Menzies Campbell was one of the last of a breed of gentlemen-politicians.

He spoke carefully, dressed properly, lived dutifully and carried himself with an integrity that now seems from another age.

My notes on my dealings with an incredible man:-

[Charlotte Callen @chcallen]

He was a wonderfully kind man. He always made time to talk, and listen. A very valuable skill in a politician.

[James Landale @BBCJLandale]

A huge loss. Ming was courteous, as many have noted, but he was also immensely kind. I had the same cancer as him & he called me the day of every treatment, cycle after cycle, sharing advice, gossip & reassurance.

Abusive and controlling bully Stuart Hogg sentenced. His poor wife living in fear. All fuelled by alcohol. Too many women live in fear in their own home. Broken by men. We must stand up against it. #domesticabuse

This is a brilliant podcast and well worth a listen. It was one of the most gripping stories to cover as a journalist. I spent many a long day in Salisbury. @AndyLHoward fantastic podcast. Excellent story telling, as always. Congrats. 🙌🏻

6 years on from the #Novichok poisonings in Salisbury, a big question: how did Dawn Sturgess, a mum of 3 from Wiltshire, end up being killed by a chemical weapon?

Our @BBCSounds podcast with @marieklennon & @DanOB1986 will follow the inquiry. Listen now:
