A trip alongside @hannahcapella & @JackFSlater to Great Yarmouth in Norfolk today — to listen to our collective, conflicted conversation about migration. Brill production from @AliceEThompson too bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

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

Morning — I’m heading for Indonesia today following the Prime Minister to the G20 Summit. Here’s my quick lookahead, but first it’s @bbclaurak talking to the Chancellor & Shadow Chancellor, among others, on @BBCOne shortly bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

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.

Kudos to @AliceEThompson for coining the phrase of the day: GRAY-JA VU.

‘He’s a bit of a clown’ ‘I still have belief in Boris Johnson’ ‘We got carried away on a wave of enthusiasm’ ‘I defy anybody to get what we’ve been through right’ A year after MPs backed an election, @AliceEThompson⁩ & I went to see how folks feel bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-5…

‘A bad trade deal is bad for public health’ ⁦@jamieoliver⁩ tells me why despite government promises that food standards won’t slip, he’s worried.

He’ll hate the fuss, but our whole Westminster team will miss him enormously. That laser-like focus on why a story matters, told with a wonderful turn of phrase and the odd sound effect to keep us all entertained. Best wishes for life away from the microphone @BBCNormanS
For more years than I can count, the 6.35am political summary by Norman Smith has provided priceless moments of clarity, calm and insight. @BBCr4today just announced that it is his last day. I will miss @BBCNormanS's scoops and sanity in equal measure. Best of luck, Norman.

“It is not too late. We have an interview prepared. Oven-ready, as Mr Johnson likes to say” Andrew Neil issues a challenge for Boris Johnson to commit to an interview with him, to face questions on why people have “deemed him to be untrustworthy” bbc.in/2sP9AxU

If you haven’t yet been stopped in the street by a reporter and asked for your opinion on Brexit, please don’t worry. We now have six additional months to find you. And we will.
