Moonrise over the Tyne Valley tonight. No filters!

Son’s honeymoon has brought him to here. They are staying in Warkworth tonight!

@Lifeatsea_ @BartGonnissen @Themaritimepil2 Suez pilots used to “throw their toys out of the pram” if countered by the Master….

Pilots @BartGonnissen @Themaritimepil2 What do you do during pilotage and the Master counters your order?

Show yer mum this

@neheritagelib @Dave_H_King Check out the North Tyne at Wark, just South of the bridge. In my lifetime (not quite 60…) there have been huge change with large islands developing.

Spent the morning perusing over the 1890s maps of the South Tyne, and v surprised how much a water course can change in the space of 130 years?

@DoctorRobin @FurkanGozukara Leave ventilation systems out of it !

@FurkanGozukara where is our CIA? We are all sitting ducts

A reporter confronts Donald Trump about ten top US nuclear and aerospace scientists turning up dead or missing. The President casually dismisses the terrifying security breach as a mere coincidence. The administration is actively covering up a massive intelligence collapse.

@TeleFootball @LukeEdwardsTele Gordon £80m. Tonali £90m. Livramento 60m. Those are our disposable assets. Flog them and buy emerging talents. It’s the only way to break the hegemony under PSR/SCR

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Anthony Gordon is keen to explore his options to leave Newcastle United in the summer as he looks to follow Alexander Isak out of the club. “It seems as though Gordon feels he has outgrown Newcastle and would like a new challenge as well as a large pay rise at a club competing regularly in the Champions League.” @LukeEdwardsTele has the full exclusive ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

@TyneSnapper Was a regular at the Tuesday night quiz in the early 90s in the Balloon. The lounge was considered “safe” but the bar was a bit “wildwest” ….

@ToonPolls @toondle @tfalex1892 Staleness. That’s what I see. It’s most apparent during pre game warm ups. For 4 years we have exactly the same routines. How can anyone find that stimulating.

The Howe In/Out debate is at its best when those making their cases do so in an informed way. I’ve seen some really good points made on both sides in the last few days. This, from @tfalex1892 is a very well constructed and persuasive argument, and well worth a listen. #NUFC

😳 This is the Premier League table if Newcastle had held onto all their leads... They've lost more points (25) from winning positions than anyone else in the league this season 📉

@AntonioMango4 And Mateta?

Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman have marshalled Strand Larsen brilliantly btw

Three days before the parliamentary election, in a final act of desperation, Fidesz is once again resorting to its usual war propaganda. It wouldn’t even be worth mentioning if this weren’t happening on the very same day the government’s plans for a mission to Chad became public. This is the same ruling party now spreading lies about me again - the one that, reportedly at the urging of the Prime Minister’s son, would send 200 Hungarian soldiers to Chad, and, at Donald Trump’s request, even to Iran. It is the Orbán government that is lying again - the same government that, just three days before the election, is spending hundreds of billions on rocket systems. It is the Orbán government that is lying again - the same government whose Foreign Minister openly undermines both the national interest and the Western alliance system that guarantees Hungary’s security. It is the Orbán government that is lying again - the same government that has kept the country in a constant state of war hysteria and fear for years. Viktor Orbán himself has even suggested that the 2026 election could be the last before a war. Let it be clear to everyone: under a TISZA government, Hungary will once again have order, peace, security, and prosperity. There are three days left until the end of Orbán’s rule. On April 12, we will bring these inglorious two decades to an end. On Sunday, we will make history and transform the political system. The final countdown has begun.

@TheS_Resource My now 27 year old son was played CB all his childhood/youth and then well into adult football as he’s a big lad and gets stuck in. He went to Netherlands, with no history, played no 9 and scored for fun!

A 10-year-old who is tall, kicks it long, clears it and gets told every single week they're playing centre back, because it's convenient for the coach. Fast forward to 15 and they've never played in midfield, never tried up front and never been given the chance to find out what else they might be capable of. Should youth players play multiple positions throughout their development? We'd love your opinion on this one as it's genuinely splitting the coaching community, leave your vote below. 👇

@Microinteracti1 When I had the misfortune to live in Russia the local tv ran a story about police brutality in the UK. Reality was that an illegal camp was being moved on after 4 years of legal battles. My Russian colleagues could not accept my truth and preferred what they were being told.

A few weeks ago I had a conversation with an American who genuinely believed Europe and Canada would help the United States in its war with Iran. I asked him why he thought that, given that Trump had spent months threatening to annex Canada and seize Greenland. He went quiet. Then he said he had never heard of any of that. Not that he disagreed. Not that he thought it was exaggerated. He had simply never encountered the information. It had never arrived. This is worth pausing on. Because in every other functioning democracy on earth, that information would have been impossible to avoid. Not because Europeans are smarter or more curious. But because of how news works outside the United States. The BBC and The Daily Telegraph hate each other. Le Monde and Le Figaro disagree on everything. Aftenposten and Dagbladet have been arguing since before most of their readers were born. But they all cover the same events. A threat to annex Canada is not a left-wing story or a right-wing story. It is a story. It runs everywhere. You hear it on the radio driving to work. You see it on the newsstand. Your colleague mentions it at lunch. Facts are not a channel you choose. They are the weather. You step outside and they hit you. The only media ecosystems on earth that work differently are not political opposites of each other. They are North Korea and Russia. Not because the content resembles MAGA content. But because the architecture is the same. In all three cases, outside information does not get filtered or reinterpreted. It gets blocked at the door. A completely parallel reality is built inside, maintained by repetition, and sealed from correction. This is why the rest of the world does not just disagree with MAGA voters on foreign policy. It finds them genuinely disorienting to talk to. Not offensive. Disorienting. Like speaking to someone who is absolutely certain the building has two floors when you are standing on the third. Which brings us to today’s masterclass. And this screenshot says everything. A Trump supporter posted: “Absolute masterclass by Trump. He got the Strait open without any help from Europe and without any boots on the ground.” That post was written on the same day a refinery on Lavan Island burned for hours after the ceasefire was announced. On the same day Iran’s own official statement read “this does not signify the termination of the war.” On the same day Iran kept its toll system, its uranium program, its protocol over the strait, and walked away with sanctions relief and reconstruction aid. The post is not stupid. It is not written by a bad person. It is written by someone who received a completely different set of facts than the rest of the world did. And from inside that information environment, with only that data, the conclusion is perfectly logical. That is what makes it so unsettling. It is not ignorance. It is a sealed universe, doing exactly what sealed universes do. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@utb_smith @chuckthomasuk Which one? They both look fine to me

I thought he didn't have Sky?

@piersmorgan Careful where you get your reading material from Piers.

The more I read about the US mission to rescue their 2nd downed airman in Iran, the more astounding it is. Kudos to the CIA, SEAL Team 6, and all the others involved in finding their man & getting him out. And to him, for incredible guts & tenacity. nypost.com/2026/04/05/wor…

DEAR MR. TRUMP, THANK YOU FOR SUBMITTING YOUR APPLICATION TO THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE COMMITTEE. WHILE WE REVIEW YOUR "LIVING IN HELL" STATEMENT OF LOVE AND PEACE, WE SUGGEST YOU APPLY TO THE INTERNATIONAL COURT AT THE HAGUE. YOU ARE EXACTLY WHO THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.

@dan_jr1987 In the words of the immortal Roy Walker….”it’s good, but it’s not right”…. I would replace Batty with Rob Lee, Nobby with KK.

¿Cómo ordenas a estos 8 equipos en un ranking histórico de grandeza?

For weeks, we’ve been receiving warnings from multiple sources that, after previous failed false-flag operations and a drop in Fidesz’s support, Viktor Orbán - allegedly with Serbian and Russian assistance - may be planning to cross another line. Many people have suggested that something might “accidentally” happen in Serbia, possibly involving a gas pipeline, around Easter, one week before the Hungarian elections. And now it has. I call on the Prime Minister to immediately inform the public about these developments and to invite me to the meeting of the Defense Council, as whoever organized this provocation, the resulting situation will have to be resolved by a TISZA government. I further call on Viktor Orbán to stop - at least during the holiday - spreading panic and causing disruption, as planned by his Russian advisors. I also want to make it clear that he will not be able to prevent next Sunday’s election. He will not be able to stop millions of Hungarians from bringing to an end the most corrupt two decades in our country’s history. The Hungarian people’s trust in the country’s security services has been legitimately shaken by the series of intelligence-related scandals uncovered in recent weeks. Hungarians have every reason to fear that the outgoing Prime Minister, following the advice of Russian agents, is attempting to instill fear in his own people through false-flag operations. If @PM_ViktorOrban and his propaganda machine use this provocation for campaign purposes, it will amount to an open admission that it was a pre-planned false-flag operation. A TISZA government will conduct a comprehensive and transparent investigation to uncover who was politically responsible for, and who carried out, these crimes against our country. Under the TISZA government, there will once again be order, peace, security and prosperity in Hungary. The Orbán "be afraid!" culture will be replaced by a culture of "do not be afraid!" The TISZA government will be able to ensure Hungary's security within the European Union and NATO alliance system - the very alliance system that the Fidesz and Mi Hazánk parties are planning to leave. I wish everyone a peaceful Easter holiday! Truth and love ultimately always win.

@beezus_fuffoon @michaeldweiss Nope. When Brits go to war it’s for good reasons. And that’s enough for us. We don’t expect to others to put themselves at risk if we are in the shit…..

@michaeldweiss It's astonishing how many people on X, mostly from Europe, are saying this was too expensive and they should have left him. I don't understand how cost would be a consideration. He is one of ours. That's the only factor.

Details about the rescue op for the U.S. Weapon Systems Officer, via a U.S. military official: "The mountain top area on the left is where the WSO was hiding (he ejected 5ish miles northwest of there). The right area is the makeshift landing strip where they landed 2 C-130s and had 4 MH-6 Little Birds. "One Little Bird flew to that mountain top area and rescued the WSO and brought him back to the landing strip. And of course the two C-130s' nose gears got stuck in the dirt. So after a few hours they had to bring in three AFSOC Dash-8s to fly out the rescued WSO and the 100 or so personnel involved in the op." 1/2
