www.bbc.com/news/article... A fantastic moment - incredible turnaround Rotherham in 2015/16 - so much credit to Cllr Chris Read, Cabinet Members,former CX Sharon Kemp, social workers Snr and Jnr, education, vol sec partners in Rotherham. Battling for the children of Rotherham.

Fantastic Alabama3 gig @hmvempireCoventry last night - great Thursday night turnout - still one of the best live bands ever. Great city centre venue close to parking and station. Thanks to neighbours for company and tickets! #supportlivemusic

Scotland 4-2 Denmark: World Cup 2026 qualifying – as it happened

Fantastic production of « Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf ?» @curveleicester.bsky.social last night, starring Cathy Tyson and Patrick Robinson. Brilliant acting and great Curve production - best thing I’ve seen for ages

Great interview with Chris Waddell, Learning Manager of the Burns Birthplace Museum,Alloway on @BBCWorldatOne today, about the power of seeing a great cultural figure’s birthplace and understanding the impact of their heritage. Great job Mr Waddell! #BurnsScottishIcon

Massive thanks to @premierinn Thurso who still had the coat I’d left behind, a week after me staying there. Thanks especially to front of house young woman who trekked upstairs to Lost and Found and looked! Brilliant ! Thank you! #GreatService

Have read it - you’re right - good book but a re- read might be timely…

Oh yes - we loved our trip to Rotherham in 2022 for the France vs Iceland game on the hottest day ever - had great chat with Icelandic fans saying “Is it always as hot as this?”

Wonderful ( air - conditioned!) village hall concert with @karentweed and Nick Wiseman - Ellis in Peckleton, Leicestershire last night. Great chat and great music - both brilliant!

This is brilliant - congratulations on your envoy role - and great that the Lewis chessmen will not be far away from their Celtic cousins in Brittany when they visit Normandy.

At long last. The PM has finally accepted that ‘youth mobility is not freedom of movement.’ A visa-based scheme is not a concession to the EU but a huge opportunity for young people on both sides of the Channel to live, study, work and love in another culture - in the way previous generations have!

Glorious defeat for Coventry in the playoffs- congratulations to Sunderland but real disappointment for Cov #SkyBlues

Just watched BBCArts doc The Last Musician of Auschwitz - incredibly powerful and moving about musician Anita Lasker- Wallfisch and other musicians caught up in The Holocaust. A reminder. #HolocaustMemorialDay

Strongly supportive of the comments of Cllr Chris Read. Entirely sane and balanced and few people have done more than him to change organisations and attitudes in reality - not just talk but action.

Justice at last. Congratulations to all involved in the campaigning.

Great livestream from Cambridge Literary Festival this evening of @ledbydonkeys.org session - interesting and enjoyable really good value.

Impressive - they wouldn’t like to come to our house for some decluttering, would they?

Wow - how cool is that…

Very sad to see the death of John Prescott. True working class hero. Was once part of small dinner with him and watched him talk personally to every waiter and waitress before engaging with any dinner guest.

Fantastic result for Scotland Team this evening in @nationsleague.bsky.social - great goals from Captain and Vice Captain - captains in their own clubs. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Happy to be @OpenUniversity for tenth anniversary of Centre for Policing Research and Learning conference. A towering achievement of Prof Jean Hartley and colleagues #CPRL10years

This sounds like a great development…
