Those three are just some of the best commentary of any sport. We watch it just for those three:

What the heck is @BBCSport doing? Just watching World Gymnastics Championships to hear Christine, @craigdavidheap and Matt Baker announcing this is their last champs commentating. These three along with the great Mitch Fenner introduced the sport to new audiences. Will miss you 3

🚨 WELL, WELL, WELL! LET'S TALK ABOUT CONSISTENCY, SHALL WE? 👀 In 2018, David Matthews, the father-in-law of Catherine's sister Pippa Middleton, faced serious allegations involving a minor. Did the media demand that Catherine explain herself? Did they accuse Prince William of being complicit? Did they insist that Pippa was responsible for another adult's alleged conduct? NO ONE SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR A RELATIVE'S ALLEGED CRIMES WITHOUT EVIDENCE OF THEIR OWN INVOLVEMENT. And that includes MEGHAN MARKLE! Thomas Markle Sr. denies the allegations against him, and they deserve a proper investigation. But watching people twist themselves into knots trying to make Meghan responsible for her estranged father's alleged actions, while applying an entirely different standard to other royal relatives, is absolutely astonishing. IF GUILT BY FAMILY ASSOCIATION IS WRONG FOR CATHERINE AND WILLIAM, IT'S WRONG FOR MEGHAN AND HARRY TOO! SAME STANDARDS. SAME SCRUTINY. NO SELECTIVE OUTRAGE. 💅🏽 #MeghanMarkle #KateMiddleton #PrinceWilliam #PrinceHarry #RoyalDoubleStandards #MediaBias #FactsOverFiction #TheHipReview nytimes.com/2018/03/31/world…

Great to join the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of St Margarets Station, including viewing the brilliant artwork in the waiting room, and the mural on the platform by local school children. At the street party, the biggest treat was to jump in Lord Hendy's Routemaster!

More grim industry news 🙁
Around 100 Telegraph staff are believed to have been told they are losing their jobs, almost four months after its takeover by Axel Springer Focus being put on new revenue streams such as "video, audio, puzzles, events, B2B, licensing, commerce and new products"

Sad days for journalism and knowing the truth
What a grim opening line: ‘The new owners of the Daily Telegraph have made large numbers of staff redundant, telling them the title will be transformed from a newspaper “into a global, AI-powered premium media and intelligence business”.’ theguardian.com/media/2026/o…

Always love commentary @craigdavidheap and Christine Still’s gymnastics commentary. My take away from the worlds is data, air time, data, air time!

An attractive lady is used in an advertisement to advertise an airline which is based in a country that treats women as 2nd class citizen. Am I wrong in taking exception – at Hounslow, London

Meghan Markle is getting more heat for being the daughter of an alleged paedophile than (Prince) Andrew got for actually being the alleged paedophile.

By moving to the US, foreign born Johnson is effectively going back to where he came from. I’m sure the far right will be glad to hear that he is “going home”.

At this week's People's Question Time, Hounslow's Assembly Member, Gareth Roberts, highlighted Thames Water's appalling record on raw sewage discharges into the River Thames alongside problems with Mogden Lanes treatment centre. The Mayor of London seemed to think it was boring.

France is in turmoil and yet President Macron is visiting Saudi Arabia. His priority should be with the French people and not his next step after ‘public service’. People wonder what’s wrong with politics…..

At around this time 60 years ago, heartbreakingly the village of Aberfan was changed forever. This devastating tragedy remains etched in our memories. We today remember the 144 people, including 116 young children, who lost their lives in this horrific tragedy, leaving families and an entire community truly devastated. The grief endured by their loved ones is beyond words.

Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has responded to the unacceptable online abuse directed at a Met officer who received an award at yesterday's annual Police Federation Conference. PC Fiona Shaik Umar was recognised for the outstanding contribution she has made for women in policing.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The vast majority of criticism was not because she is Muslim, but because she was not following very basic gun safety rules. Her finger was on the trigger and she pointed the barrel of the gun at a fellow officer. gunsafetyrules.nra.org hunter-ed.com/muzzleloader/s… x.com/BasilTheGreat/… x.com/WilkieisBack66… x.com/LozzaFox/statu…
