Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Kemi Badenoch claiming Terry Pratchett as her favourite author is wild

After listening to @scarredforlife.bsky.social with John Richardson I’m tempted to rewatch Ghostwatch tonight. Not seen it since it was first aired & it scared the HELL out of a 14y/o me (I thought it was real) I don’t know how it will stand up now, don’t want to ruin that feeling of absolute terror

Really pleased to be part of @octopus.energy ‘Supergroup’ I’m always uplifted when I hear Greg speaking so passionately about green technology

Bloody hell, never saw this transfer coming! Brittain on over £500k per week 🤯

“I’m being shutdown by you asking me questions on my views” 🤔

Best for Britain @bestforbritain.org · 1d

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

I’m struggling with how asking a question is shutting down debate - surely that is the absolute opposite to shutting down the conversation.

I imagine any movie I suggest you will already have seen 🤣 so will stay away from the obvious

🧟‍♂️ The Night Eats the World (French zombie movie)
🎥 Dead of Night (old B&W creepy not scary)
🤡 for a daft slasher movie, Ross Noble’s Stitches

Happy Juninho Day everyone 🥳 #boro #utb

How is that 30-years ago 🫣

A Funny Old Game @sidlambert.bsky.social · 1d

Incredibly, it’s 30 years since Juninho arrived in English football.

The Little Fella was greeted at the Riverside by men wearing sombreros, samba music, before playing some keepy-uppy with gaffer Bryan Robson.

PR in the 90s. Next level.

I bunked off college to go the Riverside. My Biology Teacher saw me on TV and the next day she walked into the classroom wrote her name on the board and said “now you’ve turned up to me signing, don’t miss my lesson again” 🤣

A step in the right direction 👏

What a moment! I was watching the match in The Crown - incredible scenes

A Funny Old Game @sidlambert.bsky.social · 2d

24 years ago today:

Sven’s England are trailing in injury time, and World Cup qualification hangs in the balance.

A set piece offers one last hope.

Cue John Motson and a moment of destiny...

Daughter is at the cinema with her friends (watching the Taylor Swift thing) so I’ve hit Costa with a charity shop book - the fabulously graphic James Herbert, bargain for £2

Reform UK’s Skelton East, Redcar and Cleveland by-election candidate Craig Holmes, trousers down like a toddler doing a pee pee on someone’s property.

He’s standing for election next Thursday.

I think the break has come at the right time, we look like we have been running out of steam & ideas for a few games now

Boro_Brick_Road @borobrickroad.bsky.social · 3d

Got to say that result has been coming - been very poor the past 3 games

I love Morris but once again he has been well below par today
