#oasis25. Ok. I didn’t get tickets. Sore about that and particularly @Ticketmaster dealings with everything. But then I listen to “Stay With Me” by The Faces and I thought - Oasis weren’t the only great Rock ‘n’ Roll band.

#newsagents . I’m originally from Eastwood in #LeeAnderson constituency. I have also been a BBC journalist and understand Westminster politics. To understand Anderson some London journalists need to get out of London, go to places like Eastwood and talk to people.

@herdyshepherd1 Yes - saw all the snow on the fells this weekend while in your neck of the Lakes and thought of your farming. Good luck.

#autobahn #joydivision I had my hip scanned today by MRI. Usually they play BBC Radio 2 in my headphones. This time I heard the industrial magnets and thought what would Martin Hannett do with those sounds? Went home and listened to Kraftwerk.

Hundreds of postmasters will finally have their convictions quashed following an ITV #postofficescandal drama. But File on 4 told this dreadful story FOUR years ago. https://t.co/0hZ9oR04qJ

I watched this guy today while waiting for Manchester Central library to open. OK - his PA was loud but he wasn’t threatening or violent or rude and he was on his own. This kind of protest is against the law apparently.

[4th July - Tory wipe Out @snb19692]

The Tory Police of Manchester are interfering with our protest again. We now have new sanctions including a map of where we can protest. Police State?#CPC23

@HayleyMortimer That’s shocking to hear Hayley. You shouldn’t be abused for doing your job. Hopefully you’re going to reveal the kind of person Tate really is. Best of luck

When I was 13/14 I heard the Specials for the first time my local comp. Thanks to #terryhall I developed a life long love of reggae and ska. What a talent. What a legacy of great music. Thank you

The cost of living isn’t just happening to adults. Children are missing meals and going without things they need. Watch my film on @BBCiPlayer @BBCNewsround @BBCBreakfast

Tik Tok emerged in the last two years to challenge the former social media giants. The gaming giant #Roblox is huge too. #Fileon4 yet again is one of the first to investigate this emerging gaming giant https://t.co/4x2XnAHhn4

[BBC News (World) @BBCWorld]

Roblox is the most popular gaming platform for kids under 13

But safeguarding charity the NSPCC says it's concerned children are being exposed to inappropriate sexual content on the platform

Listen to #Fileon4 on @BBCRadio4 and @BBCSounds

[Hayley Hassall @HayleyHassall]

Financial exploitation, grooming, gambling and access to inappropriate sexual content. These are the things I’ve found on the childrens computer game Roblox. Listen to my investigation ‘Roblox: A Dangerous Game? On @BBCRadio4 @BBCSounds @bbcworldservice @NSPCC #fileon4

Late on the BBC anniversary tribute thing (busy making a File on 4) but here’s my story: A 15 yr former staffer who worked with inspirational reporters, execs, AP’s and amazing support staff. I know I made a difference. But it’s only because I worked for the Beeb. #Reputation

@AbracadabraRBLX Hi. I'm producing a BBC Radio 4 40 minute documentary about Roblox and we'd like to feature Abracadabra's success story. Please DM me for more details.

@DecLawn @NetflixUK What a watch Declan. We really enjoyed it. It was wonderfully written and cast. Our favourite scene was your female protagonist dismissing the hot guy at the bar. Nice touches with the Tibetan bells and lighthouse. The villain was brilliantly charming and never a caricature.

@PennyMordaunt it’s going to be Penny. I hope you’ll be a decent Tory.

@kevinbridges86 @LiverpoolEmpire My wife and I was at the Liverpool Empire tonight in the upper circle. We couldn’t hear you so left after 15 minutes. We were so disappointed given that we’re such fans of yours. More or bigger speakers at this venue next time?
