Barrister. Dad. Lib Dem. Sunderland fan. Like a pint. One day I will make a load of pogs with Brian Noble’s face on them. You see if I don’t.

Looking forward to finding out that Hegseth tried to order a pizza on Friday night and accidentally put the Iran bombing plans on Facebook.

Keep calling it out mate. There’s more of us than there are of them. It’s just that they have some useful platforms just now. Their position is logically incoherent and morally bankrupt so call the bastards out for what they are. Kept the faith fella.

78 seconds the pause was. Basically the time it would take to set up an in range free kick. Just awful.

If you were one of the people at Elland Road yesterday who booed when there was the pause for Muslim players to break their Ramadan fast the you really are a hateful, ignorant dick.

Trump starts war with Iran.

Iran disrupts world’s oil supply through the Straight of Hormuz.

Oil price goes up.

Oil is the only thing keeping Putin afloat.

Putin benefits.

The servant pleases the master.

Maybe I’m wrong. But isn’t it mad that you cannot honestly say I’m not can you?

Imagine starting an actual war to distract from you being a horrible old nonce.

The Gorton and Denton byelection meant tactical voting to keep out Reform - isn't it time to get rid of slot machine politics with First-Past-The-Post?

Ask your MP to campaign for PR to be added to the new "Representation of the People" bill. (1 of 2)

Everyone else can read this paragraph as well right? I feel like I’m high or something. Snoop Dogg, Martha Stewart and Luka Modric? What the actual hell? These are the end times.

Not been good enough today. Lacked spark. Hard to put your finger on what the precise problem is.

Saw Operation Mincemeat at The Lowry in Salford this afternoon. Absolutely wonderful. Such clever stage production and a stunning display of versatility from so small a cast. Christian Andrews as Hestor stole the show for me. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house for ‘Dear Bill’. Marvellous stuff!

Once you notice the links between Gareth from The Office and Putin you can’t unsee them

Mate I never use it. Don’t miss it at all. When people say “oh my god how do you survive without it?” it is just habit. There’s loads of stuff out there just as cheap and just as easy to buy AND you’re not funding one of the world’s most awful humans.

We’ve got that here in the UK too mate. Intolerant bigots trying to own the Union Jack. Piss right off. Not on my watch.

Two things:

1) This is top quality punning. I mean bra-actual-vo

2) Am I going to have to be the person who says that ‘Igor Tudor’ is clearly a made up name and that that is obviously Nicholas Cage?

I don’t have time for any extra plans. My entire weekend is spoken for with trying to prise this amulet out of the grip of a Victorian mannequin I found in an abandoned monastery.

Probably just make some pasta after that.

If Jim Ratcliffe is worried about the UK being “colonised by immigrants” then he could increase the population of white English speakers by 1 by coming back & paying his tax. I know there’ll always be clever tax arrangements but even 2 of the £4bn he’s avoided would transform say the court system.

On 11th February.

Some effort for any team that. For the team that came up through the playoffs that’s positively Herculean.

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...
