I would imagine Robert Jenrick doesn’t have a single friend in this world. Everyone that meets him must think he’s a shithouse.

Racist leaves racist party to join a racist party seems to be headline news this evening.

It’s only Tuesday and I’m already over it.

A cold day and I forgot my gloves, fortunately there was a lot of clapping to be done. #MCFC

Milk delivery, Manchester, 1946 (Daily Mail).

The biggest housing crisis since the war. So many people only a month’s wages from sleeping on the streets.

One of our New Year's resolutions here at Street Sense is to help you understand homelessness a little better. So, we're publishing pieces of our glossary of terms to know when reading about housing, homelessness, and poverty, both in the paper and here.

Well today was a great start to the weekend to say the least...! Congrats in particular to all the young lads who got on the scoresheet! That's what we like to see @ManCity! Tomorrow we're back before the women play Everton from 10:30!!

Maybe in another generation When other lads have come to take our place.

COLLECTION 1 OF THE WEEKEND Men vs Exeter, Saturday 10th, KO @ 3pm 📍End of Howard Bernstein Way ⏰13:00-14:30 Will look forward to seeing Blues and @officialecfc.bsky.social @cityxtra.bsky.social @city-report.bsky.social

Periodic reminder that we can't look at our DMs on here without sending personal ID to some freaks in Silicon Valley, so if you want to chat to us about anything please email using link in bio 👍

It’s a double shite kind of weather day

Incredible how obsessed some football supporters are with empty seats. Maybe it makes them feel better as they watch their team from the safety of their armchair.

I asked the Foreign Secretary whether it would be legal if a foreign power accused the British Prime Minister of breaking its domestic laws, bombed the UK, killed dozens of British citizens and abducted the PM and his wife in the middle of the night. She refused to answer.

Tiny bit of snow last night, I didn’t share everybody’s excitement. My only thought was how long will it take me to slip over on the way to work. Don’t get old kids

Does your dog bite ?

Strange days indeed

Sea and sunshine, cold but just what the doctor ordered.

A bit of sunshine this morning

From the moment I heard Dire Straits and Sting whining on about wanting MTV I decided I didn’t want it .

Another of my watercolour drawings of Winchester from 1997 (still in my possession). I sat by some railings with my back to the cathedral and completed this on the spot even though light rain came on (I had an umbrella). #art #Winchester #enpleinair #watercolour

Happy new year

Happy new year, just had to decline a donation of a coat from a gentleman that had been drinking for some time. He had explained to me his wife hates his coat so he wanted somebody to have it. I persuaded him to maybe keep it for his walk home as it’s freezing !

Cold and foggy walk this morning. I’m working tonight so I hope everyone has a good night, and you get to spend it with people you love. Or at the very least tolerate 😉

Awake to the sound of smashing glass shouting and swearing earlier this morning. No drama just the bin collection day.

Our supporter Margaret has been knitting for nearly 90 years and could not bear the thought of anyone going without especially at Christmas. So she knitted all kinds of toys, selling them to help end homelessness. THANK YOU Margaret for your compassion & commitment. ❤️

Why would anybody support this behaviour. The lowest of the low, shove your traditions up your arse. I guess it’s supporters will want to bring back other old classics like throwing witches into the village pond.

People turning up to clap and cheer wankers on horse back and packs of dogs. As bad as the low life taking part.

Back in M14 and more cracker-based Swales skulduggery. Is that a new raincoat Peter?

My faith in humanity restored today, lots of people making donations to the homeless shelter where I work. Two young kids with their mum came up with wrapped presents, they said they were going without a couple presents so they could give people without a home a smile 😊 #homelessness

Housing shouldn’t be an asset class. It’s where humans sleep. If you treat shelter like a commodity, don’t be surprised when homelessness becomes normalised. #SocialistSunday #EndHomelessness
