'@BBCRadio4 Please stop refering to UK holidays as staycations. A staycation is when you stay in your own home and do holiday activities. Many of us are doing that in 2020 & 2021. Don't run down holidays in the UK - people travel across the world for fabulous trips to the UK.

[Robyn Cox @RCoxxie]

@AngelaBarnes Absolutely. My husband is now disabled and UK holidays are now much easier for us than going overseas. But in 2020 (& likely 2021) we had genuine staycations when the weather was good, travelling out of town for several great day trips. Many thanks for your action, Angela.

'@IslingtonBC I'm outraged at your creation of no-entry points on roads by putting up barely noticeable signs & bollards next to pavements, eg Canonbury Sq. You're clearly just trying to raise money from law-abiding drivers, esp we residents who've driven these roads for decades.

'@afuahirsch Loved your series #africarenaissance on BBC. Was particularly touched by children learning classical ballet in a Nairobi slum - shows how important it is not to judge a book by its cover! Thank you.

[Robyn Cox @RCoxxie]

This moved me to tears, too. My heart goes out to all those who can't be with their loved ones in their final hours, and to the medical profession having to cope with such heart-breaking situations.

[BBC Radio 4 Sunday @BBCR4Sunday]

A lot of people have been telling us that this moved them to tears: https://t.co/01I5avHYJz

'@BBCr4today Dog walkers who let their dogs off leads need to be more aware that there are walkers who are unsteady on their feet and scared of dogs. My husband fell as a result of dogs being too friendly and he now has a serious brain injury that's wrecked both our lives.

'@SainsburysNews Why do you package Sainsbury's Ultra Balm tissues - which are FSC branded - wrapped in plastic as a twin pack? It's a completely unnecessary use of plastic.

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

That the Chief Rabbi should be compelled to make such an unprecedented statement at this time ought to alert us to the deep sense of insecurity and fear felt by many British Jews:

Nazanin and Richard are now almost 2 weeks without food. They are still #Hungry4Justice. With Iran not budging it's more important than ever we keep Nazanin's story alive. Please help #FreeNazanin by signing & sharing the petition: https://t.co/LIRYM7L4uY CC @amnesty @kuminaidoo

From billions of pounds of cost increase due to contractual change to strains on Army personnel, our reports illustrate the huge importance of getting contracts right & knowing how to respond if they go wrong. We highlight lessons for contract management https://t.co/JbsNoCZphj

Beautiful sunrise illuminating Scrabo tower, County Down. Worth the early start to capture this. #weather #sunrise #sunset #scrabo #NorthernIreland #Ireland #landscapephotography

@RhonddaBryant I hope the point about post-ABI addiction will be addressed. After an ABI my husband became alcoholic, fell down stairs & is now epileptic and has limited mobility - he now costs the NHS vastly more than if it had addressed his drinking early on. Both our lives are wrecked.

Local government faces a pivotal year in 2019 with numerous difficult issues to resolve at a time of budget cuts and growing social care needs. NAO Executive Leader Abdool Kara blogs about the challenges and risks: https://t.co/Yp04a6EOVn

[National Audit Office @NAOorguk]

From Carillion's collapse, to failures within Capita’s £1 billion of public contracts, recent NAO reports starkly reiterate the importance of information in managing contracts. Government should ask searching questions of contractors – and of itself. https://t.co/yu90Gm7nsk

[Sir Jeremy Hunt MP @Jeremy_Hunt]

Really good news that Nazanin has been released on furlough, credit to tireless campaigning by husband Richard and her friends. But being in prison AT ALL is gross injustice and she must be PERMANENTLY released for which every effort will continue @FreeNazanin

.@BBCr4today good to hear the in-depth focus on #homelessness and mention of @NAOorguk's report, see its blog: What’s behind the growing number of rough sleepers? https://t.co/Hq9eNiCnLu

Terrible news on #InternationalCatDay2018
There was a snow leopard called amur
Who couldn't find her amour
She called from her lair,
but none was there
That poor rare & lonely leopard amur

[BBC Wildlife @WildlifeMag]

#InternationalCatDay
World’s most endangered cat infected with a fatal canine disease

This revelation, published in a scientific journal earlier this year, could spell disaster for the last few remaining Amur leopards: https://t.co/YBAxxdgOHw
