This is the guy on Radio4's PM programme, Dragons' Den and the Bottom Line. These are only my views - the BBC has no views.

So.. guess what. Having survived several years of people saying "you're not as good as Jeremy Paxman", I now look forward to people saying "you're not as good as Eddie Mair". I'll be moving to @BBCPM at the end of October

Just missed my tube stop reading tweets from people thinking that I'm a secret far right racist (and one who's happy to be used in Britain First campaigning material). It is so ridiculous that I haven't wanted to dignify it by saying any more than my original clarification. 1/5

OK folks.. if you listen to @BBCPM, you will know we've been working up a list of things we can do to improve our political coverage. Here is the result. Note Number 10 - that we are not fixed on this list. #openpolitics Also: youtube.com/watch?v=Oav-tD…

Agree with her or not, @courtneyact is the most articulate advocate for respecting all kinds of gender / sexual identity that I've encountered. It's a pity that we at @BBCNewsnight have never featured her, while @channel5_tv have made weeks of good TV out of her.

Well well well. The Fixed Term Parliament Act worked well didn't it.

I'm in a good mood, I have music playing and I just found myself doing the @theresa_may dance. I can't help but feel this has been her best week since the election. In dancing, she's found a metaphor for her premiership... doing her awkward best in an impossible situation

Everyone one of us who has ever worked on @BBCNewsnight are proud to have been associated with it.. It has always attracted some of the very best in British journalism - with some stunning films, prescient analysis and brilliant reporting. All with flair and wit. 1/3

After two weeks (timed to the hour) I am now leaving quarantine and taking Mr Whippy to the park. Joy.

Sir Patrick Vallance's interviews make clear that it's not the behaviourists who are in control of policy. Many feared social scientists were running the show but it seems epidemiologists are actually the ones talking of herd immunity. Maybe right or wrong, but it's not amateurs

But to be clear: the photo isn't a fake; it's the attempt to read my politics into it that's wrong. Overall, I think if I was a happy clappy far right racist, I'd avoid posing for photos with racists. Or campaigning publicly with them, as it would breach my BBC contract. 5/5

John Humphrys really deserves all the accolades. I found that the more I saw him at work on @BBCr4today close up, the more I respected him and understood why he had such enduring appeal. Way more to him than the adversarial interviews people talk about. #humphryslastday

It is Mr Whippy's 7th birthday today 🎂. He is not really aware of such things, but here he is enjoying a chewy snack. As you'll see, he derives enormous pleasure from simple things and is thus easily fulfilled in life, which provides a lesson to us all at this difficult time

Please someone.. organise a huge citizen's assembly this weekend. 100 members of the public, a day long session with the options explained, advocates given the chance to sell their case, expert guidance on the implications. I so want to know what the public's considered views are
