I am hosting Have I Got News For You tonight! Ian‘s guest is Bella Hull and Paul‘s guest is Karl Turner MP. There’s something for everyone, by which I mean, everyone who is interested in the Labour Party or football.
9pm on BBC One.

What’s lovely is that you can also get this with whipped cream, plus a sprinkle of statins on top for crunch.

While I was out of the room, it seems my daughter stole my phone and secretly filmed her own tribute to David Attenborough.

Like many many other people tonight, I suspect, we’re settling down to have our dinner in front of an old episode of Planet Earth. He was only 80 when he made this one! A stripling! Happy birthday Sir David 🍾

The implication of this speech bubble seems to be: “Vote Labour to support Keir Starmer, as the alternative is worse”. There is a logic to that, but wouldn’t have expected it from the Mail!

What a lovely day at the Phoenix Comic festival. Brilliant to see the artists up close, and even better to be reminded how excited children STILL ARE by reading, writing and drawing ✍️

Without a doubt, my TV highlight of the year - possibly decade.

The irony is, I don’t like the colour.

Michael Gove & Jon Sopel win the Spectator's BBC debate against Charles Moore & Allison Pearson. 57% of the audience voted to Defend the Beeb, rather than Defund it.

I'm not saying we're elderly parents, but today when I told my 2-year-old not to drop her food on the floor, she sang "Don't drop your food on the floor, Mrs Worthington..."

SO proud to hear the name of our quiz in the mouth of Michael Palin and the words of Mackenzie Crook. How lovely to exist in that universe. #SmallProphets is wonderful.

Well, I went to see #WutheringHeights in spite of myself, knowing from the sniffy reviews I would find it ridiculous. And I thought it was *wonderful*.

I like to think that hell consists of playing snooker without any of the equipment for reaching long shots so there's no rest for the wicked!

And that's not even mentioning the shoes!
Dark formal dress shoes please. Sports shoes and trainers are *not* acceptable absent an official medical exemption.

I'm with David, what is the point of letting it count if it's not in line with competition rules? It's the start of a slippery slope to using their hands to just roll the balls around for records

My little daughter: “Wow! Look! A toddler has won TWO World Records for playing snooker!”
My husband: “That’s a foul. You’re supposed to keep one foot on the ground at all times.”

Like many people, I was impressed and excited by the story of the bus driver who chased a mugger, punched him in the face, knocked him down and sat on him for half an hour waiting for the police. But I would say that this analysis, by Boris Johnson, is a bit of a stretch. #WWJD

The privilege of my life to have quizzed with these legends. Jarv, JG... we did it. An utter, utter joy. I could not be prouder. #onlyconnect
