Thanks @MUFCYorkRoad for a great fans Q&A with the gaffer and players last night. Thanks @HarryPritch_ @SammyboyBarratt @remyclerima and others. Good to see such togetherness and confidence in the squad as we fight for promotion. #WeAreMaidenhead COYM.

@fergalkeane47 Fergal - it has been a pleasure and privilege to work with you over so many years. In Africa, Afghanistan, so many places it's been an honour to have been your producer and friend. You are the gold standard. Your reporting has been a beacon of hope in dark times.

Kandahar Airfield (KAF), Afghanistan, from where many nations’ troops deployed to some of the most dangerous areas in support of US-led Operation Enduring Freedom after 2001.

Long ramble: I have been mulling if I should comment on President Trump's inane comments about NATO involvement in Afghanistan. Although 35 years ago, during the US-led first Gulf War, I was lying, handcuffed & blindfolded - literally 'shoulder to shoulder' - with a US colleague on a concrete floor in an Iraqi interrogation bunker, I rather feel it should be the current generation who express any anger at the President's ludicrous, demonstrably false utterings. Which is why I earlier shared some posts from others. But perhaps I will reflect like this - I watched Trump's press conference in the wake of the terrible tragedy when a US helicopter collided with a civilian airliner last January in disbelief. 64 people lost their lives but it seemed to be about him - his expertise, his knowledge, what he thought had happened. Much of what he said was incorrect. So I realised back then that it was going to be pointless trying to analyse any upcoming word-salads. Everything is clearly about him; his expertise in every subject, his grasp of all situations. His need to say something, anything, to show he is the best, the cleverest, the smartest, the most knowledgeable kid on the block. The pub-bore, the braggart, the know-it-all, pontificates on anything and everything in the hope of bolstering their own, clearly very low, self-esteem. I wonder that, in the President's mind, that it doesn't matter if what he says is factually correct? I wonder if he knows, understands, even cares, what is true? He is saying some words, which in his mind, seems to suggest that he's important and people will admire him, laud him. The fact that everyone around him then applauds this character trait, thanking him for his 'leadership' at every turn, just amplifies his desire, his need to continue. He's got want he wants - in his mind - attention, praise, admiration. So to sum up, trying to analyse Trump's ramblings is like trying to play chess with a pigeon. Somewhat interesting at first, but ultimately, truly pointless and rather frustrating. To those he has hurt, insulted, vilified, I send you my deepest condolences for your loss, and gratitude for your service.

@MUFCYorkRoad It was very interesting and uplifting to see the new ideas for @MUFCYorkRoad's proposed move to Braywick today. The club has listened carefully to feedback and come back with some fantastic and sustainable ideas to make the new ground blend into the park. I vote Yes.

A great turnout at our first ground development workshop this evening, with many providing feedback on the design of our proposals at Braywick Park. Our team will be at Desborough Bowls Club until 8pm, so make sure to join us to share your views and learn more about our ambitions.

@LifeAfloat Good luck Nick. Best wishes to you. Keep us all updated on your new adventures.

Southern point of mainland Scotland. My adventure begins.

@westnewsprod @itvnews Congratulations @westnewsprod - a great loss to the BBC but wishing you all the best for the new role. You'll be brilliant as always!

It’s new job news time. I have started @itvnews and will be covering Wales & West of England for National News. Very excited to get stuck in covering and finding stories with my new team. Week spent up at HQ and on the road from beginning of Sept.

@ljbintheuk Hi Laura. Please could you give me a follow back so I can DM you about 2021 flooding ? Thanks

@daisykinga Hi, could I get a follow back please for a DM about 2021 flooding? Thanks

@MUFCYorkRoad This is fantastic news for the club. Well done @griif10 Dev and everyone else involved.

Club Chairman Peter Griffin has released a statement following Max Kilman's sale to West Ham United ⬇️⬇️

@The_Crox Many congratulations Rianna! Wishing you both every happiness.

Out of the office 💒💍🥰

@ruskin147 Congratulations Rory! Much deserved.

A bit of news…

@gracerufc18 Good luck Grace. Thinking of you. Hope all goes well.

Time to get rid of this brain tumour 🤞 I can’t lie, the thought of brain surgery in the morning is absolutely petrifying… I am excited to experience the “other side” 💅🧠

@MattChorley Congratulations Matt. Best wishes for your new role at the BBC!

Another defection… After eight incredible years at The Times, including four years having the time of my life on Times Radio, I’m slightly stunned to be joining the amazing team at BBC Radio 5Live to launch a brand new daily politics show in the autumn. It’s exactly 20 years since this Somerset boy arrived in London with his three A levels, 100 words per minute shorthand, vast collection of Elton John records and a dream. But I could never have dreamt that one day I’d make it to the actual BBC, and in a huge general election year too.

@EdThomasNews Congratulations @EdThomasNews. Much deserved! Best wishes for the new role.

I’m incredibly grateful to be appointed the BBC’s new UK Editor in Salford. Telling the stories that matter in Britain today is a dream job. I can’t wait to get started.

@MarkUrban01 Best wishes to you @MarkUrban01. You are a broadcasting legend and have provided so much top quality eye witness reporting and analysis from key events over many decades. I wish you well for whatever comes next.

🚨personal news🚨I’ll be leaving the BBC at the end of May. Newsnight in its current format will end then, so most posts will go. I decided not to apply for other BBC jobs. Working there for 35 yrs has been life defining: an eyewitness to history collaborating with such brilliant colleagues. But it’s time for a change

@MUFCYorkRoad Brilliant result. What a fantastic end of the season for @MUFCYorkRoad - Well done lads!
