Lefty, loves cooking, dog walking, good food and wine, prog, Norwich City FC and Canaries Trust.
Donald Trump can barely spell AI, yet his verbal dribblings are taken seriously by hacks.
Great thread 🧵 These people are so “patriotic” that they (a) don’t want to live here and (b) don’t want pay their fair share of tax here but they do want to influence politics here.
Phil Brickell MP@philbrickellmp.bsky.social · 5mo agoThis is not normal. We should all be worried. Voters in the upcoming local elections need to ask themselves one thing: what is it about Farage that attracts criminals and billionaires who are ‘depressed about the state of Britain’ and want to help, until it’s time to pay tax in this country?
Lamport doesn't have much luck managing teams in top leagues does he.
Reform promised to put Britain first. Yet Norfolk’s Reform PCC is off on a 127 date national tour building his TV profile. Norfolk needs a Police and Crime Commissioner focused on Norfolk, not Reform’s latest celebrity project. Public service isn't showbusiness. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In a surprise to no-one at all the Reform PCC elected by morons 3 months ago (and who criticised previous incumbents for not being visible enough...) is off on a theatre tour from January to November next year. £79k p a well spent? Grifters gonna grift... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think what Badenoch meant to say here is: “British employers are dependent on welfare to subsidise a massively underpaid workforce” - particularly when you consider that around 40% of claimants are actually in work. But that’s just me splitting hairs, I suppose.
Bill Bryson’s words seem appropriate to post right now
📆 Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. This powerful video from Norwich City highlights just how many people suffer in silence when they don’t have to. It's time to change the narrative on suicide. If you’re struggling, call Samaritans on: 116 123.
The problem is not that these were cricketers. It’s that the very idea that a ‘coach of migrants’ is something you should protest about is abysmal. It’s that anyone brown is seen as a legitimate target. Just fuck off.
“Legitimate concerns” latest. The entire nation should be ashamed of how far we’ve fallen. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Group entered hotel of Pakistan cricketers mistaken for migrants
Protesters congregated at a Portsmouth hotel after false rumours that a coach of migrants had arrived.

Just so we are clear: The 83yo priest on the left is a terrorist. The balaclava-clad men on the right are protestors with legitimate concerns
Farage was filmed consuming wine and oysters, not a foaming pint of Heavy with a side of pork scratchings and a pickled egg. A cynic might think his man of the people image is pure fabrication.
As we elders, our daughters, and our granddaughters continue the fight for power, equality, and respect, we hold you in our hearts with love and gratitude. Rest in peace and power, Gloria Steinem. 🤍

Are Govts across the world irrelevant as their decisions seem to controlled by the Bond Markets? Would it be different if everybody was governed by the "tech bros"?
Note to NCFC, if by chance we get promoted we will need to spend £150 million to satisfy Sky commentators that we are taken seriously.
Many years ago watching Palace v Norwich I wondered if we would see anything like Wright and Bright, today I watched Toure and Brooks.
Scottish football does seem to be struggling at the moment.
Isabel Oakshott left long term partner & father of 3 kids after it broke she was in an affair with Richard Tice lectures.. “you think money is more emotionally important than the love and stability and positive influence of being brought up by both a mum and dad.. Some things are just common sense.
They’ve got their eyes on my narna … again … 👀
