A message to the thieving bastards that stole my precious Suzuki GSXR 400 that I’ve had since I was 26 and the MT350 I’ve had for 11 years. You’re welcome to them both. I hope that in some small way they make your incredibly shitty lives more bearable. My life is still great!

Thanks so much to Jeremy Hunt for explaining this to me. I will now give up drinking coffee so I can afford to get the things poor people buy, like food. apple.news/AyJNX2KVmSXmlh…

So long Twitter, I really enjoyed you when you were cool. But I’m not here for whatever you’re morphing into, it’s just not for me. To quote a moron ‘I bid adieu to the bird’.

@selz_j @JolyonMaugham Did ‘they’ block the crossing or was the crossing blocked by the Police? I would’ve happily driven underneath them.

@JolyonMaugham Possibly because some people would have died whilst the crossing was blocked? Isn't that basically manslaughter?

@andy_eastfield @ATRightMovies One of these versions (William Shatners or Family Guys) was genius! And one wasn’t.

@DonnachadhMc They didn’t even need to stoop to a smear campaign. Cons have done that themselves. And yet, just to make sure (in case we had any doubts) that all politicians are a**eholes, they produce this.

Starmer is unfit to lead the Opposition. Like Blair he is selling Labour's soul again, to gain backing of Murdoch & Dacre.🤢 #FreeThePress #OverthrowMediaBillionaires bbc.co.uk/news/uk-652288…

@featherytravels Errr and the bobble hat??

This is my parents a year or so before I was born (and ruined everything 😅) doing the 125 mile DW race. I'm also still wearing that stripy Helly Hansen top my mum has on.

@LifeAfloat Best wishes for a speedy recovery Nick.

My day began like this. A 3 hour ambulance journey & now in casualty. It seems I suffered a small stroke last night. I’m going to be admitted for observation. To say I’m gutted is an understatement. A huge thank you to my hosts Carole & Jim for taking such wonderful care of me.

@RachelReevesMP This is basically. Conservatives “we’ve got an idea, 7 minute abs.” Labour “we’ve got a better idea 6 minute abs. Do something different FFS.

A Labour government will have a relentless focus on the things that matter most. With five bold missions for a better Britain, our long-term plan will unlock our country’s pride & purpose. That starts with securing the highest sustained growth in the G7. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK I’m reading Citizen by Jon Alexander in the book he talks about Germany’s Demokratie in Bewegung Party (democracy in motion) what do you think of this. PS. Please read Citizen and do an episode on it

QUESTIONS REQUEST 🚨 What would you like @campbellclaret + @RoryStewartUK to answer this week when we record on Tuesday morning? Timely, timeless, UK or internationally-focussed - please reply with your questions below.

@tom_r_allen Love this but would add 16. Auction your family and 17. Spend time obsessing over the perfect new bike!

@BrianRoemmele Not sure I understand this. We “humanity” have created a form of finance that does not physically exist, but we need to mine it. AND this process has kicked out 200 billion tonnes of carbon since the start. Why are we doing it?

In May 1962, a landfill in Centralia was set on fire by accident and it set about the worst coal seam fire in history. It still burns as one of 38 known active underground mining fires in Pennsylvania. Just these fires can power 40% of Bitcoin miners for 100 years or more.

@BBCPolitics The background reminds me of the Kenny Everett show!

I was thinking about getting a sleep monitor- then realised that with 2 kids I could just ‘sharpie’ SHIT SLEEP on my wrist and save £400 😪

Today (post Christmas cold and drizzly) is the kind of day to sit quietly and watch The Man Who Would Be King - shame the 2 kids have other ideas!

@outhwaitegeorge @Lucy_Lapwing If that was Hampshire, the last 2 seconds would be the whole lot getting covered in houses.

Here’s a 20 second film that it took me 40 hours to make and it’s called ‘You can never be forgiven for what you’ve done’ or something like that
