James Norton as Father Christmas is aimed entirely at me and my demographic (middle aged women with money to spend in @marksandspencer) and I don't care about this one jot.

Russell Brand used libel and harassment laws for years to suppress revelations about his predatory behaviour. These laws don’t protect ordinary people, they are almost exclusively used by the rich to scare off adverse publicity. Time for reform.

As a Christian, I found the performative nature of Brand's conversion repulsive. Of course we welcome anyone; but conversion can be quiet and private. Selfies, baptisms in pants, social media everywhere... Grim faith washing.

It's really interesting what happens when journalists leave an Ofcom regulated environment (TV news) for an unregulated environment (podcasting), and decide to express their opinions and personality. It can work well. It can also backfire.

Blimey! 😲 The Media Show is usually a polite discussion about the future of broadcasting. This week, I thought Lewis Goodall and Krishnan Guru-Murthy were going to settle it in the BBC car park!

The radio recording of that Learjet crash makes me want to vomit. I really don't think that should be publicly available.

Can I just say, UK people, that we still have bonfire night to do before we can think about Christmas. That is the law, I'm afraid.

Just been to see the new Ghosts movie with my husband and the kids - 16 and 12. We all loved it and came out laughing and feeling buoyed. Perfect family outing. @simonfarnaby

YEP. Right now, my 94-year-old father-in-law, who has dementia, has no functioning phone. It's digital now and hasn't been working since the storms in Cornwall a few days ago. No sign of when it will be fixed. Awful @bt_uk bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6x2…

We are relying on his carers to tell us he's OK. His fall alarm is still working (thank God) as that's 4g, but his wifi has been down for days.

A cautionary tale about the unreliability of AI. It's impossible these days to avoid AI when you search on Google, which is what I did when I wanted to find out which libraries are stocking my novel, My Silent Sister. I was gobsmacked by what it did...

There's something confusing me about the Fly Dubai incident. How did anyone get into the flight deck? Did the injured captain somehow open the door, while he was being attacked?
