Two tickets for These New Puritans @TNPs for sale at the White Hotel Manchester this Friday. Face value.

Already so proud of all the work that’s gone in to this show. A total joy working with over 200 imaginative people across Sheffield, 50 talented, hilarious community performers and a killer creative team. Written and directed by me 😊😊😊😊

BREAKING: I’ve just announced my decision to bring West Yorkshire's buses back under public control! When I was elected in 2021, I pledged to improve your bus services – and this is a huge step forward to creating the bus service that you deserve.

Industry friend secures the future of @NorthBrewCo - here's a heartfelt drill down of the past week that led to today's news. Thank you @kirkstallbrew @teamdb thedrinksbusiness.com/2024/01/indust…

@PeopleofLeeds saw him coming out of sous le nez in November (his fave Leeds restaurant)...he's getting on a bit but was great to see him still out and about. well done on keeping the account going for 12 years, been a lovely thing

ADMIN: Have you seen Alan Bennett? Report in!

@ChrisBurn_Post Well deserved, and overdue I'd say! Best in the biz

Blown away to have won the Local Journalism award at the British Journalism Awards for my coverage of the Sheffield tree-felling saga. So many people to thank but particularly all the campaigners who trusted with their stories and the information they uncovered. #BJA2023

Europe is frequency cited for its excellent transit, but this European city actually doesn't have *any* rapid transit, not even light rail! Let's talk about how it can improve its transit system. youtu.be/metZXriPsEM

@therimaahmed Hi Rima! Hope you're well. Sent you a PM...let me know what you think

Brilliant piece by @JenWilliams_FT - on.ft.com/3YVJsfM Any time any thinker makes plans premised on lower public spending, I'd like them to read this

@smileymikes Thanks Mike, now back to the studio

Have to get this off my chest…Elton John specifically said there would be ‘no filler’ in his set at Glasto. Also the media kept banging on about his special guests which turned out to be three people I have never heard of and matey boy from The Killers…I think a slight let down

@DSheridanYEP nice piece mate, can't say they made Coachella look appealing though - looked too hot and a rip-off prices

As a commuter myself, I know the frustration of trying to get around on public transport – and I will not stop until #WestYorkshire gets a bus service fit for the 21st century. 📽️Watch the video to learn what we're doing to build a better-connected region.

West Yorkshire mayor @TracyBrabin took a massive step towards bringing buses under public control today, but how are efforts to bring in bus franchising going across the North? That's my top story in The Northern Agenda today, have a read here: e.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/interface/exte…

1/5 For me, this @BBCPanorama doc about over-diagnosis of ADHD is pretty damning. Check-box DSM culture & these clinics to blame. But also, it seems to me, the recent en masse social migration toward 'neurodevelopmental' answers for socio-psycho issues... bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

Steely Dan is back, @jack_hamilton writes. The insufferably perfectionist duo—one of the most polarizing acts in rock even at its peak—has acquired an army of new fans, many of them quite young. Here's how the band captured the hearts of a new generation: on.theatln.tc/gUkzYP1

This is what strength and determination looks like. 📷 True West Yorkshire heroes. In support of Rob and Kevin's MND fundraising, I’m running Leeds Half Marathon. If you’d like to support, please sponsor my run. All contributions make a real difference. tinyurl.com/yck77x6k
