Great communication skills and football knowledge - I’m not much of royalist, but hats off to the Prince of Wales! Though Ally gets the prediction right.

Is it just me or is Prince William a better pundit than half the people they get on these days? 👏https://t.co/6zENtHDCA3

Sad news about Clem Burke. What a cool drummer he was. Looked brilliant too.

If you have one of those pensions where you can go online and look at how it’s going, take a stiff drink with you.

@RobBurl @Channel4 @mrJamesGraham Book arrived yesterday. Great respite from Trumpmania. I enjoyed WITLBLTM? thoroughly. Congratulations. Now wondering how to cite it in a new edition of Dilemmas of Leadership…

Dear risk averse politician and spinner side-kick, watch this. Yes, you can admit you were wrong and you can be genuine about it and no, you won’t be seen as weak for doing so. In fact, you’ll get credit. Too much of a one-off but this is progress!! @darrenpjones shows the way:

Update: woke up. All good. Outstanding staff. Thanks for all the love and concern on here. Rob xx

Expected to be working on ⁦@TimesRadio⁩ ‘s excellent Spring Statement coverage. Instead it’s nil by mouth, a long, ongoing wait for emergency surgery and being looked after by fantastic NHS staff. Never had an operation before either. Wish me luck. https://t.co/6ZtUaQDDQx

But all’s far from lost! @afneil is the BBC’s loss and @TimesRadio’s gain. He still has that lens, remains rigorous and opposes any sort of flinching. Listen lunchtimes in the 1st week of the month alongside a team of talent including this week the brilliant @Dannythefink

Don’t forget that @afneil turned his prime time lense onto THIS part of the world - Britain- with rigour and no flinching. Covid - an event that required even more of that rigorous non-flinchy stuff- took him off air and first chance they got they axed the show permanently.🤡🤡

An interviewer and programme who turned their lens onto any person and any part of the world with the same rigour, never flinching. This is ⁦@stephensackur⁩ talking to @shattenstone⁩ https://t.co/2Yw9P5wVky

This from @stephensackur rings bells: the “supportive” Tim Davie who melts away when the cuts come, posthumous kindness from The News boss who killed you & the realisation, when you’ve done everything they asked & more, that it didn’t matter because they weren’t even watching!

Well, yes. It’s been going on for years. Watch out for them cutting the number of editions of Politics Live now @Jo_Coburn has left. Sadly, the BBC management see political programmes as chore not core.
