5 Live Breakfast was given access to the National Crime Agency as it tries to stop people smugglers and Channel crossings. More than 33,000 people have crossed the Channel in small boats this year, including 20,000 since Labour came to power. Adam Berry, senior manager at NCA

Well well well… an interesting weekend from the #PremierLeague - we’ll talk about it in the Monday Breakfast Club tomorrow BBC Radio 5 Live #ManchesterDerby Also - environmental manage from vapes, new Robbie Williams film, Online Safety Act, and cost of Christmas dinner.

We’re talking seasonal stresses tomorrow - the things that send you into a tailspin at this time of year. Starting with sprucing up the house - does it really need to be deep cleaned and fully garlanded? We’ll have expert help on hand. Any mad last minute DIY jobs in your house?

In terms of the news stuff tomorrow - retailers Vs shoplifters, Post Office inquiry, greyhound racing ban in New Zealand, Women’s Euros, #SPOTY24… and our #IMO - we need age restrictions on skincare as young girls are being marketed expensive and unsuitable products BBC Radio 5 Live

So exciting times in BBC Radio 5 Live breakfast HQ. We’re launching our new #UpDownQuiz today. Rick Edwards is dressed accordingly (or maybe he just hasn’t been to bed since #SPOTY?)…. Also in the show - is it right to build on the GREY belt? And tackling homelessness.

As someone who has become OBSESSED with #Wicked (part 1) this season… our #IMO today is an excellent wind up - our guest says Musicals are Crap! They only contain a couple of decent tunes, the script is usually rubbish and they are wildly overpriced. Do you agree?! BBC Radio 5 Live

Taking on the doyenne of the baking world is what the #UpDownQuiz can drive you to. Loved having you on Team Rach - thank you☘️BBC Radio 5 Live

In My Opinion: “We all know musicals are rubbish.” William Sitwell from The Telegraph says musicals draw you in with a few good songs but the stories themselves are disappointing. What do you think?

The Café Hope Christmas Dinner is out now on BBC Sounds. It is JOYOUS and life-affirming. Do give it a listen if you can. Thank you to our amazing guests Dee, Shashi, Justin, Kevin, Nicola and Lemn. 🩵 🎄

Ok fellas, just one last push to Christmas (while also acknowledging the amazing people working throughout…) BBC Radio 5 Live breakfast tomorrow - we’ll be talking #PremLeague, GDP figures, foster carer shortage, travel disruption, sober(ish) Christmas, and the perfect cheese board 🧀

Merry #Smugmas - we're celebrating the people who've Got Christmas Done already - no shame here. It's a smugness amnesty. Tell us how you've got it all wrapped up BBC Radio 5 Live breakfast Rick Edwards

Farewell for now to the wonderful BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast team who make the whackiest ideas come to life, who make earlies fun and we all genuinely LOVE eating breakfast 🫶 I promise the bucket hat and whistle are coming to all major tournaments going forwards… now, time to sleep

Morning BBC Radio 5 Live breakfast family! Happy #ChristmasEve from me and Rick Edwards (note the intellectual disparity in our presents for each other). Send us your Christmas Eve traditions please. Or you can guess what time Rick’s turkey arrived this morning. 🤔 🦃

Over and out from the BBC Radio 5 Live breakfast team for 2024. Thank you all so much for being on board with us, especially it our slightly more eccentric moments. Looking forward to more in the new year! Happy Christmas! Feliz Navidad! Merry Bachaché!

Completely unintentional matchy matchy snowy outfits today with Ben Thompson - although not much of the white stuff outside BBC Breakfast HQ. How’s it looking where you are? ❄️

Bring it on 2025. Also saw some white narcissus flowering in Devon. The weather may be sh*t, the politics is toxic, and it’s back to work/school tomorrow (unless you’re there already)… but we’re on the upward curve to Spring. Join us BBC Radio 5 Live breakfast Gordon Smart

A tale of two counties this morning. I just about made it in from snowy Cheshire but getting past Perthshire impossible for Gordon Smart - Simon King on your weather and Orna Merchant on your travel here BBC Radio 5 Live breakfast
