No one from the government has appeared on @Channel4News for three weeks, and for the entire week we have not been given the opportunity to ask a question at the press conference. Extraordinary lack of engagement during a global crisis. #coronavirus

Ridiculous (but sadly predictable) that people are cross with #Nazanin for speaking her mind. She was plenty grateful for being released (and spent quite some time exhaustively thanking people) but justifiably angry that she lost six precious years in jail. Wouldn’t you be?

It’s deeply depressing that so many politicians are either refusing to answer questions in interviews or avoiding interviews altogether. Surely an election campaign in a functioning democracy is about being prepared to be challenged on your policies so voters can decide? #GE2019

Forgive me if you find this shocking. The image of little Alan Kurdi washed up on a Mediterranean beach 4 years ago shamed the world. But nothing changed. Now Oscar Martinez Ramirez & his baby daughter Valeria have lost their lives. Will this new outrage now force global action?

Presenters wrongly named in the #BBC story are understandably furious. One told me they felt they’d been ‘hung out to dry’ by management. Not before time, BBC DG has condemned inaccurate speculation on social media…

And it almost goes without saying - if you're the guy Patrick Hutchinson lifted on his shoulders we'd love to hear from you to pass on your gratitude.

An extraordinary act of heroism which showed a divided nation how to unite against racism. Watch @Channel4News at 5.30 for our full interview with #BLM protester Patrick Hutchinson.

Some replies to what I thought was an unremarkable tweet tell you quite a lot about the level of vitriol the #BBC attracts in some quarters. Though I work for a “rival” broadcaster, it’s sad so many fail to appreciate what a treasure the BBC is/is seen to be across the globe.

This is incredibly sad and really worrying at a time when democracy and media freedoms around the world are under threat. The work public service broadcasters do is more crucial now than ever.

Hmmm I asked the transport secretary a few robust questions and now my train home is delayed. Is that karma? #ChrisGrayling

Happy #IWD2018 So much to celebrate BUT while two women in England & Wales are killed by a current/former partner EVERY WEEK, while men earn 18% more than women & while only a third of MPs are female, there’s much to fight for too.

Former chancellor Lord Clarke also tells me it would be “appalling” to cut inheritance tax for the rich if the working people on benefits have to pay for it.

In light of controversy around the #BBC chairman appointment I’m reposting this investigation I did before Christmas. Members of honours committees alleged pressure was put on them to approve gongs for Conservative Party supporters and donors
