@ReformDarlo @taffygeek "the very kind gift"... I struggle to believe anyone gifts £5m without expecting something in return. Especially someone who has made other political donations. This level of scrutiny is entirely appropriate for someone hoping to be PM

@KirstieMAllsopp Maybe everyone just copes with bereavement in the best way they can. There are no rules on how to deal with bereavement. Perhaps use the language that suits you and don't judge others.

@THEWENDYJAMES Not long now, I'm sure the shows will be brilliant! Hope you are keeping cool in the heat

Sad to hear Anthony Head has passed away.
The Gold Blend “will they, won’t they” ad campaign was a cultural phenomenon, an ongoing saga that lasted for 6 years, captivating audiences of 30 million. The inevitable kiss even made front page news. A landmark TV moment.
RIP Anthony

Bob Willis is a legend. One of the greatest fast bowling spells I can remember

[Cricketopia @CricketopiaCom]

Born on this day, Bob Willis is forever remembered for his iconic spell at Headingley in 1981.

He took 325 Test wickets in 90 Tests, captained England in 18 of them, and remarkably played much of his career through chronic knee pain.

After retirement, he became a respected broadcaster before passing away in 2019 at the age of 70.

Today was a tough day. We said farewell to Stuart with his family and friends. I think and hope we did him proud. Rest in peace my big brother.

@THEWENDYJAMES That's excellent news! I'm sure it will be fantastic!!

@jessicaelgot The thing that gets me is, even if you suspend reality and run with the idea he wasn't told - surely you'd ask, given the profile of the appointment and the candidate!!

[Mark Bartlett @marky_bart]

@SophiaMyles That's a beautiful picture and made me smile thank you. That's my doctor! Hope you are having a fab day

@BCFC won the Auto Windscreens Shield thanks to this golden goal from Paul Tait.

Oliver Bierhoff took note for Euro 96.

I miss the Wembley nets, they were better like that.
