The team @thecitygent.bsky.social has produced something of a triumph for the 250th edition of the multi award winning publication #Bantam Progressivism

Here's a version of the English nursery rhyme, "The Grand Old Duke of York" 🎶 about the man who says he isn't going to call himself it anymore ... though whether he should be taken at his word ... 🤔 youtu.be/hoETmTJM014

Well, Reyes Cleary's goal today was the best I've ever seen live. I'm not exaggerating. Sam Walker really didn't stand much chance. As exciting a derby game as we've had at Valley Parade for quite some time. And 22228 there to see it. The Bantams and the Tykes share the spoils.

Chester has equalised in injury time against Morecambe in the FA Cup. Fin Shrimpton scored the goal, which has forced the Shrimps into a replay.

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia. I disagree. RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

The Damascena Rose Water business I visited in Bulgaria has an interesting take on the Statue of Liberty at its entrance. Look at her devilish tail. $$

Rather a good day for those of us who are of a Claret & Amber and indeed Yorkshire persuasion as I complete my holiday in the southeast Balkans. New advocates found in the Rose Valley, Bulgaria

Just watched a rerun of our game the other night on Bulgarian telly. Here's Andy Cook scoring.

Day 2 in Bulgaria. Bansko haa a charming old town district but nowadays is said to be the best ski resort in Bulgaria. No snow today, but this is a view of the 2nd highest peak in Bulgaria and 3rd in the Balkans, Mount Vihren

My first day in Bulgaria. These photos show the fountain in front of the Ivan Vazov National Theatre and right the St Aleksandar Nevski Cathedral, both in Sofia. This cathedral is the largest Orthodox cathedral on the Balkans peninsula.

We just scale even greater heights week by week. If Newcastle doesn't take us seriously, we could cause them serious inconvenience. Well done, Graham and team.

My pal Skippy I try to provide a light breakfast for him/her in the morning.

There's no excuse of ignorance any more. Every single person on that fascist march knew who Tommy Robinson was and every single one of them knew why they were there. This isn't Brexit. People weren't conned. They willingly went out to join in, led by a five times jailed thug. Stop making excuses.

The 24,075 attendance at our match against Huddersfield Town was our highest home attendance in the league in 76 years. Heady days indeed at Valley Parade. We won 3-1 by the way. #bantams

That's as well as we've played in years. We could have 7 or 8 in a really impressive all round performancem

Blimey, this is more like it. Terrific goal

The lovely old road sign still there in Eldwick, showing the routes to adventures in Gilstead, Otley & Baildon, Bingley and Morton. At the top, it has the abbreviation BUDC standing for Bingley Urban District Council which provided numerous services for the community from 1894 to 1974

It's so depressing that this bunch of crackpots, simpletons and racists has a chance of being elected.

This is just a wretched performance. I hope there's none of the usual no easy games in international football garbage. This is Andorra for Pete's sake. At least a second has just gone in, but we'll need to do better than this in Serbia.

Cas Tigers come roaring home at the Jungle in a wholly unexpected win against Wakey. Castleford 26 Wakefield 22

Right wing media has had it in for Angela Rayner from the start - they couldn’t bear a working class woman being so powerful & dynamic. She made a mistake and has paid heavily for it. Very much hope she’ll return at some point in the future - our politics desperately needs more voices like hers

Well done Andy Cook. Delighted and thrilled for the lad. Just brilliant. His two goals overcome a really resilient Grimsby, who looked like they would take the game to penalties.

Two remarkable Ambassadors for our Planet, 99 year old Sir David Attenborough and 91 year old Dr. Jane Goodall. They’ve dedicated their lives to educate and protect.. 🌍 #janegoodall #davidattenborough #nature #chimpanzees #wildlife #environment #drjanegoodall #jane #sirdavidattenborough #bbc #bsky

Womble song in its original Latin Sub terra superque Wombliundi Wimbledoniae Wombli ad sumus campi Frustis relictis utimur nos Homines malos sectamur istos Underground and over it, it's a bantam thing

Crikey, that was a right game. Could have gone either way but a rather benevolent goalie helped us to 3 points. That's 8 games unbeaten since the start of the campaign.

This exchange Vasily Stalin: Medic! [Zhukov punches him in the stomach] Zhukov: Not today! You're a f**king stain on that uniform! Jason Isaacs plays him in a Yorkshire accent, brilliant.

You've been haddocked. WELL DONE MARINERS. I'm pleased Clarke didn't miss twice! Sacking performance, you'd have thought.

3 nil at the Britannnia and in the pens at Hillsborough😏😏😏

Well that will do very nicely indeed Pecking with vigour!!!!!

Florida bans the Diary of Anne Frank. A literary classic that serves as a cautionary tale about the rise of fascism and the importance of documenting atrocities as they’re occurring. We all must document this time in history. Keep copies. Write everything down. Make sure that the truth will out.

@givebloodnhs.bsky.social with the guys of the west yorkshire blood service today in Bingley

All Saints Church, Bingley, West Yorkshire

You have to hand it to the manager. Playing as was once said of a famous game, like firemen attending the wrong fire in the first half against the best team in the league. We turn it around 180 degrees in the second. Extraordinary.

Tough as an English cricket fan to applaud Johnson but 👏👏👏👏 Spot on, mate.

What a good start for those of us with a claret and amber persuasion. Hatters swept aside by #bantams

York in fine fettle for today's #roses clash against Lancashire

A sheepdog in disguise in my bit of West Yorkshire. Well, there are #bantams everywhere.

The Pavilion, built on 1896,at Scarborough Cricket Club, taken today during the lunch interval of Yorkshire's game against Sussex.

Lined up in a row. Some canal dwellers waiting for the water bus on the Leeds Liverpool canal this morning

The First Lady of the Mercians, Aethelflaed, showing defying the rain just outside the chariot station in Tamworth, her capital today.

Now in Vancouver on my 🇨🇦 holiday & indeed on Canada Day. Sone pretty cool buildings. The Orca, the Olympic Cauldron, the twisty Vancouver House and also family some Geese sauntered across our path in Stanley Park.

Now in Vancouver on the final leg of my #Canada tour. Som early morning harbour front shots on #canadaday.

Now in Jasper, where we see this bronze sculpture of an eagle on a sphere with words from six Indigenous languages. It's the focal point of the Jasper Indigenous Exhibit. Close by in the centre of the town, and here being enjoyed by a young visitor, is the mythical Two Brothers Totem Pole.

Second day of my trip to Canada. On the left, a breathtaking view of the Rockies from our gondola as it took us to the top of Sulphur mountain. Banff is the town we see with the Rover Bow. On the right, the justly named Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park.

The famous Banff Springs Hotel where Marilyn Monroe & Roneet Mitchum stayed during their filming of the River of No Return in 1953. I got a similar view yesterday at Bow Falls, Banff National Park.

I'm on my way to 🇨🇦. Just abandoned my case on a conveyor belt which 'disappeared' my luggage like an ICE agent might a gardener in Los Angeles. There was no human intervention in the procedure except my own. There's a remote possibility we might be reconciled in Calgary.
