"Breaking News" sits on Cammell Laird Social Club, the ninth album from Birkenhead's Half Man Half Biscuit, released in September 2002. Nigel Blackwell wrote it on his own, words and music both.

It arrived on a record that AllMusic's Stewart Mason held up as proof that, whatever their reputation for idleness, the band were still one of the smartest and most rewarding outfits in British indie.
