Out on the campaign trail with John Prescott and @campbellclaret who both campaigned with me in Keighley 2010. Thanks for your service John x

@Benefitstheband Exactly what I had in my head too.

@olivercoppard Tbf I think they definitely could if only they weren’t too busy telling England football managers where they’ve been going wrong all this time.

Absolutely loving that 6% of you think you could qualify for the 100m at the Olympics. Thats roughly 4 million - *FOUR MILLION* - of you who think you could run 100m in around 10 seconds, if only life and work wasn’t getting in the way. I’m afraid I have some news… 😂

@nevolumebar Sorry to hear that. Showbiz, eh?

*Cancelled* To be honest, this one has been a disaster. Casbah have had a fall out, Rose Malus' drummer can no longer play due to work commitments, and Sam Mitchell can no longer play due to family matters. So yeah, obviously we've had to cancel it. Sorry!

"I'm proud to be working class, and I'm proud to be anti-racist working class as well!" Love this woman - interviewed by @novaramedia in Barnsley today ❤️

The Bible is crystal clear about how the people of God are to think about and treat people from other nations who live among them. There’s no ambiguity in the Bible on this. Could’ve posted dozens of verses but this one sums it up… 👇🏼

@isaguha Well said: You’re my favourite commentator and TMS is always a joy when you’re on.

Feel in a bit of a bubble here but just wanting to send thoughts to everyone feeling unsafe or/and unwelcome in the UK right now. Praying for compassion, kindness and empathy ❤️

@chris_hawkins We stood next to Steven “Babybird” Jones in the queue at Manchester Apollo for a Beck gig about 30 years ago. He had his leg in a cast but still queued up with the rest of us. Top lad.

Have you ever stood next to someone famous at a gig???

You won't hear me praise them often but well done #Newcastle 👏 #UnitedAgainstRacism #FaragesRiots

Coming up next week @empilbeam @BBC6Music @bbcintroducing @hulllive

In troubled times, I’m taking consolation in an Olympic Taekwondo ref’s power stance which reminds me of a heavy metal bassist from about 1980. #Paris2024

Ah, thanks! It’s true that ‘For you’ is often full of tripe.

@Visit_Wakefield “You will only be risking your lives, whereas I will be risking an almost certain Oscar nomination for best supporting actor.”

Wakefield Police introduces measures to slow down extremist protestors.

@Visit_Wakefield Boringly, it used to be a square and had a market cross which was quite pretty.

This is actually pretty nice to see in Wakefield. Eat your heart out France and Italy, we have café culture in Wakefield too. *photo stolen from Marmalade on the Square **yes this street is called Cross Square even though it's a street and not a square ***don't ask

Proud sponsors of Gabrielle Cocks @WTrinityRL We reckon we’re the first poets to sponsor a rugby league player, unless anyone knows different @IMcMillan ?

@Benefitstheband When people say that, one key question is who do they mean by ‘we?’ Also, since when did any country belong to anyone?

This “taking our country back” is it? Back where? The 70s? Pointless and cowardly. Shameful.

🧵1/ Thread on the #Southport anti-migrant and anti-Muslim disinformation and propaganda. In this thread I highlight key spreaders of disinformation, the chronology, and some points about some of the inauthentic activity evident. I will focus on X.
