Inside The Barriers - Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne YouTube video by Inside The Barriers

If you are missing cycling already, I made a little video from Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne.

My local race and includes a chat with some sheep - how can you resist?!?

If you live in the Gorton and Denton constituency and spoke to a Reform party member on your doorstep or in the streets then I'd like to speak to you for an article. My DMs are open.

This great BBC News man just brutally owned the chairman of Reform UK and it just gets better and better

Deja bleeding vu

What a week! Firstly, I nab a #Rush ticket for next March and then #HannahsSpencer and the @greenparty.org.uk win the #DentonAndGorton by-election. Amazing result. I'm going to celebrate ALL weekend.

NEWSFLASH: Keir Starmer U-turns & now agrees to Andy Burnham running , demands Gorton recount

Graceful in defeat.

In my case, yes!

Just got my ticket for Manchester but, man, are they pricey! Good job I live near the Arena so it's only a tram journey for me. Can't wait!

I was at my brother-in-law's earlier, who lives in Denton, and I stressed to him to use his vote wisely on Thursday... "Vote Green! Even if you think you are Labour through and through, vote tactically and keep R*form out." #VoteGreen #VoteForHannah #HopeNotHate #ByElection

That new At The Gates single is killer, but man is that video a heartbreaker and a half.

King Donald the Mad boasts his funeral will draw a “much bigger crowd” than Dick Cheney's.

I'm reminded of Franke Boyle's remark on the £3m spent on Thatcher's funeral.

For £3m you could give everyone in Scotland a shovel, and we'd dig a hole so deep we could hand her over to Satan in person.”

Bumped into her (flanked by some generals, so my Dad always reminds me!) at Sligo races in 1992. Very pleasant and we later drank to meeting the President that day.

Quite envious of Alfie, just on BBC Breakfast (although I'm really happy for him, honestly!), after having his leg fixed with magnets. I wish they'd have done that to my left leg 60 years ago! Although, knowing Tameside, they'd have amputated by mistake! #AlfiesLeg #BBCBreakfast

It looks like I can't retort with "Road Tax was abolished in 1937, the same year City last did the double over Liverpool" any more. Ah well... #mcfc

I warned Starmer about Mandelson.
My wife Bunty did
So did Dean our paperboy
Ramrod our Lab did.
Jill in the village shop baked some warning baps for him & Simple Sally, who helps Jill, warned him using dance & spit.
Ronnie Pickering warned him.
So did Chaka Demus.
And Pliers.
Why didn’t he LISTEN?🤦🏻‍♂️

The cover of the album Woodcut by Big Big Train. The central image is a black and white swirl of woodland objects: trees, leaves, woodland, set within a shake resembling a cut from a trunk. Embossed in white, so not really visible, at the top is Big Big Train, and at the bottom, Woodcut.

Arrived yesterday, the new album by @bigbigtrain.bsky.social Woodcut. A double album on green vinyl, no less. Every release is always a journey and I expect this to be the same. Love BBT. #BigBigTrain #BBT #woodcut #vinyl #LP #record #VinylRecord #album #prog #ProgRock

I so wish Audenshaw was still in the Denton constituency, but, alas....

Exclusive: Zack Polanski Accuses Nigel Farage Of 'Running Scared' Of Head-To-Head Debate The Reform leader said "if you pick a fight which a chimney sweep you get covered in soot".

We have 400 volunteers on the streets of Gorton and Denton today.

Labour are out of it. It's Greens vs Reform.

Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.

Board of Peace - Season 1

A photo of the front cover of issue 1668 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” The main cover line reads “LORD MANDELSON IN DISGRACE.” The central image shows a blurred, photograph of a Mandelson standing indoors wearing a T-shirt and underwear, holding a folder. Surrounding the image are multiple speech bubbles, including: “I’ve let myself down, my party down and my trousers down,” “He’s going to pay for this – which makes a change!”, “Talk about a cheques offender!”, “He will need some decent briefs!”, “Time to strip him of his title as well!”, “Oh no! He’s into M&S!” and “Can we have a cover up, please!”

Lord Mandelson in disgrace

The new Private Eye is out now.
