@Essex_Travel Hello. I'm a local BBC News journalist. Is this a photo from the National Highways cameras?

[Peter Walker @petewalkerbbc]

@fc_writtle Yep, can't argue with that. Plus - best legs in Writtle.

[Peter Walker @petewalkerbbc]

@Lewiskr_ @Lewiskr_ Please also specify if you'd like a name credited to the photos, and if so, how it should appear? i.e. your full name.

[Peter Walker @petewalkerbbc]

@Lewiskr_ Thanks - I should have specified. This is for the BBC News website, and possible regional TV (Look East)

What a clip – unimaginable when I first started cycling in London. No special occasion, just people getting to work

Lot of nonsense spouted about “trial by media” re Russell Brand.
The media has no power to try and/or convict. Rightly. But it has a responsibility to research, reveal and expose wrongdoing. Which it has in the Brand investigation by @Channel4 @thetimes — responsibly and thoroughly in this case. It is proper journalism which so-called alternative media (like Brand himself these days) has neither the patience nor resource nor expertise to carry it. It just bloviates and spreads conspiracies based on fake news while the much-despised mainstream media still does the necessary heavy lifting.

@intenserecords 👏Hi swimming friend!

[Patrick Butler @patrickjbutler]

The Thurrock council review refers to the dogged work of @Gareth_Davies09 and @TBIJ in revealing the scale of the scandal and attempting to hold councillors to account. Naturally, Thurrock's leaders scoffed at and ignored the reports and ploughed on regardless.

[Peter Walker @petewalkerbbc]

@SNCFVoyageurs Bonsoir. Avez-vous une adresse e-mail? It is about an upcoming booking.

[Peter Walker @petewalkerbbc]

@Gareth_Davies09 The BBC has a voluntary one-day course on interviewing/working with traumatised people, which a regional corr set up off her own back. But something similar should absolutely be an undergraduate/NCTJ or industry standard.

Flood of 1953: Joan remembers her father playing piano while the water rose. Powerful piece from ⁦@petewalkerbbc⁩ https://t.co/p6PggukUKN

[PoliticsJOE @PoliticsJOE_UK]

BBC boss Tim Davie has to explain the concept of impartiality to Tory MP Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, after he accuses Radio 4's Today programme of being "unremittingly negative towards this country".

[Nick Harris @sportingintel]

Your own GOAT will always be yours, whether Best or Messi, CR7 or the original Ronaldo, or Maradona, or Cruyff or Zidane, or Eusebio or so many more. Fair enough. But do watch this: Pelé did it first.
