for want of better jests, a true word

@JonnyDymond and @amolrajan have got to be the perfect breakfast combo. @BBCr4today #r4today

@bbceastenders I haven’t watched Eastenders for about 20 years but it’s ok. When I caught the end of it today there was Cindy Beale talking about Den and Angie with Ian looking on like a wet weekend.

Vanessa Clarke: Education Correspondent? Hmmmmm. School free meals sounds like a great plan!! A picnic perhaps or maybe just plain honest-to-goodness greasy spoon. #r4today @BBCRadio4

Listening to all this, makes me celebrate the real political nonsense of #DeadRingers @bbcradio4

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer has resigned as Prime Minister of the UK

I rest my case. @FraserNelson

The vote for Keir Starmer was a negative vote: just get rid of the Tories. Is the vote for Andy Burhham more positive or is it just another vote to get rid of what we don’t like at the moment. #bbcaq

Rare I get 20/20 for anything: I still use a rotary phone 😁

I got 8 points,you?

Well if we can’t have @bbcpaddy then @MattChorley is not a bad sub. @BBCRadio4

@bbclaurak No one seems to be making a fuss about how long these victims had to wait for this rock in the face. The horror of the event AND the agony at the hands of the ‘justice’ system.

[Duchess of Figgsbury @figgsbury]

@timminchin making perfect sense going round in circles @hayfestival - AI hitting the target but missing the point. Pretend ‘Art’ @BBCRadio4 #r4today

[Duchess of Figgsbury @figgsbury]

@JamesMelville I’ll raise you a shemozzle.

[Duchess of Figgsbury @figgsbury]

I’m house hunting. Let me know if you hear of anything in Borchester, Barchester or St Mary Mead. Would take affordable housing in Dibley too. Thanks. @BBC @TrollopeSociety @agathachristie

[Duchess of Figgsbury @figgsbury]

Maybe it’s the cooking, or maybe it’s the bikes, or the music, or maybe it’s just the great story telling that always warms us to @sikingofficial #DID @BBCRadio4

The inherent contradiction in SEND provision: how to refine a system supporting the increasing number of children who need something additional to/ different from their peers to achieve relative success while schools are judged on achieving academic sameness. #r4today #SEND

We all heard it: #adrianchiles will be dressing as a snow drop this time next year. One for the calendar. #SaturdayMotivation @BBCRadio4

Dear Mr Starmer. I’m an old lady who keeps up with the news in the old fashioned way: no fancy vetting just listening to the radio and reading the papers. Back in September it was obvious even to me that appointing #Mandelson was a spectacularly bad idea. What were you thinking?

[Duchess of Figgsbury @figgsbury]

‘The talent was worth the risk.’ @peterkyle Government speak for ‘Gamble til we’re found out.’ Worth having such a ‘significant’ connection with The Donald. #PresidentTrump #Epstein @BBCRadio4 @bbcpaddy

For goodness sake, go and have a biscuit.
