As you can imagine, our family needs to process our grief so we respectfully request time and space to mourn in private. Thank you. Pauline, Johnathan and David Prescott.

I ended up playing 11 gigs in 11 Hull pubs to raise money for @TheStrokeAssoc. With Gift Aid, we’ve so far raised over £1,070. Fingers still sore but was worth it! Thanks to everyone who donated, including £130 in cash on the day! Can still donate here. justgiving.com/fundraising/D…

The only thing I have in common with Andrea Jenkyns is that we both ended up with egg on our face.

So sad to hear of Harry’s passing. A proud Yorkshireman, he was the best broadcaster of his generation. It was always a pleasure to be interviewed by him. He wasn’t scared to ask the hard questions. But for Harry, the story & the viewer came first, not the presenter. #RIPHarry

Hi @CarolMidgley. I see in your article you claim I said: “It’s great to be back on Terra Cotta again.” Never said it. It was actually said by Del Boy in Only Fools and Horses. I’m sure you and @thetimes will amend it immediately. Here’s the proof. mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/jo…

John Prescott: I'd like plonkers to apologise over Del Boy quote

Former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott says he was misquoted by the Daily Mail who seem to have mixed him up with Del Boy. An apology would be nice old son, you know it makes sense

Is it mean to mock Liz Truss over her “Irish tea sock”, even though she’s the , erm, foreign secretary? Column thetimes.co.uk/article/the-f…

The foreign secretary and the Irish tea sock reminds me of my own hyperbowl

Is it unkind to mock Liz Truss for mispronouncing “the Irish taoiseach” as “the Irish tea sock” even though she is *checks notes* the actual foreign secretary?
