Very busy day!!
Feel for the producers of BBC Radio 4’s Last Word with @Bannmatt who now have to throw out all the work for tomorrow’s show and scramble to reflect the lives of #Henry_Kissinger #ShaneMacGowan and #AlastairDarling. Pray no other public figures die today!

Incredible to think Michael Parkinson suffered from imposter syndrome, not just at the start of his career, but right throughout! So pleased to have produced this edition of Last Word and really happy it has been covered so widely It's a great listen: bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qpm…

Great treat to be able to visit JLR in Solihull today. The company is betting its future on a big plan to go up market and all-electric. It's not without risk. We'll hear about it on @BBCPM at 5. Plus all the days news.
