Morning all - can relationships survive - even thrive - after infidelity? This is after the Norwegian bronze medal winning biathlete tearfully admitted to having an affair after he stepped off the podium. Let us know your thoughts/experiences. Thanks

Morning all.. just want to test public opinion on this one - ITV will be showing IN PLAY ads during 6 Nations this year - is that a reflection of pressure on commercial broadcasters these days? Will it inevitably move to other events eg World Cup/Champions League... Let us know what you think.

Hello... Flu season is hitting hard this year - is it only polite to wear a face mask - esp if you have symptoms?

Also talking about Gerry McCann's calls for more press regulation, champions league, why TODAY at 9am is the best time to do your Xmas shopping, and saying NO to festive invitations.

Morning folks... how was your weekend? We're looking for your moments of comfort and joy this morning after the misery of the Ashes.

We're also talking about Ukraine talks in Downing St, a new British F1 champion, potholes, and flu.

Hello

We're digesting the budget this morning on 5live breakfast. How's it settling on your stomach this morning?

We'll get reaction from across the political spectrum.

Also - has everyone gone really early with their Christmas tree this year?????

Morning - question for you - is Ben Stokes England cricket's greatest ever captain?

Surely he will be if he comes home with that tiny little urn from Australia...

Whatever happens, right now we have hope, and we are excited. All the build up right now on 5live. #TheAshes

Morning... we're celebrating an unbelievable night with Scotland's men making it through to the World Cup finals.

Our #InMyOpinion this morning - is Elon Musk worth his $1 trillion pay packet? (our guest this morning will argue he is)

Morning from 5live breakfast towers... we're getting excited about the start of Celebrity Traitors tonight and want to celebrate your little acts of treachery - whether it's changing sporting allegiances, or moving to a rival employer, or switching ketchup brands. Let's hear them...

More today on multiple accounts of acute malnutrition in Gaza - @beltrew.bsky.social told us there's 'no question there is mass starvation'.

Also - we're on the Lionesses hype train, and #IMO - people should talk on the phone, not just message (btw you can text us about that on 85058)

Once again, put through the ringer by the Lionesses - but Sarina now through to her 5th consecutive international final - incredible achievement. Loads of reaction to that, and the passing of Ozzy Osbourne this morning @bbc5live.bsky.social

Plus #IMO - can we/should we persuade people to fly less?

The cost of all inclusive holidays is going up... and people are changing their travel plans to adapt for climate change. Meanwhile - should we ALL be doing more in our own communities to manage climate change - from solar panels to allotments? Join in the conversation @bbc5live.bsky.social

Some Bayeaux tapestry excitement on the programme this morning - plus we're trying to work out what makes a curd a curd. Our In My Opinion is about whether we should ditch PMQs - and we're building up to crunch time for England and Wales at the Women's Euros...

Back on the wireless today with @rickedwards1.bsky.social - looking ahead to Macron's state visit, the Post Office inquiry report, Cam Norrie up against Alcaraz at Wimbledon..

...and two mums tell us about the devastating impact ketamine has had on their sons.

Frustrating day for Lioness and Wales fans yesterday. But both fans upbeat their teams will improve.

Here’s the stadium in Zurich yesterday before and during the game. The England fans around us were booed for not doing the Mexican wave - were they right to stand firm? πŸ‘‹

It's a good day! We're talking Women's Euros! We've got a new high quality mountain-based quiz! And Rick's back!

Plus a government minister will tell us how the PM will recover from his 'slow motion humiliation' (c Chris Mason) over welfare reform.
