Congratulations on a battle well fought for a great cause
The final round.
In total, 156 people helped us to complete 4,180 rounds and a staggering 12,541 minutes of exercise.
Most importantly, the amount of people who now know about Mentell and can help to help men over 18+ has increased.
Thank you. All of you.

😲 Gabriel was shocked to hear his band The Current Flavour being played on @bbc5live
📹 His dad had called the show to ask @tonylivesey to play it – and he filmed his son’s reaction.
🥳 A little #DriveSurprise for a sunny afternoon!

Thanks to @scopelandboxer for having @WillThompson_ and I on her @BBCRadioManc show tonight. Pre recorded so will be in segments at 1115, 1145 and 0015, or on bbc sounds in the morning.
This was a really powerful listen. As Ryan says, important to hear the human impact of such an enormous act of destruction. You can hear some of Olga's interview here:

Today you would have heard the interview of Olga from #Kherson speaking on the on @bbc5live w/ @claremcdonnell1 . She lives in the region and was heartbroken. As a producer it’s important to get real people on these stories.

Fascinating investigation by @Katewest0 on @BBCfileon4 into what children are being taught about sex and relationships in schools. Gurantee there'll be a few things in there that'll surprise you..

"The deal is done"
A senior government source tells the BBC:

I've spent the last couple of months investigating this scandal against African doctors in the UK.@BBCfileon4 @BBCNewsnight. It's the kind of report that takes time and resources to make, but needs to be told. Thanks to @meisel_anna @CarlJohnston2

This image shows @BowenBBC reporting on civilians fleeing Irpin in March and is being taken out of context to suggest the report was somehow faked because of the woman standing in the background. That's completely baseless.

Flowers outside Hillsbrough Castle just outside Belfast. King Charles III will visit later this morning.
Frightening to think that in the days before VAR we'd have had to just enjoy that absolute screamer from Macallister, despite some guy's armpit potentially being marginally offside nearby. Now we get a 5 min stomach turning delay and crippling disappointment. What an improvement!

This is dangerously misleading from @Ofcom who - yet again - seem to be searching for negative BBC interpretations.
Proper analysis of ALL BBC platforms (not just TV) suggests top 3 news sources for 12-15s are: BBC – 39%, Instagram – 29%, TikTok – 28%. ofcom.org.uk/news-centre/202…
Surely "absolute jeans"
