Starmer has been in power for nigh on five months. Imagine the changes he will introduce over his five years. I love how they’ve all got their heads down and ear plugs in. The squeals of the rich are quite delightful, don’t you think?

Why are Guardian and Observer journalists going on strike for four days in December over the deal to offload the Observer onto a failing digital startup? Five reasons here. Please repost 🙏

Music had been a lifelong obsession for me and this is where it started! Man alive, I listened to this loads as a kid!

Last month Anthony Gordon met #NUFC fan Ivy, who was diagnosed with hyper IGE syndrome. When Anthony scored his first #ThreeLions goal on Sunday, he stayed true to a promise he made to her What a guy 🖤🤍

Okay, so I'm new here and really enjoying it but where is #nufc world. Apart from #sanjay and a few other fine folk it seems rather Toon free

It feels like first day at a new school. Looking around, trying to not to attract the attention of the big, scary boys. Seems a lot nicer than my last place though. That was scary.
