Thank you Wolves! 0-0 V Forest. Now West Ham officially 3 points behind Forest after 26 games. 12 games to go. The Great escape is still on! #WestHam #NottinghamForest #PremierLeague #Wolves

Absolutely gutted West Ham conceded in stoppage time against Man United. It feels like a loss to be honest, especially when Somerville could have made it 2-0. However if we continue to play like this, the club has a real shot at survival. A draw against the in-form team in the country is not bad.

⚒️ West Ham vs Man United 🔴 All eyes on superfan Frank Ilett 👀✂️ He vowed no haircut until Man Utd won 5 straight games. It’s now been 492 days 😳 A United win tonight means the clippers finally come out… and with 1M+ Instagram followers, the internet will be watching 📲🔥 #WestHam #ManUtd

How much more expensive is life for single people compared to cohabiting couples? I joined PensionBee's podcast to discuss "singles tax" - additional costs people have to bear as they don't have a partner. I wrote i paper column on this. inews.co.uk/inews-lifest... Podcast out soon! #pensions

Whenever I visit a new part of town or a different city, one of the first things I do is seek out the local public library 📚✨ Today I’m in between meetings near King’s Cross and spending some time reading and working at Pancras Square Library 🪑💻 A calm, welcoming space in the middle of a busy city.

Spending Valentine’s Day single? I’m hosting "Bored of Dating Apps" Valentine’s Meet-Cute, in collab with iconic French brand La Redoute. Having participated in Channel 4’s First Dates and Netflix’s Indian Matchmaking, I’ve seen first-hand that meaningful connections are still best made offline.

For those of you who have children or grandchildren, are you worried about them trying to get on the property ladder in future? As an educator, feels like a really challenging property landscape for young people to enter into. #property #housing #rent #mortgage #personalfinance

I think I’m starting to believe… 👀⚒️ West Ham fans: feeling the same? Three wins in four and suddenly we’re looking up the table 📈 Next up: Man Utd at home 🏟️ They’re flying too. Four wins out of four under Carrick 🔥 So the big question… Can we get anything from this one? 🤔⚽

Do you watch Sunday morning TV? 10.50am, I'm back on BBC One's Sunday Morning Live reviewing weekly stories. #BBC #News #Panel #Pundit #Analyst #Broadcaster

Yes, I’m a total maths nerd, no point hiding it! 🤓 ​I got way more excited than I should have seeing number 27 on a McDonald’s packet. My favorite cube number right now (3^3 = 27 just feels right, doesn't it?) ✨ ​Bonus: Which London Underground or train line I’m on based on the seat pattern? 🚇👇

Have any questions, experiences or horror stories about renting or trying to buy a home? 😬💸 “An Englishman’s home is his castle” 🏰 from 1604, rooted in English common law and attributed to jurist Sir Edward Coke. I wrote about renting/buying challenges for The i paper 📰👇 t.co/kc54JAu1En

Hows my outfit? With UK South Asian Heritage Month (1–31 July) having announced 2026 theme (“Unity in Diversity”) 🌏 I wanted to wear something to celebrate it. 9:15–11:30am, I’m on Channel 5’s Jeremy Vine Show to review papers & debate big stories 🗞️🔥

When you know the #UniversityChallenge picture "starter for ten" as you have a name tag attending a Historic England parliamentary event sitting in front of your TV 😏 PS please don't ask why I'm hoarding a stack of newspapers (mainly Financial Times) underneath a marching beaver 🫣

How do you feel when you hear an "opera" music starter for ten on #UniversityChallenge? If I haven't heard of it, I add it to my weekly play list on Spotify. PS feeling smug I knew it was Prokofiev 🤓

What’s the most random or unusual way you’ve heard of people meeting romantically? 🤔❤️ In rom-com terms, it’s called a “meet cute”. That first unexpected meeting that turns into a relationship 🎬✨ I recently heard about a couple who met while emptying the bins 🗑️😅

Should I get a cleaner… or just do it myself? 🤔🧼 I’m generally tidy-ish, but surface cleaning isn’t my thing 😅 Especially the bathroom - the shower window and floor always get that slow build-up.😬🚿 What products do I actually need for a proper deep clean? 🧽✨ Send recommendations! 🙏

As I was on my Sunday long run, I totally missed Australian Open tennis mens final 😭 Worth catching up on? Definitely useful quiz fact that 22 y/o Carlos Alcaraz is youngest man to win all four majors, breaking 87-year-old record by American Don Budge. Will Novak ever get his 25th slam?

When your long run runs into a half marathon 🏃‍♂️😅 Longest Sunday club run (by time) in 9 months 🙌🔥 Relaxed 110 mins with ViewTube Runners crew 👟✨ Proper motivation running alongside RunThrough UK Victoria Park 5km, 10km, half marathon crowds 👏⚡ Nothing like that race-day energy to keep you moving!

Well it turns out the IF wasn't big enough 😭 Half time Chelsea 0-2 West Ham 📈 Full time Chelsea 3-2 West Ham 📉

I came to Schitts Creek late but wow, it's astonishing. Absolutely no punching down, a warm and very very funny show with such gorgeous characters and relationships, I miss them and was already planning to re-watch from the start. COH's character is dreadful and delicious all at once, so talented.

If we can come away from Stamford Bridge with 3 points, I genuinely think West Ham are serious contenders to stay in the Premier League ⚒️🔥 Chelsea world beaters on their day. Potential Champions League winners but they still lack consistency needed to be real league contenders over a full season 📉⚽

🌟 Sad news about death of Canadian-born actress Catherine O’Hara age of 71. I'll always remember her for her iconic roles in Home Alone and Beetlejuice. I've never watched Schitt's Creek she was on. Would you recommend?

How have I never read A Clockwork Orange?! 😳📚 This is one of my four book club picks (yes, four! 😅). Now the big question: is Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation worth watching after finishing the book? 🎬👀 As always, huge thanks to my local library for making this read possible ❤️📖

Quiz: Which architect designed Bankside Power Station, now Tate Modern? 🤓 Clue: red telephone box guy 🔎 One of my fave London museums ♥️ Their monthly adult-only Tate Lates is a gem - art, music & atmosphere all rolled into an unforgettable night 🌙🎶🖼️ #museums #Tate #TateModern #TateLates #quiz

I've always been more of a Federer fan but have to admit Djokovic is made of something really, really special. Perhaps not just tennis greatest player, but potentially greatest sportsperson of all time. At age 38, how on earth did he manage to beat peak Janik Sinner at the Australian Open?

📚✈️ Why were a record 459,288 school holiday fines issued in England last year? I discussed LBC Radio 6.05pm 🎙️ 💸 Families can save 1000s by travelling during term time 📉 But teachers warn even short absences can seriously impact learning, especially vulnerable pupils www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I was sceptical about the new expanded Champions League format (and still think we expect too much from the players). But the last match day league table is such a rollercoaster of mathematical movements! #ChampionsLeague

Would you pick up a 1 penny or 1 cent coin? Bonus point if you can identify which London trainline this is? #money #currency #coin #penny #cent

How valuable is context in learning? 🎯 I've had students obsessed with Minecraft 🎮🟩 so I’ve used that as a familiar world to support maths learning. In geometry, we explore shapes, space through the Minecraft environment 🧱📐

Gutted we get a fab 3 points Vs Sunderland on Saturday, and then BOTH Forest AND Leeds get points (fair play to them both). Our last game of the season is Leeds at home. Due to goal difference, if we can be within 2 points of them before... Hmmm feels like 2002-03... 42 wasn't enough then.

Bit behind schedule and only just catching up on #QuizzyMonday. Time for #UniversityChallenge but also THE grand final of #OnlyConnect. Am I in for a treat?! Don't worry about sharing spoilers with me as I'm going to put my phone away now!

One of my (FOUR!) book clubs is having a "sci-fi" month. Members get to nominate choices and the club votes. Any recommendations for "sci-fi" books? #book #bookrecommendation #scifi #bookclub #reading

Arsenal 2-3 Man Utd There will be plenty of twists and turns, but Arsenal are still FOUR points clear. Still the best team in the country and favourites? Man Utd beat Man City AND Arsenal back to back. Just a honeymoon phase for Carrick or are they on their way back? #PremierLeague #ARSMUN

Happy Burns Night to all my Scottish pals In my book, I wrote "Show me a baker and you show me a mathematician!" I’ve always had a soft spot for Scotland. During my gap year, I spent the summer volunteering at a youth club in Muirhouse, Edinburgh (where Trainspotting is set!).

Ever tried a deep-fried Mars bar? 😅🍫 Even better if washed down with Irn-Bru 🧡🥤 An unusual (but Scottish) way to celebrate Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns, on 25 January 🥃📜 Even science behind deep frying - thanks to BBC’s Monkman & Seagull’s Genius Guide to Britain road trip series
