Trying to do news and football at the same time @TimesRadio

Not presenting but instead a guest today on @TimesRadio to offer some thoughts on Farage and the by-election youtu.be/gq0O-BFJK5E?is… via @YouTube

TRUMP: Would you go to Moscow? ZELENSKYY: It is difficult. There are lots of Ukrainian drones there. It's dangerous.

Might Farage take advice of David Bull and say he’s taking a break? (to protect his family) - let Burnham have his honeymoon and then leave space to return ahead of election hoping that it renews the sense of him being a fresh/nostalgic voice again - like an ageing pop star

Prime Minister-in-waiting Andy Burnham joins Andrew Marr live from 6pm. Watch live on the LBC app and Global Player.

@cw763 @LBC Kind of you to say! Thanks for listening

@BreakwellNeil @LBC Thank you very much for your programmes on LBC this weekend. I think you have the right persona and temperament for the station and are the right tonic the station needs so who knows one day you may even have your own show!!!!

Great thrill to do an @lbc show

@CarolanSiobhann @LBC That’s really kind to say so. Thanks Siobhann

@BreakwellNeil @LBC Really enjoyed your debut shows Neil. Great radio voice, calm and considered.

The curse has lifted! AMEN!

@IainDale 😍

Today is Dude's 15th birthday. He is a joy to both me and John and worshipped by our younger dog, Woody. He's getting on, but still enjoying life even if his hearing and sight are diminishing. I hate seeing him age, but he is still the same wonderful dog he has always been.

@JohnSimpsonNews Only Wednesday?

The current series of ‘Unspun World’ has ended, because BBC Two needs the slot for World Cup football. We’ll be back for another series in September. On the meantime I’ll appear regularly on Wednesdays on the BBC News Channel at 9.30 pm.

astute Lewis note here: “if Burnham does triumph, Labour will never be able to run another campaign like it again. If he becomes Prime Minister, Labour's brand will become his brand. The outsider campaign will have worked. But it will also be over.”

No surrender talk to @TimesRadio from Keir Starmer in (inevitable?) event of a leadership contest

BBC: “What was your screen time?” Student: “Nine hours.” BBC: “You’re gong to have a lot more time to fill. What will you do?” Student: “Stare at a wall.”

Veteran news anchor Jon Snow has shared that he’s living with dementia, speaking publicly for the first time to raise awareness of a condition affecting around 1 million people across the UK. Jon and his wife, neurologist Dr Precious Lunga, are supporting Alzheimer’s Society @alzheimerssoc and shared the story of Jon’s diagnosis in @DailyMail as part of our Defeating Dementia campaign with the newspaper. dailymail.com/tvshowbiz/arti… We’ve partnered with Jon, in association with @Channel4, on a powerful new documentary airing on 20 June. Jon Snow: A Last Big Story looks at how he’s navigating life with dementia, and how, when we all come together, we can change the story. Thank you to Jon and Precious for their courage and openness to bring much-needed attention to dementia 💙 @jonsnowC4 Photo credit: Cynthia R Matonhodze
