@dsnorthnorth Spending.

I’m delighted that the A1 has been earmarked for improvement as part of the Labour Government’s huge £27bn investment in roads from 2026-2031 (Road Investment Strategy 3). #DavidSmithMP #NorthNorthumberland #Labour #A1 #RIS3

The constant pumping of music into every public space, every idle second of sport, every supermarket and café, speaks to an underlying sickness, a kind of cultural mental illness. As a society we are allergic to silence, terrified of spending even one second with our own thoughts

@simplemindscom Best song

'Up on the Catwalk' was released as a single this month in 1984.

@RacingPost Can see 7 not sure about 12 tbh

📈 What the ratings say 📈 "Constitution Hill has run to a peak Racing Post Rating of 103, which he achieved at Southwell on his Flat debut Taking into account the penalties some horses carry in the John Porter, the average winning RPR in the last ten years is 114.4. For the third-placed finisher, it is 109.5. So Constitution Hill needs to improve around 7lb to place, on average, and 12lb to win"

@SkyNews Zzzzzzzzz

Sir Lenny Henry takes aim at Trump and Farage at British Diversity Awards. The actor and comedian was honoured with a lifetime achievement award which recognised his decades of advocacy and representation in the UK's creative industries

“Reconstruct”

@EdwardJDavey Are either of those two chancellor old boy?

Trump’s illegal Iran war could cost the UK economy a staggering £15bn. All cheered on by Reform and the Conservatives. Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch should apologise to every family now paying the price. standard.co.uk/news/politics/…

@ThrowbackAFC Guy sitting down out for a month after with shoulder strains.

@batcountry1980 One of my favs of theirs. Love it.

#itwasaverygoodyear A different year of music every week. This week: 1993 Today’s song from 1993 stuck in my head James- Laid youtu.be/0trh9Y598fM?si…

@JohnSlinger Unfortunately living with the consequences is where we are all at currently

New £100,000 limit on overseas donations to UK political campaigns from today. Our elections should be decided by the people who live with the consequences, not by foreign financial influence. Democracy belongs to the voters it serves.

@martindvz Hahahah

The UK must rejoin the European Union urgently

@WestminsterWAG Hell is other people. Never forget.

Why do people in restaurants think it’s fine to have loud conversations on FaceTime? It’s incredibly rude and intrusive. Just enjoy your lunch. And let me enjoy mine without having to hear from your auntie in America.

@Steven_Swinford Proper socialist our Ange.

The first of Angela Rayner's speaking engagements has appeared on her register of interests She received £19,000 for a speech she gave at a dinner for the Management Consultancies Association on March 11, 2026. She said that it was for 5 hours, 45 minutes worth of work We can expect future disclosures on her BNP Paribas call with City investors, her forthcoming speech to estate agents at a property conference and the advance on her memoirs, which are being published later this year Allies say it will exceed £100,000 in total and enough to pay off any fine from HMRC plus any stamp duty that is due

@ShabanaMahmood How much. How long. “Lessons will be learned” and/or “it was MT’s fault” Done.

For more than four decades, miners and their families have been forced to live with unanswered questions. Today, I am formally launching the Orgreave Inquiry to uncover the truth of what happened. I pay tribute to the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign, the National Union of Mineworkers, and all those who campaigned so tirelessly to reach this moment.

@primevideosport I already pay.

@Steven_Swinford Would never have grown by 0.7% in the first place.

* Britain faces the biggest hit to growth from the Middle East war of all the G20 economies, the OECD has warned * The economy will grow by just 0.7% this year, compared to last forecast of 1.2% for 2026 * Inflation forecast to rise to 4% this year because of higher energy prices. It's up from 3.4% last year and the second highest level in the G7 * Report warns more broadly that 'prolonged disruption' will increase the cost of food because of issues with supply of fertiliser

@SkyNews @EdConwaySky Gives them a ready made excuse. Lovely stuff.

@CraigTalbot19 Decent good ground will be ideal. Imho of course.

This was equally impressive as he first at run for me They crawled around and showed a lovely turn of foot to get the job done He will be seen to much better effect on a galloping track Kempton will be sharp enough for him Fab story for racing and makes for a great summer

@BoveFromAbove Something I don’t like. Ban it. Great stuff.

Are the Government growing a spine? Banning crypto donations and a £100k cap from Britons abroad. We've been calling on them to do something about Reform's dodgy donations. Now they need to do something about GBNews. Well done, Sir Keir. theguardian.com/politics/live/…

And another thing, if as planned (still?) for the John Porter try telling the Newbury execs that he’s not all that when they get a 30% increase on attendance

The Constitution Hill knockers gang are a good insight to the British psyche. Do we celebrate the fact that a NINE year old ex Champion Hurdler is now having fun and enjoying himself on the flat?? Nope. He gets slated as being not good enough to win a Group (!) race. Telling.
