First30: Our attempt to spice up the picture offering for when Johnson faced questioning by the Parliamentary Committee of Privileges. Producer @AliceEThompson and I spent hours in a smelly unused edit suite swearing at impertinent dominos for this. 🖊️: @ChrisMasonBBC

Showing off the first 30 seconds of our news packages to demonstrate where much of my effort goes as a shoot/edit. This one from our Edinburgh coverage of UK Gov overruling a new Scottish law on gender recognition. Words: @ChrisMasonBBC Prod: @AliceEThompson #First30

Hooray best news
Appreciate there’s a lot of news around today but this is huge for me! It is a total privilege to be the new host of a show I’ve loved and listened to for years, and to be joining the R4 presenting team.

A week is a long time in politic(al journalism). Endless running around SW1 with @ChrisMasonBBC covering resignations, leadership bids/fails and sweaty launches. All expertly produced by @PaulTwinn and @AliceEThompson. A mashup of a mad week below.
