@IainDale
. There’s no better tutor. I will never be able to thank him enough for the daily advice and guidance and support and I’ll really miss working with him. But what fun it’s been. Enjoy the next adventure, boss!
Whenever we spoke to Sir David Amess on LBC, he was unfailingly kind and warm to everyone backstage. A properly decent bloke.
My thoughts go out to his parliamentary team - my memory of Sir David will always be him laughing with them like they were family
I am incredibly proud to be returning to

@SteveAllenShow
is the kindest, most hilarious fella I’ve ever worked with. Working on his show has been like joining a family, with such devoted listeners. I’m determined that the Groovy Gang ™️ will live on and our afternoon tea will go ahead! It must!
Absolutely delighted to have today signed a new long term contract with

It's a brilliant radio station and I am so proud to be part of a team which is at the top of its game.

Hilary Devey was obviously enormously successful and knew the world of logistics like the back of her hand. But producers everywhere will remember her for being kind. She was wonderful. And very wise. She spoke to me like her equal. One day I hope to be!
And a huge congratulations to you,

In short, the biggest portion of Chinese-born workers work in professional occupations, with just 5% working in caring, leisure and other service occupations. Your joke isn’t based on fact, it’s based on lazy stereotype. It’s racist, I’m afraid. (3)
Captain Tom Moore went to Barbados. But he:
- is not a politician, nor a journalist;
- was acting within December rules (different to January’s);
- is an adult (not forced by his family to do anything);
- does not deserve to have COVID-19 (so please stop).

Hi Doug. I’m not entirely sure what reality you’re attempting to describe in the tweet

Matt, you taught me a great deal. Thank you for that. Your book takes pride of place on the coffee table - I really hope this gives you more time for wonderful photography. 🦅
Huge thanks to my team without whom I would not be the presenter you listen to, so it’s big up Corey Luke,Jake Kieron and a cast of thousands I thank you from the bottom of my heart,Merry Christmas Groovy Gang.

Some sort of incident occurring here in Colindale. Big police presence, air ambulance crew in attendance. One person carried out of the McDonald’s on a stretcher.
Today I found a tiny newt on the drive, it wasn’t going to make it but I couldn’t put it out of its misery. I cried before thinking what would my mum do? I held it, got it a newt-size tot of brandy and left it on a rock. It’s gone now but not in pain I hope. Thank you mum 😘

I’ve produced some handy charts for you, where the top one indicates the proportions of jobs done by Chinese-born workers in England and Wales, and the bottom indicates the proportions of jobs done by UK-born workers... (2)
Whilst I’m sad to be moving away from these shows, I’m really excited to get stuck in with the Iain Dale team. They’re a lovely, super-talented and supportive bunch and I’m thrilled to be jumping aboard. Thanks for having me

On gazebos, it gets technical... A gazebo that has walls and a roof is “indoors”. BUT if at least 50% of the total wall area is open (i.e. it’s a square and you take two of the detachable sides off), that wouldn’t be “indoors” and you could meet people (in Tier 2).
@eddiemair
Iain always shares the credit. A class act. We’re proud to work with him on this ever-growing beast of a programme.

I really should have mentioned my fantastic team who should take some of the glory for the fantastic audience figures, so step up Thomas,Corey, and Luke, without whom nothing would happen and I mean nothing.
You deserve it Cap! Congratulations on yet another rise in listeners. It’s been such a joy working with you, even if I am just keeping Scottish Boy’s seat warm.

Thanks Iain. I really appreciate the support you’ve given me these past few days. It would have been his birthday today, so raise a glass of Lilt for him if you get the chance. 🍻
