Lovely to meet the fab @susiedentwords.bsky.social in the office this morning after her appearance on BBC Breakfast.

Stephen and Rachel were neither boring or incompetent and if you don't like backstabbing, you were watching the wrong TV show.

Is it just me or are Jaffa cakes *ridiculously* small nowadays?

World Cup ticket prices: Fans tell of 'anger and disappointment' at cost Supporters tell BBC Sport of their frustration at the astronomical cost of following the 2026 World Cup.

'Anger and disappointment' as fans priced out of World Cup

Looking at:
📌 Ticket prices outstrip wages in some countries
📌 Cost of flights between venues
📌 What England and Scotland fans are saying
📌 Lower prices in bid document

Excellent that, Sachin

Superb.

How bad is the cricket? Well, I'm going to do ParkRun instead of engage with it. That's how bad

I'm going from anger to apathy. It's taken less than five days of cricket.

Wakes up, checks the #Ashes score, mutters, "Ah well, there's always another chance in four years." Goes back to bed.

Getting pummelled by probably the worst Australian team in 15 years in a country where I've seen us beaten 5-0 twice is a new low.

That is two hours of my life that I will never get back. I'm sure GI and his team are roundly patting themselves on the back though.

Italia '90 began my love affair with the World Cup but that abomination has somehow tarnished and sullied its memory if that makes any sense.

England deserve a tide of goodwill, yet somehow Jude Bellingham is still a target | Jonathan Liew It’s hard to disagree with Ian Wright when he suggests the midfielder has been subjected to a timeworn double standard

This is excellent from @jonathanliew.bsky.social

This makes sound like they've been killed.

This is very good

If people spent time overseas, they'd have a greater appreciation of what the BBC is, what it does and the reputation it has.

It's very unsettling to see your employer come under fire from nefarious sources that actively seek to undermine what it does and what it stands for. The BBC makes mistakes - who doesn't? - but it remains one of this country's greatest assets and needs protecting from dark forces

Club Brugge vs Barcelona looked an absolute riot. Some brilliant goals. #UCL

Extraordinary is right.

That Dan Burn header... Woof.

Liverpool hat and beer on a train

Anfield bound. Up the Reds!

I'm sure it's absolutely possible to fit our entire address on this *tiny* label on a small pair of kids' waterproof trousers...

Some absolutely ludicrously good goals in match day three of the Champions League. Watching Match of the Day and I've made several involuntary noises in response to some of the strikes across the continent. #UCL

British and Irish Lions head coach Andy Farrell at the BBC office in Salford

It's amazing who you bump into in the office...

British and Irish Lions head coach Andy Farrell joined BBC Breakfast this morning and was kind enough to stop for a photo.

The BBC is one of this country's great successes. Having lived abroad, its reputation overseas for broadcasting and programming is unmatched.

Reason the BBC works is its universality. If you replace that with a subscription, it is gone forever.

Season two of The Capture is up there with some of the best TV I've seen. Outstanding.

At least I think it was. Who knows if that's what was originally broadcast... 😉

I've said it before but The Defamation of Strickland Banks is an all-time great album. It's a work of genius. Massively underrated.

I love sport but few events capture the imagination quite like the Ryder Cup. I'm not a huge golf fan - I watch the majors - but I will be glued to my TV for the next three days. Sporting theatre at its very best. 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🏌🏽️⛳

Back in April, I ended up joining @SlimmingWorld - largely because as a Manchester resident you got 12 weeks free but also to support my wife. I was skeptical but today I surpassed my goal of losing two stone! You can see the difference below and I'm feeling good! 💪🏽
