Great to catch up Mark. The all new Cask Boddies at the Founders Hall too. Enjoy the match & round Altrincham today. The former likely harder than the latter!

It will help deliver:

🐝 Eight rail lines and 64 stations into the capped system by 2028

🐝 A new tram line to Stockport

🐝 A new tram-train service connecting Bury, Heywood, Rochdale and Oldham

🐝 New interchanges for Leigh and Bury

🐝 A new tram stop for North Manchester

Yes this place is absolutely brilliant & a firm fixture now in Alty. Dining there tonight in fact so this review has got my mouth watering!

Another 3️⃣ points in the North East this evening thanks to Regan Linney and Lucas Weaver 💪

Not a bad little three game road trip 😍

Great nights ticking round South London. My first ever visit to the famed Blythe Hill Tavern, what a pub. Then Bermondsey for Anspach & Hobday’s Arch House before ending in Kernel’s magnificent new tap room. Amazing what they’ve done with the space.

HAHAHAHAHA THIS IS GREAT. Some thin skins at Liverpool Football Club.

Absolutely magnificent weekend in NYC with the missus. Greatest city in the world no question.

LONDON TO VENICE BY TRAIN. Let’s do this!

15 years of Arsenal being patted on the head by little old City coming out here with all the RAGE from the Gunners in the comments. 22 years & counting.

Ooh can’t wait re Kernel taproom. Going down in 2 weeks & high on my list. Used to live in SE16 so badly miss that whole scene.

It’s a shocker this service. Rarely seems to run weekends either. Anyone who lives past Hale & therefore can’t rely on the tram is effectively marooned WRT public transport options.

Good away end, decent pubs. You can’t argue with Kiddy. Swap them for Solihull in the Conference proper any day of the week.

Laser-sharp rebuke of previous gov'ts on #Brexit and trade, down by most measures, from Douglas Alexander.

"As Sun-Tzu said, "tactics without strategy are simply the noise before defeat"... What's very obvious, as we look back over the last eight years, is that there was no defined strategy." ~AA

Oh Melania you are today’s top troll!

🎯 Tom Crawford = 3️⃣ points 😍

Liz Truss @trussliz In DC. The new @realDonaldTrump term can't come soon enough. The West needs it. 1:16 PM · Jan 17, 2025 · 74.8K Views

Can we send her a cease and desist letter, for reputational damage, on behalf of the country?

One of my absolute favourites in London. I used to live down the road. The variety & quality hard to beat.

Looks like he’s won a raffle to play centre half for United. Soooo bad.

Another stormer at Moss Lane as @altrinchamfc.bsky.social thrash poor Maidenhead.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1640 of Private Eye magazine with the headline "GROOMING SCANDAL LATEST." The cover features an image of Elon Musk and Nigel Farage standing together, each with speech bubbles. Elon Musk says, "You’re not the far-right man for the job," while Nigel Farage says, "He lured me in, promised me money, and then abandoned me!" The subheading teases, "INSIDE: HOW TO SHED 100 MILLION POUNDS IN A DAY!"

“You’re not the far-right man for the job”

The new Private Eye is out now

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

Yes. In particular the U.K./US intelligence agencies & military have deep fraternal ties that outweigh the imminent incumbent of the WH & whoever happens to be in office at the time. Partnerships that have endured for decades will endure four years of President Musk & his sidekick I’m certain.

Spoiler: he’s a cunt

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.

Having it report in ie 2027 would be far preferable. But honestly, it's Badenoch. Look at the state of her. She's currently running around demanding an inquiry because a far-right tech bro in the US wants one. Regardless of the timing, she will not behave responsibly.

Glorious day for the family Boxing Day walk in Hartlepool yesterday. Just a shame Pools were away at Gateshead so no match to follow up.

Absolutely disgraceful albeit not surprising. Every other country in world cricket can play in Pakistan.

Warrington is on my immediate 2025 shortlist, nice yomp down the Bridgwater Canal from Altrincham the plan. Disappointing that their Costellos doesn’t seem to have the character of the original in Alty.

If you ever get back to Moss Lane let me know & we’ll have to have a pint. Doesn’t surprise me Tom was a rolls royce of a CB. Bit like Baines is to the current team.
