Congratulations to my brother @NickGibbUK on his knighthood. During his 10 years as Schools Minister, England rose from 10th to 4th in the world for reading, and from 27th to 11th in maths. Now that’s an achievement.

I’m proud of the BBC’s Gary O’Donoghue whose amazing live reporting from the Trump rally captured the full significance of events. He kept his composure on air and somehow found and interviewed the key eye witness to the gunman’s actions. Gary embodies the BBC at its very best.

One of the most extraordinary things I’ve ever seen. Amazing.
Aircraft from the @RoyalNavy, @BritishArmy & Royal Air Force will celebrate His Majesty the King’s Birthday with a flypast at 13:00. 70 aircraft will fly through the skies above Buckingham Palace & The @RoyalFamily. #KingsBirthdayFlypast #KingsBirthdayParade #TroopingTheColour

A brilliant appointment. Chris is the perfect ambassador for the BBC - fair, impartial, decent, with bucket loads of character.
I’m thrilled to have appointed @ChrisMasonBBC to be the next Political Editor of @BBCNews, taking over from @bbclaurak next month. Top man for a massive job.

Well done to my @UKgovcomms colleagues who produced ‘The UK Vaccine Story’ published a day ahead of the news that more than half of the UK’s total population has received a first dose of a coronavirus vaccine. https://t.co/ijKSpz2SW3 via @YouTube

Very pleased that the wonderful @simon_schama has deleted a tweet accusing my friend Robin Simcox of extremism. Robin is an inspired choice to lead @commissionce and mainstream voices should not be misled by predictable Islamist smear campaigns against him.

It turns out my mild-mannered, brilliant brother @NickGibbUK has a secret past helping to bring down Communism in the Soviet Union. Who knew? Apart from me and my wife Liz, who he recruited to follow in his footsteps.
My story in tomorrow’s @TelegraphMag : how young Conservative students - inc @NickGibbUK and @RobbieGibb - smuggled documents out of the former Soviet Union, providing a lifeline for Russian dissidents under brutal Communist rule.

On the day the BBC announces the welcome news it is moving more programmes out of London, this BBC Breakfast clip reveals a sneering and cynical attitude towards our monarchy and flag that shows it’s not just about where people are based, the BBC has a wider cultural problem.
What a bizarre thing for the BBC to sneer and snigger at. What’s wrong with ministers of the British government having the flag and the monarch on display?
