Just @StigAbell getting progressively angrier as he’s forced to read out the Clacton by-election candidates.

It’s starting! to feel real now! Rig Week has begun at the @RoyalAlbertHall, ahead of the launch of the @bbcproms on Friday. Our brilliant team is laying cables, setting up the tech, and getting ready for the world’s biggest classical music festival 🎶
I thought I'd give X another go. New account, blocking bots every time they follow. After a month I have two human followers (hi), and have blocked 15 bots. Elon love, I don't think this is going to work out.

The procurement process for the Department for Education’s (DfE’s) National Centre for Arts and Music Education has been delayed, it is understood. artsprofessional.co.uk/news/…
My X feed this morning is 99% people shouting at Lisa Nandy that they can't believe she doesn't want to hang around here to be shouted at any more

Finn Family Moomintroll, the sunniest of @ToveJansson1914’s Moomin books, has been brought to radio by the brilliant team behind the first three.
@JohnFinnemore returns as Moomintroll, I’m Moominpappa again (and also giving my Groke). Hope you enjoy it bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002y8z…
Having flashbacks to hosting Gordon Brown's first speech as PM at the @UniWestminster all those years ago. Still makes the pulse quicken. Big day for the People's History Museum tomorrow, @bernarddonoghue!
I will be one of many who agree with Roger, and I will be one of many who used to listen to The World Tonight regularly, who is now fortunate to catch a bit of it, once a month.
We lost something rigorous when Newsnight was shrunk, but we gained something much more watchable 1/3
It may be a vain hope, but my hope is that the pain is part of a transition to something that is still a world class journalistic outlet, which has successfully transitioned out of linear broadcasting, as it will need to.
The road's been bumpy, but there's a lot to be proud of.

Tonight it felt like she'd keep on playing forever.
Happy retirement, when it comes, to Dame Imogen.
