This morning I’ve written to the CEO, the Board, Lisa Nandy and Unison and copied it in to all and sundry. This dispute at @ncmme.bsky.social could be over in a week if there was a will to do this from the management side.
Given the current debate about new British Bank notes, may I propose:

RJD had such an amazing voice!
Believe Nigel Farage about anything and you need to give your head a wobble ….
The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

A great photo of Harold Larwood padding up before a net session during the 1932-33 Bodyline series. By no means a hopeless batsman, he scored his Test-best 98 in the series and in his first-class career overall scored three hundreds with an average of 19.91

The #RAC have proved to be pretty useless, it took them 8 hours to reach my daughter's broken down car. That's a ridiculous length of time.
By not reading the Daily Mail?
Reminds me of Monty Python and the Ministry of Silky walks 😆
An amazing award-winning photograph by Darren Pateman as players in a 3rd grade game at Cessnock on October 19th 2002 realise how close to them the fire has come. Pateman was on his way to photograph the fire when he spotted the match in progress. The game went on.

Derek Randall recoils from a snake, 6th Ashes Test, Sydney, February 14th 1979. It was actually a rubber fake, lobbed behind Randall by Graeme Wood. Randall came out to bat at No.3 with England needing three to win, which they did by nine wickets to secure the series 5-1

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

The US state department is set to fund Maga-aligned think-tanks and charities across Europe to disseminate Washington's policy positions and challenge perceived threats to free speech. Senior state department official Sarah Rogers travelled to Europe in December to meet influential rightwing think-tanks and has spoken to key figures in Nigel Farage's populist Reform UK party about deploying a pot of money to spread American values, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. The funding was linked to the 250th anniversary celebrations of US independence later this year, the people said. It is likely to cause consternation among Washington's allies, particularly centre-left governments such as Labour in the UK, which will be concerned that US government funds are being deployed to undermine their policies.
Remember the controversy when Obama was accused of intervening in UK politics? This is the current US government openly seeking to undermine liberal democracy in Europe.
“Everyone involved pretends they had absolutely no idea.” Ian Hislop, Private Eye’s editor, appeared on Tonight with Andrew Marr to discuss the Epstein files, and the cover the Eye ran in reference to the paedophile sex trafficker all the way back in 2011.

My final offerings. Nottingham is well known as the rebel city. We celebrate, we protest, we display our art. We accept diversity.
My move to Minnesota meant that I still enjoy these magnificent traits.
Nottingham strong is Minnesota strong.
