The late Gerald Kaufman used to be MP for Gorton years ago! A visiting American dignitary at a Labour Conference was overheard saying ‘ Jesus - he looks like he’s the Mayor of Miami’ when he saw how he was dressed #r4today

Nobody organises Highland Games on Burns Night - not even the owner of a shortbread distillery in Auchenshuggle (and you can’t get more Scottish than that)! #TheArchers

Not been on #TheArchers hashtag for a while because my place has been refurbished, redecorated, new furniture and tomorrow - new carpets. That’s everything done but it’s been a lot to manage as anyone will know who has been through such a thing! Normal service from here on in (well tomorrow really)!

Burns Night! Shortbread will be consumed by me - not haggis! Think a famous scotsman once said “I’d sooner drink pigs vomit than eat that stuff” or it might have been Abraham Lincoln who whilst not Scottish was very erudite - so yes, it was probably him! #TheArchers

Said it yesterday and still predict - Sinners with a record 16 Oscar nominations will turn out to be mostly hype and leave the ceremony all but empty handed - like that daft Emilia Perez last year! #r4today

Elon Musk blathering on about AI and robots at Davos! All human needs will be taken care of with a superabundance of monkey butlers - one to start with but he’ll train others! Yup - that’s definitely going to happen! #bbcpm

Wondering if Sinners - with the most Oscar nominations in history will turn out to be a load of old nonsense and garner very few awards at the actual ceremony like that daft Emilia Perez last year? Have a funny feeling that’s going to be the case! #bbcpm

Of course nobody deserves to be hit over the head and hospitalised but in reality they wouldn’t be spending this much time and effort on this as if were attempted murder - he was drunk on New Year’s Eve so it would be categorised as a pub fight - lowish priority despite his injury #TheArchers

Trump is like the old codger in the nursing home who can no longer distinguish between fact and fiction “I sent the message back to base ‘Broadsword calling Danny Boy’ so they knew the mission was go - then on the cable car with Clint Eastwood I shot ten Nazis - you never saw anything like it!’ #lbc

Plastic patriots banging on about the Chagos Islands again - don’t even know which part of the Pacific Ocean they’re in - North South East or West - near Pitcairn or Polynesia? Actually nowhere near there - they’re in the Indian Ocean (and yes - I had to look it up)! #r4today
