Really sad to learn George Alagiah has died. He's probably more famous as a newsreader these days, but it was his brilliant reporting from around the world that made him a superstar reporter. Cancer is a bastard. Huge loss for @bbcnews and no doubt his family and friends.

Transphobia is revolting. But is that what we're talking about here? It's interesting that Jenni Murray was effectively sacked by #WomensHour for voicing an opinion. Whereas Anita seems to be under no constraint. Is the BBC impartial on this, or is impartiality not applicable?

@JoeBrolly1993 Joe (& others) assume that those with concerns over the Trans issues must be right wing. Whether it's fair sport, worries over puberty blockers or men entering safe space for women. Dismissing genuine concerns, points to either a lack of respect for debate or an ingrained sexism.

@Sanji5PTTP @maryilyushina "Belarus" isn't helping. Its dictatorship is helping. Ordinary Belarusians want freedom and democracy. And they want Ukraine to win.

@SykesCharlie Reverse also applies. Under Trump, Covid deaths were almost cheered as proof of his idiocy. In the UK, some remainers secretly hope the UK economy is hurt by Brexit. Just as some Brexit voters are pleased to see the EU's vaccine programme struggle. Collectively, we've gone crazy.

@BirdyBooky @RoisinMichaux @JohnBoyneBooks True. I guess I'm just noting the shifting tide. Though the silence from comedians at Edinburgh, when @glinner 's venues blocked him, shows that it's still considered too risky by many to stand up and support the principle of free speech in public.

@Peston The EU negotiates as a bunch. How can UK "favour" one EU country over another? A few military deals won't cut any ice. Whole story tonight barely deserves to be called silly. #Brexit

@Aannor @rogermcgivern @SkySports You're likely a 12 year old, who has never understood the concept of "less is more". To win a World Cup should be hard, and as rare as hens teeth. The joy of a WC is its rarity value.

Tonight #channel4news gave the New IRA a platform and then interviewed people to ask if the people they interviewed should be taken seriously. After tonight, it's C4News that won't be taken seriously. #Brexit #IrishBorder

@rcolvile @calvinrobinson Robinson is a 21st Century phenomenon. Perfect for a certain section of the right wing media. Opinions that claim to be about "common sense" but actually the ravings of an ill informed attention seeker. Sadly, he'll keep get attention despite (perhaps because) he's ridiculous.

There's so much breaking news at the moment. But we could all do with stopping and thinking about this story. 39 nine souls, have been killed trying to find a better life. And similar is happening every day in the Med and the Channel. Grotesque. #39Dead

So Paul Scully doesn't remember Boris Johnson's comments but he's here to explain them. This is another Kafka like interview. Boris apparently apologises for everything and nothing apparently. #r4today

@EwanMacKenna @AerLingus Is this really a particularly important question... at this point? Suspect it's being done for cost. But, we journalists have to stop behaving like every action requires the full Woodward and Bernstein. People are (mostly) just doing their best to respond in weird times.

Half an hour to go before @recreoficial vs Cacereño. Huge play off game for the oldest football club in Spain. I got myself a spare ticket via Twitter! Atmosphere is superb. For now! Might look different if #recre lose. 🤞

Good analysis from @anandMenon1 on #BBCPM . If @UKLabour wants to give UK economy a major boost by changing post #Brexit arrangements, only rejoining the Single Market will touch the sides. Veterinary deals don't cut it. Lab's leadership is terrified about even hinting at this.

#Germany & other EU states have assumed that the choice to import gas from #Russia is their's & #Putin 's. Ukrainians may make the decision for them. Last night's fire at the #Bryansk oil pumping station is ominous. No one could blame #Ukraine for cutting Moscow's money tap.

@BBCNews Some language used by the media, is at best, unconsciously biased. Headlines usually hint that a withdrawal of labour (and associated inconvenience) is where a dispute starts. Management (or Gov) intransigence (if applicable) never gets as much attention in those headlines.

@WalshFreedom You're now attacking Israel's leading newspaper for reporting on what has been reported! You've lost the plot. Haaretz isn't saying it's a fact. It attributes the claim. That's journalism. Wise up Joe.

👇👇 Probably because @davidallengreen was instinctively a Maastricht Brexiteer, he is able to be clear eyed about the modern variety of Brexiteers. This is probably his best thread ever. Failure to understand the law is central cause of #Brexit shambles. And it continues to be.
