Ironic that Match of the Day tomorrow is going to end up being presented by a nervous stranger parachuted in to an alien environment who probably doesn’t want to be there but is faced with little choice.

@Peston
This is just basic statistics. It is staggering that
@itvnews
don’t check rather than needless scaremongering.
If I have 90 people vaccinated and 10 not vaccinated and 80% of those non-vaccinated catch it, that’s a total of 8. If 10% of those vaccinated get it that’s 9, ie more.
This team’s achievements won’t be on every back page and in every sports bulletin - but they should.

My little boy had his 5th birthday party in the first lockdown via zoom with grandparents and cousins singing on an iPad and watching as he blew out his candles. Party cancelled, hearts broken. We followed the rules those who made them couldn’t be bothered following.

@singharj
Why are we afraid to say that here? For those of us who have had the vaccines, had boosters and done all we can, it grates more and more to face restrictions because of those who haven’t.
@ClareNews2
Sending all our best wishes, Clare. It’s six years today since my brother-in-law died from MND aged 38. I can’t say the pain gets easier from the impact of his cruellest of diseases, but all we can do is work to find out more so we can do more to help others in the future 💙

@chrisbellradio
And even if we accept you were worried about your family enough to want to get help in Durham, you probably shouldn’t then endanger them by putting them in a car driven by someone not sure about their eyesight. Particularly heading to a beauty spot on your wife’s birthday...

As a family, we loved it. There are so few programmes we can all enjoy like that together at the moment. Strictly succeeds at this, Gladiators absolutely did too. And for parents of our generation (early 40s), it felt like coming full circle!

National governing body of one of the UK’s most played sports wish one of their own players happy birthday.
Only they get the wrong player.
And then do it again when trying to correct themselves.
And then issue statement 24+ hours on asking players to ‘work with’ them so
However, it is clear that this does not minimise the impact that this has had on the players at the centre of this or those in the wider community.
We want to work with these players and others moving forwards to improve how we operate in the future.
@JoshHalliday
Also - crazily - this is the moment the BBC are axing so many regional news staff, including some of their most familiar and well known journalists. There’s hardly a worse time for the ‘national’ broadcaster to be doing that.
👀 Love working with

- especially when we get to design giant 12 metre wide billboards to promote netball across the city centre.
Look out for them if you're in Manchester anytime soon!
@PickardJE
Don’t think it’s a direct comparison. But, absolutely do think the last thing Labour strategists will want is a huge majority narrative to set in for so many reasons.
@Samfr
It says a lot about how local government is perceived (and reported) that street lighting and waste collections get the headlines whereas ‘children’s services’ and ‘adult social care’ feels very intangible and distant despite the £75m cut from their budgets directly impacting so

Also, why are they thinking ‘Parent Tax’ will stick. ‘Pasty Tax’, ‘Dementia Tax’, etc work because they were relevant to huge numbers. I’m a parent, I know this tax won’t impact my family and over nine in ten parents will think the same. The CCHQ operation is truly dreadful atm.
@henrymoeranBBC
Was surprised listening too. I thought Michael Vaughan and Alastair Cook afterwards were right in that in a few years, if he’s captaining again, he will probably regret the tone and perception.

@DPJHodges
Why we persist in letting political journos lead coverage I’m not sure - this is a national health emergency. Yes, of course there are political implications, but primarily it’s about stopping people dying and keeping us all safe. It’s not an election. It’s life and death.
@PaulMainwood
Younger people have paid a heavy price in the pandemic. Not through illness but through isolation; reduced opportunities to learn, work and travel; uncertainty about the future. The challenges Covid has created for them is more hidden but no less worrying.
@paulwaugh
The people of Liverpool will be excited to be getting a new hospital.
It’s just unfortunate it started seven years ago, was due to open three years ago and now won’t be open for another two.
@MartinSLewis
No, my reading is that the Ministerial and Other Salaries Act 1975 refers to one party - being the official opposition. MPs always sit as representing their individual parties, they can form a government as a coalition (Crown appointments) but that is distinct from Parliament.

@Samfr
@SophyRidgeSky
She’s excellent. Unlike so many interviewers, she listens to what’s being said and asks the next question based on the answer, not based on a prepared list of questions which must be asked. And does it all politely. 👏🏼
@Samfr
Shows the poor negotiating position from the EdSec too - she could have reopened talks, *could* have settled for say 5.5%, but explicitly said, let’s wait for the pay review body making it almost impossible to reject. Naive political miscalculation.
@scottygb
It’s such a BBC thing to have a major row about itself that then dies down, then reignite it by making a decision and it being wholly the wrong decision.

Born this lunchtime and weighing in at an impressive 10lb4 (!). Mum and baby doing well. Am a very proud dad of two boys.
