After 32 years, the veteran broadcaster signed off his final edition of the Today Programme. Listen to it here…
Guido understands that Nick Robinson decided that he was very interested in what was on his computer monitor rather than the studio guest during this morning’s interview with Dr Victoria Bateman. The eccentric naked Remainiac campaigner called on Jacob Rees-Mogg to debate her naked. Over to you Jacob…
UPDATE: We now have video…
‘I invite Jacob Rees-Mogg to a naked debate about Brexit!’ 🗣️

Ridiculous interview with DD so far. Humphrys wastes four questions pointlessly asking why he didn’t resign on Friday. Who cares?

Really wish they’d given the DD interview to Nick Robinson. Humphrys has blown it. #r4today

Badly botched interview by Humphrys – so much substance to ask about going unasked.
— Iain Martin (@iainmartin1) July 9, 2018
Too much concentration on process — ask DD what is substance of white paper that has caused him to resign.

This is a very odd interview. No tough questions from Humphrys and odd rambling answers from Davis. @BBCr4today

And we’re back to process. Mmmm

Imagine getting the first interview with the resigning Brexit Secretary eight hours after he quit… and doing this with it.

“I’m not sure I could explain it” – John Humphrys on the size of his BBC pay cheque #newsnight pic.twitter.com/2RNBNQB1hI

John Humphrys on his £650,000-a-year salary: “I’m not sure I could explain it”. Mishal Husain is on a third of that, think she’d like an explanation…

A very tetchy few minutes for George Osborne as John Humphrys asks him again and again why he has missed his debt targets, and then the killer: “What’s a bloke got to do in your job to get the sack?” Osborne’s get-out for missing his surplus target by 2020? The commitment is that he will only meet that target “in normal times”…
