At 76, veteran runner Harry Hunter has just become the oldest Brit to complete the Marathon des Sables - a 155-mile, seven day running race through the Sahara desert.

🏃‍♂️ He tells #BBCwato he's still 'too young' to retire.

In a way I hope the SNP do appoint Kate Forbes as leader... Having a right wing, homophobic, transphobic, anti-abortion campaigner who won 48% in the last leadership election makes a nonsense of SNP claims to be a progressive party!

Loss-making media monsters like the Telegraph and Spectator should be allowed to fail. They lose vast amounts of money and have a limited readership, but they're allowed to survive in order to peddle right wing influence. Shut them down.

People saying John Swinney is too old shows the difference between UK and US politics: he's 21 years younger than the US President!🤣

This is not a 'trans issue', it's about single-sex spaces - something which affects everyone. The 'scale' of the problem is something worth finding out Sarah Montague Brighton & Hove City Council tells schools a boy is a girl if he says he is. Girls rights are being ignored.

Alba leader Alex Salmond tells #BBCWATO that the outgoing Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf was still trying to do a deal with his party at 0730 this morning - well after rumours of his resignation were circulating.

Kemi Badenoch: THE MOON IS MADE OF CHEESE

Sarah Montague: 🤔

‘I don’t want to create a problem that isn’t there’ says Kemi Badenoch by raising mixed school public toilets as a problem that nobody thinks is a problem. #bbcwato #orwellian #thicko #PMQs

A 21st Century Mrs Bumble, full of Victorian hypocrisy!

Sadler's Wells has launched the Rose International Dance Prize, an award for choreography they hope will become as well-known as the Turner Prize for art.

Choreographer Akram Khan tells #BBCWato the audience the competition attracts is as important as the works.

'People are saying that' is not evidence. One alleged case of a girl not wanting to go to the toilet is not evidence. Kemi Badenoch is weaponising sex and gender culture wars for political reasons.

More evidence that the Tories are increasingly relying on the nastiness, blind faith and/or cognitive dissonance of an ever-diminishing rump of 'Tories at any cost'.

It's always posh pushy parents who ban their kids from the technology of the day. Today it's banning social media and smartphones, in my day cranks stopped their kids watching TV. I bet 14th century parents banned their kids reading Chaucer.

On BBCWATO just now, Ian Blackford telling Kate Forbes what her best interests are. Classic.

'People are saying...'

Who is saying?

For once no interruptions from Sarah Montague

So, after making a huge fuss about immigration, the Tories have given tacit approval to the immigration of thousands. No tax payable as they disappear onto the black economy.
What a fabulous success of years of division and performance politics.
Beggars belief.

'Stop the Boats' that was the promise.

If those coming across the channel are still coming - the deterrent has not worked - whether they are staying in the UK or going on to Ireland, the boats have NOT been stopped.
