BREAKING: The Rat Inn near Hexham is being absolutely owned by customers in reviews after the Landlady complained in the Daily Mail about the local MP going in and just having a starter.

@lukejcr ...and she is now reaping what she sowed on Trip Advisor - lovely stuff ....

The truly preposterous thing about the Daily Mail story about the landlady of the “Rat Inn” complaining about an MP ordering a starter is this: It is not exactly a slow news week. We have a war in Ukraine and Iran.  Plenty of serious issues here at home. So do read on, because I am about to reveal something possibly even more shocking about myself. Apparently we now have a culture where MPs cannot even have a quiet drink or bite to eat without it becoming a national incident. Well, in the interests of full transparency, I can exclusively confirm: I have been into a pub and not ordered a starter. Nor even a pudding. Not even asked for the food menu.  On one particularly egregious occasion, I even had just one pint and nothing else.  I know. Please try to remain calm. Daily Mail, feel free to report this. Front page if you must. For the record, this shocking episode took place at the Marcia Inn in Bishopthorpe, a fantastic pub in York Outer. Lovely place.  Lovely people. The serious point is this. If our politics ends up obsessing over what someone ordered in a pub, rather than the cost of living, fixing the NHS, or defence, then we really have lost the plot. Most people I meet in York are not lying awake at night worrying about appetisers.  They are worrying about their bills, their kids, their parents.  So yes, have a chuckle at the silliness of it all. I certainly have. But to the landlady of the Rat Inn, well done for achieving the truly impossible. Uniting the whole of social media in recognising this as the utter absurdity it is.

The Supreme Leader of Flag Shaggers, Coward of Calais, Habitual Harasser of Women and the Keith Lard of Lampposts is going to be livid.

@donmcgowan @linfitlass I'm sure Trevor and Laura will be covering this on Sunday morning.... right!?

Today I broke a story [with help from @linfitlass] about Reform UK potentially fixing their competition to provide energy bills to a whole street. It's a big deal and should, by rights, be picked up by mainstream media. Luckily, there's one proper, reliable news outlet that have and are publishing my full article on Monday. Obvs its Byline Times. But … why have the BBC, Sky News etc. missed this? I'm not blowing my own trumpet at all, but so far, the story has had over 1.5 million views on my 𝕏 feed today. A genuine public interest story about a potential fraudulent attempt by a political party, but it's being ignored, as always ... because it's Farage. This is serious. Aside from Byline Times, The Nerve and the New World, the rest have capitulated to the far-right and Bannon's play. If any outlets want to discuss this story, you know where I am. x.com/donmcgowan/sta…

🚨 NEW: Police are now assessing whether Reform UK broke the law with its free energy bills prize [@SabriSun_Miller]

@nw_nicholas Been watching the news all day waiting to see this scam called out....not a bloody thing!

Well, I for one, am going say huge congratulations to Ray & June of Wigan on their stunning victory in the Reform Ltd energy draw.

@donmcgowan Yet the politically illiterate will lap this shit up and take it as genuine.

🗼WELL I NEVER🗼 Would you believe that Ray and June, who won the Reform UK energy bills prize, go back all the way to the Brexit Party with Farage? Here they are with Farage, Widdecombe and Bull [a truly awful supernatural detective thriller]. What a coincidence [increasingly unlikely] h/t, and thanks to @linfitlass for pointing this out to me. These images are from a Brexit Party rally in Fylde on the 4th May 2019. [credit Getty Images I believe, but Google for me].

@BBCMOTD Anywhere else on the pitch that's a foul. Had already given two or three before that for exactly the same thing....

High foot or not? ⬇️ Do you think Axel Disasi’s equaliser for West Ham should have stood? VAR had a look, goal given ✅

Next game…..

@hullfcofficial Shocking decision that.....

48' The Black & Whites are denied by the video referee - Lew Martin was over in the corner after a lovely Litten offload, but a knock-on is ruled. KR 10 FC 6

@OfficialBullsRL @leedsrhinos Great stuff guys lovely gesture.

Prior to kick off this evening against @leedsrhinos, there will be a minute's applause, as we remember and celebrate the life and legacy of Geoff Burrow. Our thoughts and condolences remain with Geoff's nearest and dearest at this difficult time.

@johnnyddavidson Bird was very good.....
