Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award, "It's not lost on me why I might have won this award" "Aside from presenting Match of the Day, the most iconic football show for 26 years" "Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice" @GaryLineker Legend 👏

Most obvious point: @GaryLineker has been a brilliant presenter over decades. It's vanishingly rare for a world-class footballer also to be a top broadcaster, and he has made it seem effortless. He has been an absolutely vital part of the @BBCSport brand. (1/2)

Starmer asked about VAT on private schools "I do understand that many parents save hard to send their children to private school because they aspirations for them...so does every parent who sends their child to a state school. And the problem is we don't have enough teachers in key subjects in our secondary schools. The party opposite may be willing to tolerate that. I'm not."

We all bear not just the responsibility, but also the duty to stand up to hate. To be vocal. To be allies to those who are being unjustly targeted - online and off. To our Black, Brown and minority communities: NEVER forget that you are loved and wanted in London.

The gofund me was for £500, but they've now raised £168k. It says everything. A symbol of resistance against the fascist thugs & positive action by those who genuinely care about British communities. #spellowlibrary
Over £140k raised for hope! and joy! Spellow Library still needs your help after the riots. Please donate, like, comment, and share to bring new books and a safe space back for the young people of Liverpool. gofundme.com/f/books-for-spe…

So true 👇🏻. Dua Lipa came with many others from the Balkans to our local area and went to the same school as our daughter. All the ones we know have worked phenomenally hard and contributed in so many ways. Something we, and our local state schools, celebrate every day.
Watching the remarkably talented Dua Lipa at Glastonbury, the London born daughter of Albanian parents, read her informed take on immigration in these worrying times of politicians scapegoating people who come for sanctuary & add so much to the culture & fabric of the UK.

He kept the tube running while Susan Hall’s colleagues Boris Johnson and Shaun Bailey partied. He froze fares, he fed children, he cleared up the mess Johnson left, he stood up to the government, he brought fresh air to outer London and he didn’t give in to the racists.

A sad day for Britain. Passing laws that assert lies the government wish to be true is not something healthy political systems do. My thoughts are with all those now at risk of deportation to an unsafe country.
