Interesting to watch this back. In 2021, Gary Lineker talked to me on The Media Show about tweeting. BBC DG Tim Davie had never called him to say, 'you can't tweet about that', he said. And added: 'I don't think they could do that anyway. I mean, I'm my own person.'

The continuing failure of most British media to report Brexit accurately now sees politicians who literally voted for Johnson’s ‘deal’ to whine unchallenged about its actual implementation. And God forbid they should ever be reminded that they pushed refugees in to ‘small boats’.

The government is deciding which organisations will continue to get their energy bills frozen after March. Charities and other community organisations must be included, or many will be forced to reduce services or close altogether. Please tell your MP: locality.org.uk/our-influenc…

Jeez. This is embarrassing for Sunak. The evidence given before the Treasury Committee this afternoon on the catastrophic damage inflicted on the UK economy by the hard Brexit the PM championed is absolutely damning!

Thanks to everyone who made #Locality22 such a brilliant event. It always feels warm and loving as well as motivating and inspiring. There is hope in difficult times and that hope is because of and thanks to local community leaders. ❤️ to the fab @localitynews team

Alison Haskins @HOT_CEO_Halifax says rising costs mean community organisations will need to renegotiate contracts with commissioners, and many will have to reduce services. It's true- our survey found a third will reduce services or close entirely in the coming months #Locality22
