This is one of my best mates Simon de Winter. COVID killed him at 9.24am on the 30th December. His parents wanted you to see this picture of him. Not just a number. Please observe the rules.

Watch that grifter Farage get absolutely taken apart in America in a way I have rarely seen any UK journalist do it. Spread this video far and wide!

You're a grifter and a charlatan and you got exposed by an American politician who called you out in a way hardly any British journos do other than @campbellclaret and @mrjamesob
Today I testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee. Not a single member had a positive word to say about the state of free speech in Britain today.

What a fantastic evening with John Cooper Clarke. You drew us there @TherealNihal and I could have listened to you both for hours.

I miss the audience and the guests. Don't miss going in there every day. At all.
@TherealNihal Hey, I was listening to Radio 5 today and thought it was a shame your afternoon show wasn't on anymore, I used to enjoy it.

Thank you.
I really miss @TherealNihal on weekday afternoons on @bbc5live. The diverse topics, the rich insights into different cultures, and hearing views from people of similar heritage and ethnicity for the first time were a real breath of fresh air.

Proud that mine & @SheilaDillon's @BBCFoodProg on Bradford's food culture made Radio 4's Pick of the Week, as chosen by @TherealNihal 🙌🏼 Loved exploring this vibrant, friendly city with its rich food history & culture. If you get chance, go visit and eat!

She is a very talented journalist. When she left BBC North it was depressing.
I’ve written a piece on leaving my role as a @BBCNews journalist & newsreader over its unwillingness to follow the evidence out of Gaza - it also touches on why I joined 1k other media figures in signing a letter condemning the BBC for removing ‘Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone’

His country invaded, his people dying, but hey Nigel, his sartorial standards is what he should focus on.

Wasn’t expecting to be sitting here with tears streaming down my face, but this conversation between @TherealNihal and @theebillyporter is compelling.
