Sarah Pochin raised "concerns" in parliament about the impact of second homes on rural communities. Two days later she purchased an £800,000 second home on Anglesey. Remarkable stuff. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We were shockingly and unceremoniously disconnected from mains power on Tuesday 😮 A huge thankyou to everyone who pulled together to get this game powered so we could welcome 1,117 fans to watch our second league win of the season. 🤝 #ForzaClapton

I went to see Daniel Kitson last night in Hornchurch. He is amazingly brilliant. He delivered for an hour and forty five minutes. Some of the material has just been drifting in and out of my head all day. If you get the chance to see him on this tour - grab it. www.danielkitson.com/new-page-28

The Premier League could be hit hard by the aftermath of this case, while Manchester City fans may know they took 30 years to recover from a guilty verdict of illegal payments in 1906

@endoftheroadfestival.com who do I contact re lost property? I lost my favourite hat last night in the car park.
As honoured as I am to see that The Times has picked up my Chagos article practically *word for word*, including my hard-gotten quotes, I’d prefer some credit — or for everyone to read my original FT piece! free link to read the evidently enviable article below (cheaper than a Times sub!) 🌴

The games at @claptoncfc.co.uk coming thick and fast in August. Exciting game today in the FA Vase against Long Melford. 5-4 win on penalties.
Bad news from East London where the wonderful Newham Bookshop is under threat due to a preposterous rent hike. Run by the lovely Viv Archer, who is equally at home supporting books by West Ham's footballers as she is my words on queer sex in Epping Forest. Please sign this petition if you can:

I've read this list three or four times and I really can't find the thing I'm supposed to be outraged by. One cereal bowl?! Stainless steel cutlery?! Two pillows?! Where are we putting them, the Ritz?!
Sat in the shade of “The Nettle End” at @claptoncfc.co.uk this afternoon and watched a commanding 3-0 win in the actual FA Cup (super extra preliminary, before it starts plus one round). Only 13 games to Wembley!
Sometimes I think about how Michael Gove was able to dismiss the Tories £ 10 billion PPE waste & industrial scale corruption as an ‘ honest ‘ error & UK media said ‘ Oh that sounds credible ‘ 🙄 & the story disappeared after 2 days .
The Clapton CFC Men's First Team's competitive season starts with a narrow defeat to SOUL TOWER HAMLETS The pick of Clapton’s chances saw Fred Taylor rattle the post and bar. Overall, however, an encouraging display from an injury-hit squad against last season's ESFL runners-up. Attendance 518
Unlucky today @claptoncfc.co.uk hitting the bar at 1-0 down. But good performance all round - it’s going to be an exciting season.
Disappointed to learn this is not about Alan.
Odd This Day@oddthisday.bsky.social · 2mo agoIn case you haven’t seen the trailer and don’t know what I’m on about. Looks very promising

@claptoncfc.co.uk big turnout for pre-season friendly this afternoon. Guy next to me from Louisiana had come to see the game.
This really is worth the price of a monthly hot drink. Truly world expanding.
