🧵 A couple of weeks ago I put out this appeal ahead of our programme’s 40th birthday… 📣#BBCBreakfast #BreakfastTime 1/
This is what I wanted to find… The red leather sofa from the very first edition of #BreakfastTime (as it was called back then). The show started on January 17th 1983 at the BBC’s Lime Grove studios in London. 40 years ago today ⏰ 2/
Over the years, sofas have come and gone, but that first red one pretty much set the tone for decades of BBC breakfast television… 3/
Now and then. Celebrating #BBCBreakfast 40th birthday. Lovely to have original newsreader Debbie Rix and astrologer @THERussellGrant with @sallynugent and me.
And original weatherman Francis Wilson is doing the 40th anniversary weather forecast for us with @carolkirkwood ❄️☃️🌨️ #BBCBreakfast #BBCBreakfastTime
Interesting discussion on #BBCBreakfast about @mariecurieuk proposals to enable terminally-ill people of working age to claim state pensions and/or Pension Credit. While I understand the reasons for this proposal, I don't think it is the right solution. 1/
@mariecurieuk Firstly, the argument appears to be based on the idea that NI contributions are payments into a pension fund. But NI contributions are taxes, not pension contributions.
Secondly, according to @mariecurieuk, terminally-ill people have on average paid 24 years of NICs. But this isn't enough to entitle them to a full state pension. Most terminally-ill people would thus also need to claim Pension Credit (which the charity also proposes).
“There is evidence of criminal activity taking place in multiple freeports around the world. It often involves trade in counterfeit goods, drug trafficking, smuggling of untaxed goods or trade-based money laundering.”

Amongst recommendations on mitigating risk in the UK, are increased security, crime pattern analysis and intelligence gathering.

In 2021, the EU clamped down on freeport activity for the very reason that they were found to facilitate illegal activities such as money laundering, art theft and terrorism.

THREAD: Before I sit down on the #BBCBreakfast sofa full-time, I want to thank the colleagues I’ve worked with during many years of standing up. I’ve loved being a news correspondent. I’ll miss my team like mad. Sorry if this is a bit gushing but…RELEASE THE GUSH!
I always wanted to be a reporter. When I joined the BBC as a trainee in the early 90s, I couldn’t believe my luck (or choose nice ties). Decades later, the teams in local radio, regional tv and digital are still the powerhouse of everything we produce across the country 🙏
Broadcast journalism is the ultimate team-sport. The reporters you see and hear can only tell stories because of all the camera crews, producers, editors, engineers, researchers, librarians, graphics designers, satellite-bookers, organisers, managers and so many more. Thank you.
