Key messages from the Chancellor: ⛽️No to cuts to fuel duty/petrol VAT - risks higher inflation/rates/taxes. ⚡️Energy support would be targeted based on household income. 🍂Autumn more likely for any support, even if the energy price cap rises in July. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgk0…

Emma Hayes is the best pundit at the World Cup… by a distance. The tactical breakdowns are actually insane. To be able to condense the knowledge into understandable bite size pieces in such a short space of time is class. 👍

One easy place to go every morning: bbc.co.uk/nospoilers

Why isn’t there a show available first thing in the morning showing all the goals from overnight on one video? My poor boy and I have to just keep wading through all the official individual clips edits on YouTube. Feels a missed opportunity…

Cases of fraud in the UK have surged with criminals using AI to manipulate people and even marrying victims of romance scams to steal more money. On #BBCBreakfast Dan Whitworth explained that more than four million cases were reported last year - the equivalent of nearly eight on average every minute - according to an annual report by UK Finance bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyk…

I must confess to being a bit emotional this morning at the news of a knighthood for Kevin Sinfield. I’ve always called him ‘Sir Kev’ and it’s hard to think of a man more deserving. He showed us all what it is to be a friend. What it means to step up when people need you and he did it all for his mate ❤️ After he carried Rob across the line in the Leeds marathon someone sent me this poem anonymously and I kept it on my phone. They called it ‘Arise Sir Kev’… When shadows gathered, and hearts would break Kev knew it was time to take… One step, another, through wind and rain, Carrying hope, despite the pain. He never stopped, mile after mile, Driven by loyalty, strength… a smile. For Rob, his friend, he aim was true Showing us all, what friendship can do. Not measured in trophies, applause, or fame… But turning up, again and again. And in every mile he chose to run, He showed us how friendship is truly done.

Arise... Sir Kevin Sinfield. The rugby league legend, who has raised over £11 million for MND causes, inspired by his late friend and team-mate Rob Burrow, has become Sir Kevin in the King’s Birthday Honours list. He spoke to Sally Nugent for #BBCBreakfast bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/c07…

Ryanair is being investigated by the UK's competition watchdog over charges it imposes on parents to sit next to their child on flights. Peter Ruddick explained on #BBCBreakfast that the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) was looking into whether the fees, which the watchdog said typically costs £8 each way, were "unfair" under consumer law bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czj8…
