Sad to see news of the death of David Trimble, my political hero, who sacrificed so much politically to negotiate the Belfast Agreement, allowing my generation to grow up in a peaceful Northern Ireland. History will be much kinder to him that his political opponents were.

Deeply saddened to hear of the death of former Northern Ireland First Minister David Trimble. David was a great figure, instrumental in delivering the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement and the optimistic Northern Ireland of today. My thoughts are with his family at this time.

David Trimble's Nobel Peace Prize lecture is striking for its eloquence & self-criticism of his own tribe. Trimble's flaws were often unmissable, but his intellect was exceptional & few NI politicians face down the hatred of their own side as he did. nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/1…

The Good Friday Agreement was “the greatest thing of my life” David Trimble, April 2018 Sorry to hear tonight’s news. Am reminded of this clip with him back in the room where that momentous agreement was concluded…

I am deeply saddened to learn of the death of Lord Trimble earlier today. He was a giant of British and international politics and will be long remembered for his intellect, personal bravery and fierce determination to change politics for the better.

“Be happy.” - Eddie Hearn’s final message to AJ. We have no idea the pressure someone like him has dealt with for over a decade. Amazing to see how under-appreciated AJ is by so many.

2/2 And while I was initially pissed at AJ's reaction, I'm for cutting him some slack. He should have maintained his professionalism but he was HURT. We've all been there. It's just the VAST majority of us don't make an arse of it in front of millions of people #UsykJoshua2

The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.

From 8am I queued at Lambeth Bridge to pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen, entering the Hall at 17:20. But seeing a mother with a baby taking the time to pay respects, makes me realise how special our country is. 🇬🇧

Westminster protestors (Steve Bray and gang): please think twice before gathering behind lone female reporters in the dark. It is incredibly intimidating. You have a right to protest peacefully, but we deserve to feel safe at work

A fascinating exchange between Patrick Kielty and Tommy Tiernan last night. Kielty brings the audience and presenter to an awkward silence after challenging the "Up the 'RA" culture that has emerged in Ireland.

Maher should rightly be dragged on the horrendous opening 20 seconds of this monologue, but the rest is spot on. Northern Ireland can provide a warning on how far the descent into political tribalism can go, it's not farfetched.

Everyone talking about #Dubois clean shot on #Usyk belt but forgetting exact same thing happened in AJ rematch. AJ lands clean shot on belt with 1:46 to go of round 5 and the SAME ref gave Usyk time out (but didn’t deduct a point from AJ): youtu.be/hIe-xGb1y14?si… #UsykDubois

Judi Dench was on Graham Norton last night to push her new book about her life and work with Shakespeare. After making the point we quote Shakespeare daily without knowing it, this happened:
