Good luck and thanks Nick Robinson for taking over Sunday’s show. My lovely dad has just died and I am out of action

- Personal announcement. After 21 years, I have decided to move on from the BBC.l leave behind many happy memories and wonderful colleagues. But from the New Year I am moving to Global to write and present political and cultural shows, and to write for newspapers
- Thoughtful of Boris Johnson and the Lib Dems to arrange a little something to talk about for my final outing on BBC television on Sunday. Thanks, all!
- Another extraordinary thing about Shirley Williams. As prisons minister, in 1966, she wanted to find out what life was really like for women inside: so she persuaded the authorities to lock her up in Holloway on a pretended prostitution charge. Who would do that now?
- After poor health times - big stroke, cancer etc - great health moment. Got my vaccine shot. Fast, easy, hyper efficient, London NHS at warp speed. When you get the call, don’t hesitate
- I think British politics and public life are going to go through an even more turbulent decade, and as I’ve said, I am keen to get my own voice back.
- “who voted for it?” Is for me the key question; no real answer from the PM
- This cartoon is the single most poignant act of journalism about today thus farIncredibly poignant cartoon by @mortenmorland in today’s Times. If you know someone who lives alone, perhaps bereaved, for whom today may hit especially hard, perhaps give them a ring later on 🖤
- Look away if you’re eating lunch, or about to. Calm and measured assessment of the mood in the Commons from a Tory MP: “we are being offered the choice of a shit sandwich… Or a shit sandwich with extra shit.”
- Remember this so wellHere is ex-Tory PM, John Major… Predicting exactly what would happen with our NHS Just another great, big, woke, lefty liberal…
