The state of this. A lovely day out for Badenoch and Philp, playing dress up and making pronouncements about early release schemes - having left the country with one hundred available men's prison places, after fourteen years in charge. You read that right. One hundred places.
From 7 @lbc.co.uk: is it time to call Last Orders on parliament’s drinking culture? Should men stand aside to insure Labour’s next leader is a woman? Harriet Harman says they should! And chancellor John Healey is looking for cuts - but where should his axe fall? 📞0345 6060973 x

If you watch anything on #Moroccans coming to #Ceuta, make it this report. CBS News have interviewed some of them & they confirm that social media posts on Facebook & Instagram told them Spain had opened its borders. They're playing with people's hopes & lives. It's awful. We must combat fake news.

'He made a clear error of judgement thinking that this would get support - and he should have known that it wouldn't.' 'Time to go, Infantino', says @davidhaigh.co.uk, as the FIFA president scraps his plan to sell off World Cup stakes. @matthew-wright.bsky.social
'I can't view this with anything more than scepticism, unfortunately.' @dpatrikarakos.bsky.social wonders if Donald Trump's claim of a peace deal for Gaza is an attempt to distract from the Iran War. @matthew-wright.bsky.social
From 7 @lbc.co.uk: 75% of voters in Manchester didn’t bother for the mayoral race. Time for compulsory voting? Do you want your party to work with Andy Burnham to fix social care? And is fairer trade the answer to the global migrant crisis that saw 1000s of Moroccans pour into Spain? 📞 0345 6060973
Fare ye well Neil Reading, the gentleman who introduced me and Amelia, taken way too young by another cruel cancer. See you for cocktails on the other side my friend x

Richard Stupid Tice is now threatening legal action against both the BBC and NCA and accusing the Met Police of briefing against him. Exactly the sort of reasonable reaction you would expect from someone who has nothing to hide.
From 7 @lbc.co.uk: Bold Burnham! Is PM to be saluted for tackling social care? How much will it cost though or maybe you’re happy paying more for better public services? And have 🔥 wildfires 🔥 finally burned all opposition to climate change? 📞 0345 6060973
Not good going to bed angry and so I shall bid you good night and do the mindfulness exercises my pain shrink has taught me. Don’t mind admitting I’m a tad surprised by their efficacy 😊 sweet dreams all x
@mrsameliawright.bsky.social shows me messages to say east Devon district council has been informed of the fish kill but have knocked back all inquiries to a 3rd party agency. I suspect they may regret that decision x
A friend did a private test on the water quality in the pond this time last year. We were surprised to see it was ok. Things can change but the heat! The heat! These fish should have been moved 😢
Matthew Wright@matthew-wright.bsky.social · 2w agoMy local pond. Freakin furious. These carp were like warriors, determined survivors but no more. East Devon council must investigate. Or the police..

Aaron has the whip hand today. He's got me grafting already! Good ideas though - think tomorrow's @lbc.co.uk show is gonna rock x

From 7am @lbc.co.uk: Burnham suspends early release of prisons so what’s the plan to solve prisons crisis? Housing - Rayner admits she’ll miss manifesto targets. Is that no biggie? And we’ll hear what you’ve made of Andy Burnham first week as PM. Still glad to see the back Starmer? 📞 0345 6060973
Tis true! 😍
