Unemployment falls & pay still rising faster than inflation. Well done #Labour 👏👏 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#OnThisDay in ’85 Ayrton Senna scored his first #F1 GP win, at Estoril, in teeming rain. It was a superb victory, stunning in its dominance (he lapped all but one other driver) & elegant in its execution, & what a fab pic my old mate Steven Tee took of Lotus team manager Peter Warr!

An emotional first win since Austria 1982 for #TeamLotus and their first since the death of founder Colin Chapman. A brilliant drive by the legendary Ayrton Senna. #F1 🏁

Those red ear pieces worn by the World Snooker audience look like 30 year old technology. Did someone at the Crucible pick them up on the cheap from the local market? 😁

Formula 1 makes series of rule changes to address new engine regulation concerns - BBC Sport www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formul...

Starmer still leading the critical “Best PM” poll, despite best efforts from the media to trash him all year.

I've been following #F1 for 50 years and all sorts of buzz words & phrases have emerged over that time. I can confidently say that "super-clipping" is the most ridiculous. I'll be glad to see the back of it.

I'm sure #Trump said that an Iran peace deal was all but done. Could he have been lying? 🤔

Sun is shining and I'm sitting in my garden summerhouse, cup of tea in hand, listening to Man City v Arsenal on the radio. Life is good 😀

23.22 in this morning's Run-Walk-Local 5k at Hilsea. A new best time of the year so far for me. Preparations for next month's Bognor 10k seem to be going well. 😀

Another huge game for #Pompey today. Beat Leicester and safety will be virtually assured. But it's Pompey and nothing is ever guaranteed. As fans, we just need to get behind the team as we did on Tuesday night. #PUP

A fascinating documentary. Spoiler alert: they weren't made by aliens! 😁 www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

A 1-2 for #TeamLotus! The Lotus 79 wins the vote ahead of the Lotus 49 😀🏁. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formul...

Entry completed for the #Gosport Half Marathon in November. It'll be tough but I'm already looking forward to the challenge. 🏃🏅

Just 2 days ago, the IMF lowered its prediction for UK GDP in 2026 to 0.8%. Today, we find out that we've already had 0.5% growth in February alone! Utterly embarrassing for the IMF who were so determined to fuel criticism of our hard working #Labour government! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great news for #Labour and the UK 👍. Mortifying for all those who spend their lives talking down the government's economic policies but also extremely frustrating that this solid progress is now threatened by Trump's illegal war. 😠 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not that it mattered, but surely this should have been a penalty? 🧐 #Pompey

Who would have predicted this before last night! Don't worry, the mutual respect won't last long! 😂🤣😂 #Pompey #Saints

Superb performances from every player in a blue shirt tonight. A brilliant 2-0 win against a very good team. Love Fratton Park matches under the lights 😀. #Pompey #PUP

The level of stupidity of #Brexit voters is still hard to believe, even after nearly 10 years! 😠 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

1986: A drag race to the finish line #OnThisDay 13th April, the 1986 Spanish Grand Prix delivered a thrilling finish as Ayrton Senna in a Lotus-Renault edged out the Williams-Honda of Nigel Mansell by just 0.014 of a second in a dramatic drag race to the line. #f1 #formula1

A great day for liberal democracy in Europe....and a brutal kick in the teeth for Trump & Vance. Thank you Hungary & congratulations 👍 www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c2...

Yup 🤷‍♂️ #TrumpLunacy

No, it's a major scandal for #Reform. Don't let these #crooks anywhere near government! 😠 #TaxDodgers #NoToFarage #StopFarage www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

OMG! We've only gone and won it!!! 😁 Play up #Pompey!

Welcome home #ArtemisII 🚀 A fantastic achievement and a much needed distraction from Trump's madness hear on earth. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c3...

13 years ago today. Never forget those who saved this football club, never forgive those who conspired to destroy it. #Pompey

When I visited Classic #TeamLotus in October 2023 for a shop tour, it started with a briefing covering the history of the team. Our host, who was a fan in the 60's before working at the factory, got emotional recalling Jim Clark's death. All these years later, his tragic loss is still raw in Hethel.

Jim Clark lost his life in an #F2 race at Hockenheim #OnThisDay in ’68. There have been other great drivers but none greater. Pic: Lotus 33, Zandvoort, ’65, taken by Yves Debraine.

Expecting #Trump to #taco again at any minute.....⌛ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

That red card was the worst refereeing decision that I've seen in 55 years of watching #Pompey at Fratton Park. An absolute disgrace that's cost us a vital win. Credit to all the team for fighting back in such adversity. Surely our luck must change soon?

Today, the Government’s choice to scrap the two-child limit introduced by the Conservatives comes into effect. This will benefit 165,050 children across South East England, including over 5,000 here in Portsmouth.

Match day and a genuine 'must-win' game for #Pompey. Like never before, we need the return of Fortress Fratton, manned by a passionate #BlueArmy. Our Championship survival may depend on it. Play up Pompey! ⚽ #LoudAndProud #PUP #PrideOfTheSouth

Quite extraordinary! One of my friends is a Leeds fan. Can't imagine what's he thinking now! 😲 #Leeds #WHU

This is the President of the United States. On Easter Sunday. To use some "presidential" language of my own: anybody who still supports this madman is f***ing brainwashed.

Pleased with 23.33 in this morning's Run-Walk-Local 5k at Hilsea. My best time of the year so far 😀🏃

Good to be part of the volunteering team for today's #Southsea #Parkrun, despite the early rain! 😀

On this day in 1977, a first win for the ground-effect Lotus 77, Mario Andretti taking the chequered flag in the US GP West at Long Beach 🏁🏆 #TeamLotus

Photos of Frontage 3 at #Southsea, opened today for the first time. There were plenty of people out walking and enjoying it this afternoon 😀 #Portsmouth #Pompey

Wow, that launch was nerve wracking to watch. Can't imagine what the crew & mission control were going through! Safe journey #ArtemisII 🚀👨‍🚀

Watching live coverage of the #ArtemisII launch. Couldn't miss this moment in history 🚀👨‍🚀

On the day of the Artemis II launch, I'm thinking back to 2016 when I was fortunate to have the opportunity to visit Space Center Houston. I stood next to a Saturn V rocket as used during the Apollo era. At 363 feet tall, its size was staggering. #SafeJourneyArtemis

The Iran war is going perfectly....for Putin! 😠

Good to see the Low Pay Commission pushing back - with evidence and data - against lazy narratives around the minimum wage, youth unemployment and the hospitality sector. www.ft.com/content/6fcd...

Well done Labour, but we still have ridiculously large disparity between highest and lowest earners in the UK. Businesses need to address that rather than moaning about the minimum wage. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Well worth a read…

If this is where the US ends up, the Trump administration is waving the white flag. Nothing about Iranian nukes, nothing about keeping the Strait open and free, nothing about regime change. A strategic waste and failure of historic proportions.

This is an absolute disgrace. Just when you think #Trump can't fall any lower, he somehow sinks to new depths 😠

So the main war objective is now to open the Straight of Hormuz which was fully open before the war started. Have I got that right? Is #Trump the stupidest President in US history? 🙄
