Hiding in walk in freezers or airline catering trucks seems to be a habit of blonde megalomaniac political leaders doesn’t it? #Boris #Trump #Hiding #Freezers #CateringTruck #Politicians

Words matter. The death was tragic not the singer. An example of poor writing or AI generated stories - or both. Journalism deserves better RIP @glenhansard.bsky.social #GlenHansard

TFFT @bevcraig.bsky.social - a convincing win but work begins now to deliver and to demonstrate that Reform and Restore have no place in our politics. #GreaterManchester #GMMayor @mayorofgm.bsky.social

Finished Mayflies by Andrew O’Hagan. Wow. That book brought to life much of my youth in terms of the music, history and politics of that era. Read it in a day.

As a lowly Preston North End fan, I’m pretty pleased with our former players

Preston North End has two former players on the pitch tonight. One has scored and amazing goal. The other has defended the net with ferocity. #JordanPickford #AnthonyGordon

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk - this is the precedent to stop Farage quitting and aiming to evade the investigation. Stop his mockery of government. @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social @theguardian.com

Very cold start at PNE this morning for the new shirt. Probably would have stayed in bed but the lad wanted to go. Managed to a match worn shirt, a remastered Wembley top for £10 and the new keeper shirt.

Really enjoyed listening to this. Audio version creates a compelling narrative. The only issue is that the narration is so American and the pronunciations are awful. Loughborough is LAO-BARROW and Peugot is PEW-JO. Considering this is based in the UK - would be good to get it right. #LondonFalling

Back in the 90s when good vibes existed. For me that was my flared cords (bought from dead stock from Afflecks Palace), an Adidas t-shirt and tracksuit top and a pair of Adidas or DKNY trainers. Dance floor ready.

The arrogance. Yet again the BBC give more airtime to these charlatans who cheat the system, break laws yet claim they are innocent. Look at his face. They’ve hoodwinked those who are unable to see the truth. #politics #liars

Think we need The Untouchables to deal with the corruption in politics right now. Determined to catch the crooks without compromise! UK - Reform and their nefarious funding, USA - Trump and his secrets. #politics #corruption #untouchables
