Thank you so much to @dmhprior and @altrinchamtoday for the opportunity to interview two such incredible athletes and all-round inspirational people.

Good luck to @neilfachie and Lora. Can’t wait to follow their progress in the @Paralympics! 🇬🇧

As the Paralympics gets underway in Paris today, we speak to two remarkable local sporting heroes, Neil and Lora Fachie.

Whether it was Dennis Skinner or Norman Tebbit, Tony Benn or Anne Widdecombe, some part of the rise of populism can be attributed to the disappearance from parliament of people who were highly abrasive but unfailingly sincere.

What are the chances Martin Bell throws his hat in the ring for the Clacton by-election? 😅

[Sir Geoff Hurst @TheGeoffHurst]

Wow. Was that the best performance since our 66 final. Must be close. After a long day at Wimbledon yesterday I watched the game early this morning. Everyone was outstanding. Bellingham Kane Gordon Rice Pickford all brilliant. The whole team stood up. Onwards and upwards now.

Last week the annual @FalklandsGov reception took place in @UKParliament. Check out our video highlights of the evening. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us. 🇫🇰🇬🇧

"I have accepted Keir Starmer's resignation as my chief servant and have invited Andy Burnham to lay out details for how many meals a day he'll give me"

[Michael Crick @MichaelLCrick]

Now presumably Josh Simons, who sacrificed his Makerfield seat for Andy Burnham, will be given a peerage - as Lord Simons of Makerdeal perhaps. What one might call the road to Wigan peer?

Jeremy Clarkson, 66, reveals he is in remission after being diagnosed with 'aggressive' prostate cancer as he says he's the 'world's luckiest man' https://t.co/yrkv8CnUB6

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

Apart from Kane’s goals, the best moment for England was our fans booing the ludicrous ‘hydration break’. Makes you proud. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

I was surprised when Jeremy Clarkson texted me on Boxing Day to say how much he liked my @paddypower ad urging men to get tested for prostate cancer. Now I understand.
I wish my old sparring partner all the best with his treatment. Guys, have a PSA test, it may save your life.

[Damon Hill @HillF1]

First all British podium since Sir JYS, Dad, and John Surtees. Nice work guys 💪🏻 🇬🇧

Peru elections definitely have a theme going

It's amazing what you stumble across in rural Leicestershire 🦊

You know it’s a Manchester by-election when you see one of these:

Today the Legislative Assembly Marks Overseas Territories Day as a proud member of the UK OTs family.
We are proud to exercise our self-determination and choose our modern relationship with the UK as an Overseas Territory.

Your reminder that if West Ham are relegated today, then next season will be the first season in the entire 138-year history of the English top flight without a team beginning with the letter W.
