My view through the studio glass of the #BBCWato team in Westminster today!

'Some people have described it as the most disturbing TV show of the year.'

Richard Gadd, writer and star of Netflix's Baby Reindeer which draws on his real-life experience of being stalked, tells #BBCWato it was ‘exhausting but cathartic’ to make.

Loss-making media monsters like the Telegraph and Spectator should be allowed to fail. They lose vast amounts of money and have a limited readership, but they're allowed to survive in order to peddle right wing influence. Shut them down.

Judge our commitment to pensioners on our results, Mel Stride tells Sarah Montague The World at One. So far your commitment to compensating #WASPI #1950swomen for proven Department for Work and Pensions State Pension
Maladministration has shamefully amounted to zilch, Sec of State. #bbcwato

#bbcr4today #bbcwato #bbcpm #bbcaq just think about this...

'The Government does not have a right to confidentiality when the law is being broken.'

Our Global Solidarity Spokesperson Carne Ross speaks to #BBCWATO about the need for legal advice on whether Israel has breached humanitarian law to be made public.

Sadler's Wells has launched the Rose International Dance Prize, an award for choreography they hope will become as well-known as the Turner Prize for art.

Choreographer Akram Khan tells #BBCWato the audience the competition attracts is as important as the works.

At 76, veteran runner Harry Hunter has just become the oldest Brit to complete the Marathon des Sables - a 155-mile, seven day running race through the Sahara desert.

🏃‍♂️ He tells #BBCwato he's still 'too young' to retire.

The UK government is refusing to release legal advice on whether Israel has breached humanitarian law in Gaza.

Former Foreign Office whistleblower Carne Ross is urging civil servants to leak the document.

Alba leader Alex Salmond tells #BBCWATO that the outgoing Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf was still trying to do a deal with his party at 0730 this morning - well after rumours of his resignation were circulating.

Rob Blackie, the Liberal Democrat candidate for the London mayoral election, discusses his plan for green energy, and challenges the Deputy Foreign Secretary to 'walk through Kigali' at 2am, after the minister said Rwanda's capital is safer than London.

The impact of mobile phones on young people 'is a race out of control.'

Baroness Cavendish, former Downing Street Policy Advisor to PM David Cameron, tells Sarah Montague why it's important we're not raising a generation of 'zombies'.

#wato Here's another free speech issue to scratch our heads about. #bbcwato twitter.com/MxVivianWulf/s…

Katie Neeves was on #bbcwato insisting that JKR had committed a hate crime (and that he never stole his sister's knickers) while patronising and mansplaining from a great height.

Some of these men will not stand down, but may, hopefully, be a little less cocksure in the future.

Spectator Chairman Andrew Neil tells #BBCWato he's 'very pleased' that legislation to stop foreign governments from owning UK newspapers was introduced, as an Abu Dhabi-backed bid to take over the Daily and Sunday Telegraph newspapers falls through.

Sunak’s Rwanda decoy:

- may breach international law;
- is expensive and impractical;
- is unproven as a deterrent; and
- is not something British voters want or asked for.

Did I just hear your journalist say trans is a protected characteristic? That’s simply not true& you’re adding to the confusion not clarifying it. Children’s biological sex remains their legal sex, end of. Changing sex isn’t possible other than by adults by legal fiction #bbcwato

James Cleverly's own mother is an immigrant from Sierra Leone who worked as a midwife.

Under Cleverly's own rules, had he been born before his low paid mother immigrated to the UK, he'd be banned from coming here as one of her dependents.

I don't believe Boris Johnson was 'too stupid', or didn't understand the science because he hadn't studied any since he was 15, he didn't take it in because he didn't care and it bored him. #wato #bbcwato #Vallance

Ivan McKee absolutely correct on R4 World at One, saying 'Patrick Harvey calls everyone he doesn't agree with 'right-wing' :))
True and funny !
