Another really positive review for Coming Clean from @BookishHermit on the blog tour, organised by @rararesources. Thanks for taking the time to read and review it. #WritingCommunity #writingfiction

@Hepworthclare I think Keir Starmer has managed the Iran war and Trump brilliantly. However, the gulf in communication ability between Wes Streeting, who controls the interview, and Keir Starmer, who needs to say 'erm' in every sentence, is frankly a chasm.

Wes Streeting. Whatever you think about him politically , he sure doesn't take any of Nick Robinson's old guff. Wes is strait back at him - using humour. #r4today

@seritastic @Carlwilks2011 @tottyhull I see us more often away than at home because of where I live and the apathy of the home support is a real issue for me. Feels like they can't wait to get home for their tea. Disrespectful to a team who are working wonders. #hcafc

@Carlwilks2011 @tottyhull It’s a weird crowd at home sometimes. Unrest when we weren’t ahead and then silence / early exits once it was done. Starting to get annoying. Some bloke in E9 yelling ‘you’re not gonna go up like this’ at 1-1. Why can’t we just enjoy a very good season 🤷🏼‍♂️

So that's the second game we've won at home, and the boys haven't come over to celebrate like they were previously doing during the season to the North Stand. They only seem to do it away from home now, does anyone know why? #hcafc

This moment from February 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead. Perhaps he should have listened. Zelenskyy: First of all, during the war, everybody has problems, even you. But you have nice ocean and don't feel now. But you will feel it in the future. God bless – Trump: You don't know that. You don't know that. Don't tell us what we're going to feel. We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel. Zelenskyy: I'm not telling you. I am answering on these questions. Trump: Because you're in no position to dictate that. Vance: That's exactly what you're doing. Trump: You are in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good.

@The1904Club I feel we need to revert to playing 3 genuine midfielders to regain control of games. Gelhardt is a great asset but not as part of a midfield 3.

🎙️It was a heavy defeat for Hull City at West Brom this afternoon, and we’d love to hear your thoughts for our next #1904Club podcast. #hcafc

@JimmyDHCAFC @bazdjcooper Ajayi has looked very fragile since he returned and McNair was excellent on Tuesday. Then when Coyle went off we sacrifice our best midfield player Slater, move Drameh out of position and still don't bring him on. Just stupid.

@bazdjcooper Any idea why McNair was left out? Started badly and never recovered today. #hcafc #the1904club

FT: West Brom 3-0 Hull City. An awful afternoon, pretty much from start to finish. Albion excellent, City awful. #hcafc

@bbcburnsy @HullCity As a long term admirer of your analysis, Burnsy, may I humbly request that next weekend you don't remind us how long it is since Wednesday won a game or their striker scored. You must have seen us do what we did today almost as often as I have. #hcafc

Most damaging afternoon of the season for @HullCity . Nobody told West Brom they were a relegation side as they beat #hcafc 3-0. To compound matters Hughes rightly gets a red ( 1 match ban), Coyle limps-off leaving Drameh the only full-back in the squad. Championship eh!

@ereqx1 Not had any with him either.

Sergej got it all wrong today. Should've kept the winning formula. Have no control in midfield without Amir, he was the biggest loss today #hcafc

@u_ull1904 We've got 9 points from the last 9 assuming lose today.

Meh, 8 games to get 10+ points to get us play offs, easily doable #hcafc

@_journotom Very harsh on Drameh and McNair. I think these changes weaken us relative to the Wrexham game.

Drameh being dropped is criminal man, he’s levels ahead of Coyle 😠 #hcafc

Love this… THESE SHOULD BE PUT ON EVERY PUMP!!!

@bbcburnsy @NHSEngland Thanks for posting this, Burnsy and hope you're on the mend. Great when hear good reports on NHS and think many people share your view - me included.

NHS gets a fair amount of stick so just wanted to recount a personal experience of @NHSEngland in #hessle & #hull in the last few days ....it was very impressive. #NHS

It’s been good to see this shared so widely, because this is the Kemi Badenoch I see in the Commons chamber every few days - condescension dripping from every clipped vowel, kemisplaining the simplest of concepts to the people running the country. She’s irritating beyond words.

@juanifest0 @mikewhitesport @HullCity @RadioHumberside @BBCSounds Exactly this. We're all a bit low after today so let's just ease up on speculating about this for a while.

@mikewhitesport @HullCity @RadioHumberside @BBCSounds Yet…. Can we calm down.

🐯 Just chatted to @HullCity midfielder Regan Slater after 3-1 loss to Millwall and he tells me he’s not received a longer-term contract offer by the club. 📲 Full interview on @RadioHumberside between 5 & 6pm. Will also be on our ‘Hull City’ page on @BBCSounds later. #hcafc

@ashleyeglin23 Sounds like the City faithful have given up as soon as going gets a bit tough - again.

Home form once again really poor. How many seasons is it now? #hcafc

Fiona Bruce: “Can I have a show of hands - how many of you think this is a war that Britain should be involved in?” *barely anyone raises their hand* #bbcqt

@benleo444 @Telegraph If that idiot Trump calls you a loser, you must be doing something right.

BREAKING: Trump reportedly called Keir Starmer a “loser” A source told The Telegraph: “Trump has started calling Starmer a loser. He said it at a dinner with friends. He just thinks Starmer has no future any more.” The PM’s approval rating agrees. Devastating. @Telegraph

@PhilMyers53 @davidgrayrhodes @BethRigby Almost all the media do. Johnson was often Boris, Sunak was often Rishi, and Badenoch is often Kemi. For some of the media like the odious Mail it's deliberate bias.

This is to @davidgrayrhodes of Sky Do you think your journalists can afford the prime minister respect? In particular @BethRigby who continually refers to him as " Starmer "

@theipaper There was another considered article by @kitty_donaldson in your paper saying that the relationship is basically fine and that Trump's posturing doesn't really impact on the bigger or longer term picture. He'll be gone in due course!

In intelligence and economic standing, the 'special relationship' is no longer presumed 🔎Analysis by Richard Holmes Read more: trib.al/ehqFEri

Well, with country in a state of high anxiety over the war in Iran, Badenoch chooses to go on the attack. She piles into Starmer asking why UK is not carrying out defensive bond raids on Iran, pivots to defence spending and calls him 'pathetic and weak'. Starmer is absolutely excoriating in return as he takes the high ground: "I spent the week protecting British lives and our national interests. Moments like this define a leader of the opposition. They can either step up, act in the national interest and show that they're fit to be Prime Minister, or they can expose their utter irrelevance. She has chosen the second."

@digitalsunshine @TiceRichard @JohnHealey_MP Keep going, Adrian! Badenoch going on about how depleted our defence resources are in PMQs. How dare she? 14 years of doing nothing. The hypocrisy is disgusting.

@TiceRichard @JohnHealey_MP Quick quiz for you, Richard: Do you think the Royal Navy became depleted over: a) The space of a year or so b) A lot of years, the majority of which were overseen by a government that your party is now stuffed to the gills with former members of? Take your time...

Starmer has humiliated Britain We are mocked on international stage Our Navy is knackered ⁦@JohnHealey_MP⁩ must explain himself
