That was a vital 3 points for #Pompey. Thought Matthews & Bowat did very well. Love Devlin's attitude. Also thought Colby was quite effective when he came on. Not at his best, but better than recent weeks. Need to put some results together now. #PUP 😀

This is great news for #Labour. Of course crossings are normally lower at this time of year, but last December there were over 3200 arrivals so this is very significant progress. Lives are being saved.

The answer is yes. 23.53!! 😀 #Southsea #Parkrun

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke!

Conditions should be perfect for tomorrow's Southsea #Parkrun. Great chance of beating my best time of the year so far. 24.38 to beat. Can I do it? 🏃

Great looking livery on this newly released #Scalextric Mazda RX7 FD - Nurburgring 24 hrs - from 2007. 😀 #slotcars uk.scalextric.com/products/maz...

New Coffee Cup has just opened in Waterlooville. Not sure we needed yet another coffee shop, but at least it's a new business moving in rather than having empty premises.

An excellent shortlist for BBC Sports Personality of the year. Any of these stars would be a worthy winner.

1958 – BRM signs Behra and Schell, and Lotus announces the start of their F1 journey #OnThisDay 10 December 1957, Jean Behra and Harry Schell signed with BRM to race in the 1958 season. #f1 #formula1

Important half time change....of mug. Should guarantee 3 points now. Play up #Pompey!

Watching Liverpool, listening to #Pompey 📻

Wow, what a draw! 😀 #PUP

Two 5k runs in challenging weather this weekend. Southsea #Parkrun yesterday and Run Walk Local in Hilsea this morning. Thanks to all the volunteers for their efforts.

Congratulations to Lando Norris - 2025 world champion! What an effort though by Max Verstappen. Just 2 points adrift in the final standings. #F1 🏁

Proud to unveil the Child Poverty Strategy. Child poverty is a scourge I grew up with, it is a scourge I want to end. This government will drive the biggest reduction of child poverty in a single Parliament. This is how Labour will get there. www.gov.uk/government/p...

The 1976 Lotus 77, a car that went from struggling to qualify to leading the Swedish GP & eventually winning the Japanese GP. A lot of development went into the car throughout the season, including complete redesign of the front suspension & several aero configurations. #F1 #TeamLotus

Does anyone have a #OnePlus15? What do you think of it?

UK set for faster growth in 2026, slower inflation, OECD forecasts reut.rs/4pIRHIc

Hilarious! 👇 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Despite the worst efforts of the RW rags, Rachel Reeves is still Chancellor and the ludicrous "she lied" claims are yesterday's news. What a pathetic storm over nothing. It continues to amaze me that some people actually pay money to read these rags, particularly the Daily Mail & Daily Express! 😠

8 things Labour's budget will deliver #Budget2025

9 February, 2026. That is the date Aston Martin will unveil the AMR26. It will be their first F1 car designed under Adrian Newey.

Why, when sales of old fashioned print media like the Telegraph, the Times & the Mail are tumbling even faster than Tory poll ratings, does the BBC still use their headlines as their starting point on every news program? bylinetimes.com/2025/12/01/r...

If my @bsky.app feed is anything to go by, all these baseless attacks on Rachel Reeves are just uniting support on the left & centre left for what she did in the budget. Other grievances with #Labour are put aside. We all totally reject the misogyny, hypocrisy & dishonesty from those on the right.

To all the right wing losers wrongly accusing Rachel Reeves of lying & absurdly calling for her to resign.....Rachel & #Labour will continue to govern and rebuild our country until at least August 2029 & probably for longer. Time to dry those tears and accept reality.

What an incredible finale awaits. If Verstappen pulls this off, it'll surely be the greatest successful points chase in #F1, perhaps sporting, history.

Kemi Badenoch is totally delusional. She doesn’t give a damn about child poverty. She is a heartless bully. #BBCLauraK

Let's talk about that open letter from Nigel Farage. No mention of the NHS, of kids in poverty or employment rights. He talks about "uncontrolled immigration" just days after the announcement that it's two-thirds lower under Labour than a year earlier. He accuses Labour of economic chaos yet....1/3

Work on building up #Southsea beach was in full swing yesterday. They're working 24/7 to pump and distribute a million tonnes of shingle just east of South Parade pier. It'll form the primary flood defence for that part of the sea front. Very impressive! 👍 #Portsmouth

After ten unsuccessful long throws from Pack, I'm amazed we didn't score from the 11th, 12th, etc.... 🥴 #Pompey

What happened to the rain. No wonder we lost! 😩 #Pompey

Well it's raining today. #Pompey nearly always win in the rain at Fratton Park. So that's 3 points in the bag. End of pre-match analysis. 🧐 #PUP

John Mousinho: "This can't be another false dawn". Really? #Pompey 😕

Plus sides to today: Two-child benefit scrapped. Largely progressive tax implications. Good market reaction. No big spending cuts. Nightmare prospect of cutting funding to net zero etc avoided. It's a left-wing budget. Those who say there's no difference between Labour and Tories are bananas.

This is a Labour Government which is prioritising Portsmouth, recognising our city is fizzing with potential and the national contribution we can make as an engine for growth👇🏻

Stability under Labour 👍. What a contrast to the chaos of the Tory years!

Thanks to this Labour Government 👋👋

#Labour needs to regain the initiative & tomorrow's budget is the prefect opportunity to do that. I want to see Rachel Reeves come out fighting. Put blame on Tory & Brexit failure where it rightly belongs but more importantly explain clearly & decisively how Labour policies are right for our country

Extraordinary #F1 news. How could a team as professional as McLaren make that mistake? What a chance now for Max Verstappen to pinch the title. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formul...

So much better from #Pompey & it was the two stand-in left backs who did the damage. Brilliant goals by Swanson & Williams. Great cameo from Lang and good to see Segečić and Schmid back in the side. A much needed 3 points & a real boost in confidence for the team 👍 #PUP

Must have a look in my Dad's loft next time I visit! 🧐 www.bbc.com/news/article...

A few of my all time favourite sports car prototypes appear in this video. 😍🏁 youtube.com/watch?v=HV8n...

Good news 😀 www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c0...

Wow, what a finish to the match. Incredible. Congratulations #Scotland. You never make it easy, but you've done it! #SCOvDEN #WorldCup ⚽

#Scotland being totally outclassed at the moment. Can they turn this around?

Just see the McTominay goal for #Scotland. An incredible finish. What a time to pull of an attempt like that 👋👋 #SCOvDEN

AJ just cashing in now. He must realise he's never going to win a world title again. Sad, but you can't blame him. 💷💷💷

That number was incredible!!!!! #Strictly #Diversity
