Dave the Doodle Dog 🐾

“Let’s get a puppy, you’ll love it” they said to him, “No, No, No” he said, “not a dog person” he said … Caught him on CCTV getting a Dave welcome 🤗 He’s hooked 😂 #dogtwitter #DogsofTwittter

@BBC_HaveYourSay Our school has cut 4 hours of learning a week and dropped its smart uniform after Labour’s new rules. Standards are falling, structure is disappearing and kids are losing out. How can a government talk about raising opportunity while delivering less education?

@AngelaRayner Stop selling tax‑harvesting as compassion

Our party has suffered a historic defeat. Many good Labour colleagues have lost their seats despite working hard for those they represented. We have lost good Labour administrations and lost the chance for more. What we are doing isn’t working, and it needs to change. This may be our last chance. The Labour Party must now live up to our name: we must be the party of working people. We’ve heard the same on the doorstep as we’ve seen in the polls - the cost of living is the top issue for voters of all parties. People have turned to populists and nationalists because we have not done enough to fix it. Living standards are barely higher than they were a decade and a half ago. People feel hopeless - that the cost of living crisis will never end, and now they see oil and gas companies use global instability to post record profits. Once again, ordinary people are paying the price for decisions they didn’t make. It’s no wonder that across the UK, working people feel the system is rigged against them. Things can be so much better than this. Countries including Spain and Canada have shown that economies can grow and people can thrive when governments stay true to labour and social democratic values and put people first. We need to learn from that. In London, we lost young people who fear they will never afford a home. In my patch and across the north, we lost working people whose wages are too low and costs too high. In Scotland and Wales, people do not currently see Labour as the answer.  We are in danger of becoming a party of the well-off, not working people. The Peter Mandelson scandal showed a toxic culture of cronyism.  Decisions like cutting winter fuel allowance just weren’t what people expected from a Labour government. For too long, successive governments have allowed wealth and power to concentrate at the top without a plan to ensure the benefits of economic growth are shared fairly. The result is an economy that does not work for the majority, with wealth concentrated in too few hands. This level of inequality, alongside squeezed living standards, is the outcome of a model built on deregulation, privatisation, and trickle-down economics. But we have the chance to fix this.  1/2

@NUFC Eddie gave us pride, identity and belief again. He carried this club with dignity through chaos. A good man doing his best for a city he respects. Tonight hurts because this group’s spirit deserves better. People forget how rare that is. #NUFC #ToonArmy #HWTL #StJamesPark

@digbythedog …across so disjointed from the audience, the panel and the host. Anyway, I don’t normally comment on this stuff, but it got to me. Hope you’re doing alright x

@digbythedog …more fractured and weaker than I believe we are. The debates felt flat, the voices felt weak, and it was hard to picture any of them running the country. I don’t usually watch these days, but with everything going on I tuned in to get a sense of the tone, and it just came …

I’m watching #bbcquestiontime and it’s honestly heartbreaking. If this is today’s Britain, our ancestors would be shaking their heads. We’re better than this. We have to be.

@bbcquestiontime worst bit of broadcasting I have seen in a long time. You would be better off having Mr Tumble in the chair and a panel of inanimate objects. I never tweet on these matters but feel the need to tell you to hang your heads in shame.

@bbcquestiontime Tonight’s episode is a frustration to watch. Annabelle is offering thoughtful points, yet keeps getting shut down. The whole debate feels hostile and badly handled. Really disappointing.

Lapped some up off the floor before and now I’m getting ideas!

Me and my Birthday Girl. 21 today and shining brightly 🤩✨💫🐶🐾 As Dad said to her today: ‘Watching you become you has been one of our life’s greatest joys.’ And he means every word.

Dad was getting creative with his doodle pancakes this year 🐶🐾🦴🥞

@LukeEdwardsTele Eddie has earned patience & respect. He’s built a team that works, fights, & represents the club with pride, even through injury crisis & a brutal run of fixtures. The progress, identity, & belief he’s brought back to Newcastle shouldn’t be forgotten because of a difficult spell

If you are part of the Howe out brigade you need to be very careful what you wish for. The club isn’t going to sack him but if he feels like he isn’t wanted there is a real possibility he will just walk away, either now, or in the summer #nufc

Boop! 🐶🦴🐾

Bad news of a life long friend passing, followed by a cracking result. A bitter sweet evening x ❤️🐾🦴🐕🐶 #therapydog #therapydoodle

@charlotteukcity Couldn’t agree more! Good morals start at home—raise kids with kindness, respect & integrity, and so many bigger problems just fade away. Thanks for saying it out loud ❤️

That’s dry January done … it would be rude not to celebrate accordingly! #nufc

10:43pm. The house is silent. Dad finally sits down. Dave’s internal sensors: ALERT. DAD IS RELAXING. INITIATE CHAOS: WHIMPERING, DOOR‑SCRATCHING, COLLAR‑SHAKING, BALL JUGGLING MAYHEM #DoodleLife #DoodleLove #DoodleNation
