'My intent is to get through as much as I can'
Former England captain Lewis Moody, who was diagnosed with MND last year, spoke to #BBCBreakfast alongside his wife Annie and Doddie Weir's family, as they set off on a seven day 500-mile trip from Newcastle to Twickenham, to deliver the match ball for the Prem final next week

Curacao is the smallest country in the World Cup's history, with the oldest coach - Dick Advocaat, 78. The player who stepped on Achilles heels, the phone call from Rinus Michels that he first thought was a spoof, and Putin. Me @FT before Curacao-Germany as.ft.com/r/0b6a48f4-0541-4cโฆ

Steve Coppell was always a playersโ coach / manager. Had empathy in spades. Donโt forget he was pursuing a degree and playing for Tranmere. Iโm sure that had an impact on how he treated his staff.

Hegseth removed Chappie James's portrait from the Air Force Art Gallery and left the wall empty.
James flew 179 combat missions across two wars. First Black four-star general in US military history.
Curry passed that portrait every day for a decade. When it came down, he retired.
The wall is still empty.

I swear this is the last time I will be rage baited into this. Spent many years as a civil servant so it was utterly blasted into me (and rightly so) THE BBC IS FUNDED BY PUBLIC MONEY. You do NOT spend that frivolously. Any tweet criticising the BBC on this that omits that key detail should be disregarded as intellectually dishonest.

Some previous BBC studios. Just watched their Canada coverage & absolute bullshit it makes no difference where they present it from. It was just awful being in a VR studio. Itโs the World Cup: the biggest sporting event every 4 years - the national broadcaster should be there.

Letโs face it. A military man / woman has courage ingrained. They are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in conflict. When thatโs part of your DNA then resigning on a point of principle is easy.๐๐ฝ

Moral courage is the mark of the true leader.
Bill Stirling fell on his sword as C.O of 2SAS in May 1944.
Enraged that Lt-Gen Boy Browning intended to deploy the SAS tactically in France & not strategically, Stirling left the Regt after a furious row.

He stirs the pot that HE created. how dare @Nigel_Farage . Brexit is a central plank in the Northern Irish disaster and he was its architect - but of course he was out there today blaming everyone else. Revolting.

Always liked Jon Champion's commentating and pleased he got the opening game. Authoritative voice, not a screamer, and has a nice dry sense of humour. Changes tone well to reflect the game's flow. Does his homework without overwhelming his audience with it. #WorldCup #MEXRSA

Hi Francis - worked there. There was (and probably still is) a misplaced arrogance derived from having control of the money and hence thinking it gives you the right to spend it as you see fit.

Charles Barkley says he ate himself to 302 lbs in 48 hours just to avoid a terrible NBA contract
"My agent says they've got a hard cap, you're taking the minimum. One year, $75,000. I said I didn't leave college for $75,000"
"We need to make sure the Sixers don't draft me so we went on a two-day eating binge, pancakes and a vanilla shake, KFC, T-bone steaks. Same thing two days straight. We go to Philly, the owner's cursing me out, you fat, lazy because I weigh 302 lbs"
"Then they call my name during the draft, number five pick. The look on my face is are you kidding me? I'm thinking, I left college for $75,000, but in the end they traded two guys, and my first contract was 4 years, $2,000,000 so I'm off and running"

So much of John Healeyโs resignation letter is damning but lines that should really worry those inside government trying to make changes and those outside hoping for them?
That despite a war in Ukraine, a war in Iran, cyber threats, unpredictable allies, the impact of energy and resource insecurity on the U.K., this Prime Minister made promises he knew he could not keep and shut his own well-respected Defence Secretary out of the process to agree funding for the DIP to try and push through something inadequate and save his own political blushes.
In the same week he welcomed Macron, Mertz and Zelensky to Downing Street to stand in front of flags and promise unwavering commitment, knowing the money to pay for it didnโt exist.
