Wow - This has created a great debate about parenting, I love to see it! 🙌 I can’t help but notice tho- there are some utter melts responding to this🤣 To those people - Allow me to push you right over the edge then…(trigger warning!) In addition to my football approach - My 5 year old son also does tennis. We insist the coach ‘scores’ his performance, to him, out of 10 each time. My boy is gutted when he scores below 8, but knows if so, he must try harder next time to beat his own score. He bursts with pride when he achieves it. At a recent swim lesson, he messed around the whole time. So when we got home, he had to give me his pocket money box. I took ‘pennies’ from it (which he was most upset about!) whilst explaining that if he wants to mess around during a lesson, he can ‘pay’ for it himself & waste his own money. He hasn’t messed around there, during lesson time, again. And during his first ever ‘fun run’ - When the event had finished & everyone else was sat, I convinced him to push himself & run a whole extra lap, alone. He did so, with gusto. I push him as best I can. I don’t indulge (and never will) so-called ‘gentle parenting’, victimhood, trigger warnings, safe-spaces or loser mentalities. I will teach him that life can be hard & that he will be knocked. And that’s ok. But always, always dust yourself off, go again & do whatever it is, to the best of your ability. But - I serve all this (and more), alongside a staple diet of: deep love, support, affection, fun, spontaneity, adventures, laughter, happiness and hugs. I hope all of these ingredients (and others) combine to one day create a wonderful man. One filled with motivation, decency, integrity, strength, self-belief, respect, competitiveness, courage, resilience, grit, accountability, confidence, grace, kindness, compassion, happiness, humour, good manners, good banter and a whole lot more (including a Hull accent! 🤣🤣)… If so…that for me, is parenting done well and I’ll say again, an approach which, if many others adopted - would see this country (and our young people!) in a far better place than it currently is. 👍🏻

There is something wrong when the whole country wants the Prime Minister to go but he can just say no.

On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours: “On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists. Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.” It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.
