- Mum will often #WhatsApp to ask if I got home ok. Usually get irritated and respond something along lines “I’m not a child”. But today won’t get annoyed, won’t reply sarcastically .. but instead will write straight bk “yes. Love you”. #SarahEverard
- One of nicest men in television - we’re always with you George
- Mum sent me this. #Sikh community providing stranded #lorrydrivers with meals. Feeding others is at heart of south asian culture, and it’s a beautiful thing
- One tory MP’s voice trembles with rage as he tells me “Williamson is a nasty b****** and knows where the skeletons are buried. He’s given me a few sleepless nights. Yeah politics is about being tough and pushing ppl to do what you want them to but this is on another level”
- BREAK - High court rules govt’s use of “VIP lane” to give contracts for supply of PPE to two companies during first wave of pandemic was unlawful
- Well done to 14 yr old Molly who won mobile phone pic category of @RSPCA_official young photographer of year. Love this ..
- Hearing mood in no 10 is terrible ahead of make or break week for PM ..
- We’ve really struggled to get Tory MP to come on #Newsnight to talk about allegations of sexual misconduct around HoC. Offer still open. One female tory MP messaged to say:
- Apologies to our guests who we had to send home without putting on air after myself and team were subjected to racist and abusive behaviour - sad obstruction of reporting of a national crisis. Yes I’m furious
- Bit of job news: Delighted to be appointed UK Editor for @BBCNewsnight - opportunity to do more high impact investigative journalism that matters to viewers & wider public. Sure bags under eyes will worsen & late dinners will provide more heartburn but can’t wait to start in Jan
