What's better than a weekend in Berwick? Ah yes, a weekend in Berwick when there's a food and beer festival on!

Haven't been to Wolverhampton in a while - sad to see the old Express and Star offices where we used to knock out 7 editions a day now closed and deserted. I knew times were changing then but didn't realise how fast... #media #newspapers

Back to @unisouthampton.bsky.social where I was a student more years ago than I care to think about! Surely one of the greenest campuses around - I probably didn't appreciate it enough at the time!

A long overdue few days away and our first visit to Hebden Bridge. A bit overcast but a nice little town.

The whole response from Starmer was excellent but this final line about the Tories should give some people pause for thought (it won't).
