#WorldBookDay Back late from Scotland last night, cutting up clothes, making badges, repurposing the college students old school blazer to create Scarlett from the “Scarlett and Ivy” books by Sophie Cleverly. I’ll never surpass last year’s Anne of Green Gables outfit though.

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

Remembering Pete Eveleigh ❤️ The players will be wearing Mind over MND t-shirts tomorrow in the warm-up, which will then be signed and auctioned for Mind over MND and Pete's family after the match 👏 #ECFC #SemperFidelis

Finally. My garden will look beautiful for about 3 weeks and then we will be slip sliding away for the remainder of the season and and every massive leaf fall will suffocate the lawn #magnolia #spring #notRaining #mustRememberToRake

Visited the wonderful #Exeter Trading Hub at the weekend. Absolute flashback to variations of Humpty Dumpty’s made by our grandmas from their fabric scraps, I swear we all had one, just the fabric was different. Was there a free pattern in the local paper wonder…

Washing day was Monday in the 1970s in my terraced back street. In school holidays we would cycle from top to bottom through everyone’s fragrant bed sheets. I am aware I sound ancient when I tell my children these stories! (Don’t get me started on snow drifts)

It's Monday again and today I'm reading "Monk and Robot" by Becky Chambers What book(s) are you reading this week? 💙📚 #BookSky #AmReading #MondayReads #TBR alt text in images please

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

I’m usually away at this time of year, invariably missing the moment when the primroses start blooming at the bottom of the garden. It is difficult to think of a plant that carries the hope and freshness of spring the way a primrose does. Worth staying home for.

Honestly, the sun was shining and there was a splash park for our lion to play in.This wasn’t even the final score #ecfc #football #wegoagain

For Pete ❤️

Oswald Mosley formed the 'New Party' on this day 1931. It soon became the British Union of Fascists. Mosleys were feudal lords of the manor of Manchester for more than 200 years from 1596. Mosley Street, West Mosley Street and Lower Mosley Street are named after them.

Has the person behind the Allister Heath headline generator created something similar for Kemi Badenoch? Breathtaking lack of self awareness from the leader of a party that polled 1.9%.

Let’s not forget that the Monster Raving Looney Party had their best ever performance, with 28.7% of the vote

Exciting 👻

Fair.

In honour of the Sunday Telegraph's editor and offical maddest columnist, we have created the Allister Heath headline generator... stirring-fox-7e1fab.netlify.app

Such sad news.My son remembers Pete really powerfully from when he was at #Exeter football holidays clubs. Pete & his family did so much to raise awareness of #MotorNeuroneDisease For people affected check out @denpruexeter.bsky.social using research to influence neurodegeneration policy inc. #MND

More nonsense from @theguardian.com as every good progressive Government policy is now interpreted as “an attempt to stave off the Green Party threat”, when it is simply the delivery of what was in our manifesto. 🙄

Ha, ha. As a Greater #Manchester child this thread is v funny

Just written to my MP @jamesnaish.bsky.social “I’ve been involved in end-of-life care planning projects in Nottinghamshire, and feel people with dementia deserve more investment in care at this stage, as people have a right to choices, dignity and pain control at end of life. @dementiauk.bsky.social

I love the idea of some hotel receptionist saying “And we’re looking forward to welcoming Lord Mandelson next week as well“ and Hoyle saying “wait what”
