And the art exhibition in the Peter Scott is worth seeing too. My favourites were the Lowry and the street scene of Workington

Fantastic to see the Great Hall at Lancaster University full for the visit of the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. It’s just like the good old days!

Crikey Harvey Elliott! This is the potentially the greatest heist since the Great Train Robbery. Has anyone seen Phil Collins?

Pathetic from Robbie Savage. So presumably he wouldn’t have watched the great wins of Southampton and Sunderland in yesteryear? #606 #BBC5live

Trump, Vance & others either have forgotten or never knew that Zelensky signed a ceasefire agreement with Putin in 2019. Three years later, Putin launched his full-scale invasion. So, signing another ceasefire with no security guarantees feels like suicide for Ukrainians.

How riled would Trump and Vance have been if Zelenskyy had turned up at Downing Street in a smart business suit?

Leicester has never lost by more than 5 goals in home game. 3-8 against Aston Villa on January 2nd 1932 and a couple of other times with the same margin. There’s a chance Brentford could better that tonight.

The game at Villa is a thriller. Great finish from Tielemans 1-1 but awful miss from Jota

Crikey Rúben Dias defended that ball with the poise that I showed towards the end of my career trying to take a catch over my head. Different sport, similar outcome. Mountain to climb for City

Imagine Ron Saunders reaction if his Villa team had gifted the opposition a goal like that 🤷‍♂️

If you missed it go to BBC Sounds. The BBC Today programme interviewer completely revealed Farage as a wannabe emperor with no clothes. Sorry if that image spoils your breakfast

The late Victorian period saw improvements in public health and food production. Daren was a competitor to Hovis producing brown bread at a⬇️huge flour mill in Dartford, but when they hit problems in the 1930s they were bought out by their competitor. They had branched out into chocolate biscuits.

Brilliant picture from 1932 of JB Priestley in cricket whites. Scary to think that then it was only 33 years since WG Grace had played for England which is exactly how long it is today since IT Botham last lined up for his country.
