My Dad, Ernest Maxin passed away peacefully this morning aged 95. His work with Morecambe & Wise, Charlie Drake, Dick Emery, Dave Allen & Kathy Kirby is a legacy known by many. To me he was Dad. Loving Grandpa and husband too. RIP Dad xxx – at Henham, East
#BOTD Thinking of my Dad, who lived many lives very well during his 95 years. He would have been 103 today. #ernestmaxin.

According to the Guardian, George Cottrell transferred $2m to his mother days before her Reform donations. To be fair, lots of adult children move out of their parents’ house but still get them to do their laundry

Why isn’t the media reporting more details about the Ann Widdecombe suspect?

5 alternatives to the ridiculous half time show for the final at #fifa #worldcup.
What are yours?
1.VAR Karaoke — ref has to sing his decision explanations, song assigned at random.
2.Sprinkler Roulette — random subs get soaked, still have to do the interview straight-faced.
3.Granny’s Team Talk — actual nan lectures both teams, heavy on biscuits and disappointment.
4.The Offside Limbo — literal bar set at offside height, ex-pros try to get under it.
5.Foul or Fouetté? — controversial tackles replayed with ballet music, crowd votes.
FIFA to break football's laws by having half-time break at World Cup final of up to 30mins to accommodate glitzy Super Bowl-style show.
ITV will cover half-time show in full and BBC expected to do so too. thetimes.com/sport/football/…

🚨 NEW: Parliament has confirmed Count Binface will not be allowed to sit in the Commons wearing his space costume and bin head
He remains the only main challenger to Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election

This Clacton Circus is an absolute gift for Andy Burnham. All scrutiny has suddenly dissipated. Gets extra space to put his team and 100 day strategy together. Then stands on the steps of No.10 looking Prime Ministerial, whilst Nigel Farage is wandering around arguing with a bin.

Does anyone know if @AndyBurnhamGM likes cats?
On the centenary of Eric Morecambe’s birth, his genius still lives on through the wonderful shows. Here’s Eric with two Ernies (the other being my late Dad). #ericmorecambe100 #MorecambeAndWise #tvclassics
Thinking of the legendary ERIC MORECAMBE, born 100 years ago today. A life too short, but well lived. Here’s The Breakfast Sketch. Special, and personal memories for me. My Dad chorographed and directed the show. X

Number of Easter messages given by QEII during her 70 year reign = 1.
Number of Easter messages given by KCIII during his 3.5 year reign =1.
It’s a score draw.

So Russia is revealed to be sending intelligence to Iran about US sites it should bomb. The next thing, Pres Trump gets on the phone to Putin and offers to lift oil-related sanctions against Russia.
“The Strangers Case”, the speech by Thomas More written by the Bard. Sir Ian McKellan, a national treasure. How prescient.
