i

@TheBoyWonerd @britishmuseum Thanks. I took him to mean the various universities rather than just one....

[Katie Razzall @katierazz]

RIP Ittai Gradel. He exposed the thefts @britishmuseum 2000 items stolen, missing or damaged. Ittai was fearless, fascinating, an expert in the classical world - and, after we made our series Thief at the British Museum, a friend. I will miss him terribly

ICYMI last night on BBC4 - here's our interview with Julian Barnes, who was (to my mind) at his most relaxed, interesting and open as he published what he says is his final novel. What did he think of the para we got AI to write in his style?! Watch now https://t.co/GpUjyeUe94
