I have just been playing with Chat GPT and couldn't resist a bit of nostalgic self-indulgence. Makes it all sound pretty good #thread

@BBCBreaking Can you make him look a bit camper please.

Andy Burnham allowed to go for selection as by-election candidate in Makerfield, UK, Labour's ruling body says bbc.in/4uh9Hfx

This has a slightly familiar feel to it. Just hope @wildey_1 hasn't thrown his mask away.

Since beaten hands down by @Stuart__Bingham #obviously

@jaykay3737 Perhaps everyone in the house is DEAD. Slain on Christmas Day by a giant turkey in a revenge based attack #gobblerontherun

There's a house I walk past regularly that still has Xmas decs up all round the door frame. Floor to across the top, and right back down to the floor. Candy canes, holly, the lot. At what point am I morally obliged to piss through the letterbox? Should I have already done that?

Better make sure I take a drink and maybe a sandwich then.

@AndyBurnhamGM I think you are making a huge mistake. Both professionally and personally. I hope I am wrong but this is probably the start of your legacy in Manchester being erased.

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election. I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics. Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic. Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures. However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people. Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place. I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that. Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again. ENDS

A twist on a classic @TAFKASB @hitandhope0

Man of the People.

A lot of online “patriots” seem to hate: * London * young people * universities * artists * immigrants * journalists * modern culture At some point you have to ask what part of Britain they actually like.

@iceplanetx @peterlanee It was this one youtu.be/XuPI34N0oPE?si…

@TAFKASB @peterlanee oh I bet they were amazing live!

Okay most of these were all kind of expected but I didn’t know Paul loved Don’t You Want Me by The Human League and Kiss by Prince that much lol

@iceplanetx @peterlanee We went to see them in Liverpool a couple of years ago, they were amazing. Cedar Lane is one of my all time favourite songs.

@TAFKASB @peterlanee Yes I like both! My Silver Lining is on regular rotation in my playlists 😊

@Silverfox1949xx ITV4 missed a trick. An absolute care home staple.

@TAFKASB Yup that’s the audience

Have you considered a Sun Life Funeral Policy? You get a FREE PEN just for enquiring.

@wildey_1 @MikeStone411 No.

@TAFKASB @MikeStone411 @richardosman @kendoherty1997 Does that make JV a racist

Ok. Thoughts. I'm really not sure this combination works, looks a bit blokey to me. Someone like @richardosman would have been great at this (assume he's busy) with maybe @kendoherty1997 as the player. Not sure Hendry has the charisma to pull this off, no offence, just opinion.

@MJJames1985 @OsirisRage @richardosman @kendoherty1997 Maybe we define it differently.

@TAFKASB @OsirisRage @richardosman @kendoherty1997 JV liked a drink, a bet, horse racing, football, cursed, laughed at Jim Davidson’s sexist & racist jokes (was still his mate, called him a comic genius, said it was a waste he was no longer on TV). Not sure how he could possibly not be blokey.

First copies starting to arrive to the buyers 🤩 They look so cool! Please share a picture with me if you got yours! amazon.co.uk/dp/B0H18FG385

@dermotsnooker @Willoexplained I'll go on with him to explain what he's talking about.

@TAFKASB @Willoexplained Thas a wnodreflu idae 👌

Right, I have thought about this for a while but I would like to appear on a snooker podcast. I of course have the unique account on here but I am also a younger fan which haven’t been represented too much. If anyone wants me on their pod feel free to message me.

@iceplanetx @peterlanee Got me listening to that kind of music tonight. I assume you like First Aid Kit. Anyway, on one of my other playlists these five are worth playing. I love REM too btw.

@iceplanetx @peterlanee I just listened to the two I didn't know (8 and 10) - you do like your folk and shantys! Have you heard this song? You might like it, bit of a folk vibe, best played loud! open.spotify.com/track/4nDyjg7C…

@MJJames1985 @OsirisRage @richardosman @kendoherty1997 Jim, yes, add sexist and racist. JV not at all (and before you disagree I knew him)

@TAFKASB @OsirisRage @richardosman @kendoherty1997 Would you not describe Jim Davidson and John Virgo as blokey?
