I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

The ICC are a bit late on to this, given England were releasing dressing room clips throughout the Oval test too: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

David Hockney art. An artist may have passed on but the art remains for us to enter into.

George Monbiot and Richard Tice went to the same school, overlapping by 3 years. Different paths since then…

If ‘cleared’= having to pay the HMRC £40k then sure, she’s in the clear

The BBC News homepage has now COMPLETELY removed its Climate section?! It has now been relegated to a sub-menu via the "More" button in the right-hand corner.

This exchange was hilarious to watch but Mail Online’s positioning here goes a long way to confirm its target audience, comparing Morgan to Jim, from the US Office, as opposed to Tim from the UK version

When Rob Key reviews Rob Key’s work it’ll be interesting to know what he thinks of Rob Key saying ‘There wasn’t any formal action taken’ over Wellington incident. And ‘we’ve had 4 years with none of these issues’.

The BBC is getting played here: if a contributor gets to flat out deny having his own words quoted to him on television (with the viewer not told the denial is untrue) then post about "dropping truth bombs". The mission to inform & counter misinformation is flailing if the editorial controls so weak

Statistics/data have a valuable role to play in cricket coverage, as long as it’s used in a way that adds to what’s happening on the pitch. This is utterly pointless and impenetrable

Really think Badenoch’s awful response will curtail her time in the job. If it’s Mel Stride doing the media round tomorrow, he should be played clips of the sneering, ‘are you happy with that?’

BBC’s both sides on Gregg Wallace is odd: a) respected leaders of disability charities say Wallace shouldn’t cite autism as reason for his behaviour; b) ‘many people on social media supportive’ of his post, and Danielle and Jake calling in to Nicky Campbell.. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Recent Times i/view by @athersmike.bsky.social with Flintoff was an incredible article, capturing his kindness, humour and intelligence. @marcaspland.bsky.social photo great too. #cricket

Harry Brook was very impressive when unveiled as England white ball captain this week. Clear in what he expects from the team, and answered with composure. A challenging job, and a lot is asked of him across all formats, but he looks a leader. #cricket #whiteball

The ‘sidearm’ comes in 3 models, the ‘pro’, ‘club’ and ‘elite’, all upwards of £32. Yet it’s hard to look past it being your typical thrower for dogs, available online for under a tenner… #cricket #dogs #grahamgooch @thecricketer.com

‘And we’ll be hearing from voices who think it is right for the US to take control of Greenland later in the programme’. Great ‘both sides’ from Nick Robinson on BBC Today this am, I feel both informed and educated…
