Over Easter I had to watch linear TV at my in-laws who don’t have Netflix/ iPlayer. Watched a doc I would never have chosen, given the usual infinite choice. Now I can’t stop thinking about that doc but also how world-closing it is to only consume media I’m already interested in
Thanks for a really strong start to the week with a @BBCBreakfast audience peaking after 8am at more than 1.8 million viewers and more than 47% share. All you need to know every morning from 6am @BBCOne @BBCNews
This is a brilliant clip of James Horncastle discussing Atalanta’s Anfield win and their manager Gian Piero Gasperini. I think more knowledgeable journalists should be on the likes of Sky and TNT. Knows his stuff and it comes across.

@wizbates @AgnesChambre "Kind of good looking from Westminster standards". Brutal.
Endless numbers of people on here who have never landed a story in their life carping about this- it’s actually an important one. One of the biggest running questions in Labour circles in the 1960s and 1970s apparently settled for history.

That's now become this article, and Iain and his sister will be on Radio 2 this lunchtime to explain the whole sorry tale. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-686757… Perhaps goes to show that being out and about is the best form of newsgathering, and often in ways you don't expect.

🙋🏻♂️Super pleased to share that I’ll be returning to Westminster and indeed to @SkyNews to help cover what promises to be a hell of a year in Britain politics. Can’t wait to get started when I return from my travels just after Easter and work alongside the best team in the business
Last week, a narrative grew on social media that heinous things were going on the Wales’ marriage and that the press were complicit in covering it up. Within a day, we will see people who pushed this turning round and blaming “press intrusion” for what Kate’s been put through.
Our beloved Maxwell has gone to sleep forever. He was nearly 16. We were all there and he felt our touch and love as he slipped away. Right now as a family we feel broken but we were so lucky to have found him in this universe. He was a gentle, sweet and special soul and he will…
