It comes after years of cover-ups & denials not least from Boris Johnson who was in charge of MI6 as foreign minister at the time & whose first act as PM was to ennoble the Baron of Siberia. But it also went beyond Johnson & Starmer continued it too. We now finally need some sunlight. 2/

The Tommy and Lanks show for the goal. Deceptively simple, but great skill all round. #UTB #Boro

Notable win against a good side. Could have been more, but it was never going to be easy. Top play from Tommy for another Lanks goal. No complaints, and that anniversary shirt is cracking. #UTB #Boro

The rise in small boat crossings was entirely due to Brexit, promoted by Nigel Farage, and the deal done by Boris Johnson Their attempts to shift blame to anyone else is utterly despicable hypocrisy

The #haze drifting in from Indonesia isn't giving up this year. Climate change messing with the usual monsoon season isn't helping. Parts of #KL hit an AQI of 276 a few minutes ago. There's a good chance the #F1 this weekend will be cancelled. Here's my usual view and today. #Malaysia #MalaysianGP

God yeah, the attention to detail and genuine pleasure at looking through these things before you even put the tape in the deck. I used to love the packaging on Nightshade. Superb box art and it was just a great thing to hold. Ultimate and Ocean were particularly good at packaging games.

Saw a post saying they missed the days when games came with manuals. She meant the pamphlets with some Nintendo DS games. I don't wanna get all "Well, in my day..." but Valhalla on the Spectrum in 1983 had a manual the size of War & Peace. You could beat a Norse God to death with it #RetroGaming
