This is a superb book (Lord Willetts calls it "wonderful"; a book editor calls it "brilliant"). It's a conversation starter and spotlight on social mobility. A great summer read... rb.gy/5xoigz

The constant enticements from gambling companies on my #Outlook #hotmail feed are disgusting and dangerous. And they can’t be stopped. They can kill. Outlook should be ashamed.

As the women’s game grows more like the men’s, it becomes as miserably unwatchable. Fake injuries and absurd VAR delays - leave that to the blokes and get back to the refreshing honesty and proper football that made me prefer women’s matches. #WorldCup2023

Absolutely wowed by today’s coverage and commentary on the Tour de France. #TourdeFrance But dismayed at the inane drivel spouted by the BBC’s tennis team, especially McEnroe, still refusing to accept umpire decisions. #wimbledon

Oh the irony. I have not heard any journalist reveal the gender of the alleged main victim of the BBC presenter, to maintain privacy. But now it has been, thanks to a spokesman - from Hacked Off!

Did I hear Clare Balding say Wimbledon coverage would continue momentarily on BBC1? American pilots often say their aircraft will take off momentarily- to the understandable terror of anyone on board who speaks English.

Huge thanks to everyone who has bought tickets for tomorrow's (Friday's) concert and is supporting the band, as well as two charities. We hope more of you will grab the remaining tickets and come along. It will be a Friday night to remember. Tickets at eshertheatre-tickets.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/sh…

mixcloud.com/surreyhillsrad… We're on the radio again....! Surrey Hills Radio. Nice comments from the DJ at 35mins and 25seconds - and at the end of the song! And he plugs the concert on Friday (June 16) - and promises to play more...

Absolutely. The Swedish embassy in London is a total disgrace. Any UK body acting like it would be shamed into sorting it out. Sadly, no one seems to care that Swedish citizens in Britain are denied something as simple as a passport.

youtu.be/kbhqFNQdqlU This is a first go at using Muvizu animation software - with some bizarre unintended consequences! The song is track 9 on "All The Notes There Is", an album of original songs available as a CD from peterwhitehead.sumupstore.com or as a download

Are people still up and awake across Europe and even further east? What time is it there? As a courtesy to Ukraine, surely this never-ending show should have started at least an hour earlier.

Have a look/listen to this song I wrote with young genius Rob Bryant. It's all about getting married on Lake Tahoe.... youtube.com/watch?v=D8Do5a…

The coronation service managed to cram 45 minutes of decent content into two hours. The star was “I’m Penny, fly me” Mordaunt, who actually looked marvellous and was in every shot. Her place in history is secured.

Pah, Weebly. We paid for you to host our charity website - and now you've taken it down and locked us out of our account so we can't communicate with you. Total incompetence. #weebly

Wondering what FT journalists do when they retire? Well have a listen to "All The Notes There Is" - which you can buy in CD form at peterwhitehead.sumupstore.com for a quick and easy purchase. Even quicker is the digital version, available from online stores, such as Amazon.

And while in the garden - how do you get rid of these wretched lily like things? They are taking over the whole garden and seem impossible to eradicate. All ideas welcome.
