Judging by messages I’m getting Match of the Day in meltdown. Any presenter who agrees to replace Gary Lineker tomorrow night will be tainted as effectively a political appointment. Ditto any pundit.

I wonder whether the BBC has created a situation where anyone prepared to present MOTD tomorrow immediately becomes a de facto supporter of legislation currently being cheered to the rafters by overtly racist, far right leaders across the rest of Europe…

As commentators on MOTD, we have decided to step down from tomorrow night’s broadcast. We are comforted that football fans who want to watch their teams should still be able to do so, as management can use World Feed commentary if they wish.

Half of British television always starts like this.

The real victims are the lads who’ll have to form their own opinion at the pub tomorrow

Tonight’s blur gig as a biography of me: ST CHARLES SQUARE It is 2023. I am 42 years old. My feet hurt. I have never been to Wembley Stadium before. The band are endearingly scrappy and charming. I am at a Blur show for the first time in nearly a decade.
