Wow. Chris Mason getting down and actually questioning panellists on #bbcaq. A different programme @BBCRadio4 @BBCNews

#bbcaq a free press doesn't have to be a harassing press. It can be kind as well as investigative.

Have you noticed the huge difference between the #bbcaq audiences on Radio 4 from those of Question Time? Funny that. Could it be to do with the audience of the former is first come first served, when that of the latter is hand-picked by the BBC?

Thought provoking talk on class, the reality of social mobility and how your class follows you around, whatever you do or achieve ... but so what if it does? It's a great talk by Rachel Gibbons!
Really interesting Four Thought on #bbcradio4 re social mobility. Excellent speaker. Thanks Rachel Gibbons. A lot of what you said resonated with me.

A message to Labour's NEC: stop playing bureaucratic games. Lay off @tom_watson and let conference debate our Brexit line democratically. We need a collegiate, open leadership - a conference that speaks to the whole British electorate - and an end to machine politics. – at Thatcham, England

Coup against Tom Watson shows Labour’s unerring instinct for self destruction in the middle of a national crisis. Add this to noxious state of Tory party and you see what Brexit has done to British politics

The core values of the EU are: Internationalism, Solidarity, Freedom. They are British, Labour values. Our future doesn’t need to be Brexit. We can change our future. But only if Labour makes the case for it – and we must. #proudlybritishproudlyeuropean

I know I’m going to get a few pelters for this, but the gigantic Twitter pile on against Laura Kuenssberg is appalling. She is a consummate professional and bloody good at her job. The whole #sacklaurakuenssberg is literally the worst of Twitter wrapped around a hashtag.
