Brokey was the best of politics and the best of humanity — twice my boss, who became like a brother. He combined integrity, humanity, diligence and fun like no one else. Three weeks ago we danced around his kitchen to Nicky Minaj. I can’t believe he’s gone. #TeamBrokeyForever

Factually incorrect. Rep. Ritchie Neal is NOT a “guarantor” of the Belfast Agreement. Neither is the Irish government a “co-guarantor” with the UK Gov’t. This phrase has zero constitutional or legal basis and is used frequently, unquestioningly and — sometimes — disingenuously.

I’m on holiday from @TalkTV until Saturday 28th October at 10am. I’ll probably stay off Twitter and other social media for most, if not all, of that time. See you on Sat 28th, I hope — would be great to have your company. The excellent @nickdebois holding the fort next weekend.

Columnist Sarah Vine aka @WestminsterWAG writes: “Ghislaine Maxwell faces 60 years for being what essentially amounts to an upper class madame.” Really? Maxwell was trafficking 14-year-old children to be raped by paedophiles, so, no, it doesn’t “essentially amount” to that.

The NI Executive missed a huge opportunity by not appointing @SueGrayDOF its head. The reform she would have implemented would have healed the wounds of RHI. Now she is understandably off to be the Number 2 at the Cabinet Office and will do a fantastic job.

Speaking of ignorance, 11th November is the Saturday and Remembrance Day, the 11th of the 11th. The Sunday, as the nearest Sunday to Remembrance Day, is Remembrance Sunday. The march is planned for the Saturday. Also, worth remembering, as your bio states, to 'be kind always'.

Who says NI politicians don’t have a sense of humour? Deputy First Minister Emma @little_pengelly , a former @pcportadown student, was at the 100th celebrations tonight. The former DUP SpAd won a raffle prize. From the many (much better) raffle prizes Emma chose… my book.

Delighted Talk Radio RAJAR listenership figures show a record number of people listening to my show on Saturdays 10am and 1pm. Numbers up 33% on last quarter and up 6% year-on-year. My top team including @gabryhella , @djrcreative and @NehaSuryavansh_ key part of show's success.

A real pleasure to see my former @mssocietyNI Council buddy Pat Crossley this afternoon for a cuppa. At the age of 81, Pat is still volunteering with MS and many other organisations including the @RNLI (60 years volunteering!). Pat is a remarkable, inspirational and kind person.

You have been a total star: a brilliant political correspondent with superb analysis, insight, contacts and nous, a consummate broadcaster, a diligent, hilarious, loyal colleague and friend. Whoever snaps up @alicia_fitzg will be very lucky. Go forth and kick ass, Alicia!

With Christmas coming up, the perfect stocking filler is The Secret Life of Special Advisers, my book about my life in Westminster with Boris, Theresa, Rishi & Dom. £10 for signed copy, posted anywhere in the UK. DM me before 10th December to order. Final time I will do this.

Dear @BBCNews website/app — excellent to see this as your top story, as the Post Office victims should 100% be cleared and fully compensated immediately. But perhaps use a photo of the actual victims, rather than the actors portraying them?

It's just one hour until the launch of @TalkTV ! I'm really looking forward to continuing to broadcast on the network -- on TV, on radio, on YouTube, on apps, you name it! -- as Talk Radio Political Editor and presenter of my Saturday morning programme.

What an incredible, fascinating and very special evening at the @TowerOfLondon with @spike_abbott , one of the Beefeaters who very kindly invited my mother and me to see the ancient Ceremony of the Keys, which has been performed for over 730 years every single night. Wonderful!
