This is a nasty piece of reporting: prisoners who are low-risk, in open prisons and near the end of their sentences get day release and do work to rehabilitate. It’s common and reduces reoffending. Goggling at them and implying they are scary isn’t going to help, is it?

Just in case you didn’t know, the BBC’s rules of impartiality apply only when you start working for the BBC. Anything said before that isn’t relevant. That has to be the case: people have opinions, they are engaged in politics... you can’t hire someone who’s never had an opinion.

He was the one doing the accusing, saying The Sun libeled him. And Heard, although she got lots of media attention, wasn't part of this case as such - it was Depp vs The Sun.

This is wonderful: women sharing pics with @janegarvey1 @BBCWomansHour of themselves after birth. Not everyone gets Kate's blow dry and red carpet treatment... but everyone is a hero after creating another human!

Here you are @janegarvey1 Not quite Jenny Packham and the Lindo Wing; more sack dress and lino floor with me and my little boy traumatised after 40 hour labour and emergency caesarean - now where’s my lippy, designer dress and hair stylist? @BBCWomansHour

@dylsharpe (2/2) the broader sense it is still a response to @emwatson ’s speech, that the paper has chosen to print.

I know that lots of good stuff will be done in its name and that’s wonderful, but it is still a form of misinformation and “fake news”, and that should be acknowledged even when it’s something positive!

"You cannot unfortunately take your own risk, you are taking a risk on behalf of everybody else": well pointed-out by Whitty that he says people can't choose to take their own risks and ignore rules, because eventually this will affect someone who is vulnerable.

Amazing scenes on #r4Today discussing cats who visit people other than their owners: Sarah Smith: “I’ve had cats visit me and I’ve always flattered myself that it’s because they enjoy the attention they’re getting” Cat expert: “I think they’re just exploiting you to be honest”

As @CCriadoPerez writes in her great book #InvisibleWomen - social scientists have long said that humans are murderous because humans kill lots of their own species. But is it humans who are murderous... or men? To talk about violence without gender is ridiculous.
