Really excited to see our team launch Timestamp, a brand new YouTube channel from @bbcstudios focused on all things history!

Leading on this project was a dream, and the team have smashed it to bring the channel to life. Watch the trailer and subscribe: https://t.co/zJeCmpYkeV

Absolutely terrible experience with @JustEatUK this evening. Ordered pizza from local restaurant 2.5 hours ago, still no sign of it. Restaurant said driver never turned up for it and had to throw order away. No way on the app to cancel, no way to actually speak to anyone. Awful!

@SimonOKing @bbcweather I love the idea that at the end of the world the BBC Weather app will still be casually reporting it like this.

Now I know how all the Calvin Kleins and Ted Bakers of the world must have felt for years. I do now have some lovely socks with my name on, so that's nice.

OK, I've avoided the hype so far, but I think it's time... #ItsComingHome

@chris_allen I became obsessed with the election during my pat leave, feeling a bit lost now. Feels like January 2nd.

[Dan John @DanWithTheCam]

Putting politics to one side, I think more leaders need to be vocal about carving out protected time for families and role modelling work-life balance, that cascades down and creates healthy culture in teams. 24/7 'always on' mantra is incredibly toxic and needs to be stopped.

All I want is some exciting football. Forward passes. Shots on target. Maybe some goals? #ENGSVN

Have to say @EdConwaySky and his graphs have been the shining star of this election so far for me. Brings real clarity at a time it is needed most, great journalism.

This is very interesting, especially considering the number of politicians (particularly, but not exclusively, on the right) who keep getting called out for inflammatory posts they have 'liked' on social media in the past. Wonder who called in that favour with Elon?

@StretfordPaddck You know I had really hoped Sir Jim would be the person to really turn things around at United, but hearing he is simply a totalitarian dinosaur from the 'return to office' brigade is super disappointing. It shows a closed off 'my way or no way' mindset stuck in the past. Poor.

[Dan John @DanWithTheCam]

@MattLCapon I can only imagine what an adventure a date with Matt Capon would be. Where would we end up? Who would we meet on the way? Would life ever be quite the same again?

[Dan John @DanWithTheCam]

As a Manchester United fan I really wanted to get behind Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his new team, but the news that he's banned staff working from home and some of the apparent reasons make me think he may be exactly the kind of boss I would hate to work for, which is a shame.

Having to home school the 4 year old today as her school is a polling station. Who knew that was a thing? Today's tasks: Phonics, making salt dough mini beasts and teaching her the importance of going out to vote! #LocalElections 🗳️

So basically ITV just put Doctor Who and The Traitors into GenAI and it spat this promo out, right?

[Dan John @DanWithTheCam]

@PaulIvanHarris Such an important measure of success, too often overlooked!

[Dan John @DanWithTheCam]

@ghostlytom I think on a show like that you'd go mad if you didn't find one person to allow yourself to trust and be yourself around. Sadly, she did not choose wisely.

Harry really was the Prince Hans of this series. #TheTraitors #Frozen

@ghostlytom What Mollie should have done after the reveal...
