Full time: Derby take all 3 points tonight after 2 more goals in the 2nd half gives us a 3-0 win. BP with 2 goals for us couldn't get his Pat-trick but it'll come. Thommo grabbed his 1st of the season with a cracking shot. Sat will be a completely different test. Enjoy the night. #dcfc #dcfcfans

Let's hope we leave Hillsbough with all our legs tonight. There's some bitter tackles going in.. #dcfc #dcfcfans

BP shoots but would the pass to BBD been better at that point? And no i wouldn't have passed on a pat-trick. #dcfc #dcfcfans

Soooooooo what do we think, will BP go and get himself his 1st hat trick for #dcfc tonight? #dcfc #dcfcfans

WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!! BIG PAT for 3.. Brewster made that.. #dcfc #dcfcfans

THOMMO!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!! And it's a home grown goal! that's what we needed and now we go for more! #dcfc #dcfcfans

The leaders of the UK, Germany, France, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Norway, Sweden and the Presidents of the EU have signed a joint statement on Peace for Ukraine. It goes further and gives more specific details on post-peace plans than we've seen before. 1/2

And it's half-time. Derby take a 1-0 led in to the break. Weds trying to play out from the back has caused them problems. Big Pat on hand gave #dcfc the lead. Derby should have been out of sight by now, but we have failed to string 2 passes together at times. #dcfcfans

BBD shoots.. just wide.. This lad needs a goal.. #dcfc #dcfcfans

Concentrate and go in 1 up. 2 would be better.. #dcfc #dcfcfans

GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL ! Big Pat grabs a goal.. #PHEW #dcfc #dcfcfans It's #swfc 0-1 #dcfc

Great news for post-16 education! Government announces £570m funding for the expansion of local colleges. It includes funding to accommodate the expected 67,000 increase in students expected to enter post-16 education by 2028. £100m is being devolved to elected mayors & local leaders. 1/3

Reform urged to sack candidate for 'go home' post It’s not his only comment, as with all these Reform UK racists, there’s always more than one. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Good Evening Rams family. Feeling confident tonight, Would like to see us start fast and dominate the 1st half 3-4 goals and flying... It is going to happen at some point.. Why not tonight? #dcfc #dcfcfans

The debate in the Commons to consider the Lords amendments to the Employment Rights Bill for the 4th time has begun! Tory caricature, Desmond Swayne, interupted Minister @katedeardenmp.bsky.social, with what he likely though was a strong intervention. But it brough out the fight in Angela Rayner!

You don't have to be a fan of the PM to find this noteworthy. 'Keir Starmer topped Ukrainians’ trust rankings of world leaders in 2025, while Trump saw a record decline. The findings are part of the Ukrainian Public Sentiment survey conducted 15 Dec.' #c4news english.nv.ua/nation/starm...

Not one major UK political party has totally quit twitter/X. All keep posting, including the Lib Dems, Greens and Your Party MPs. But only Labour gets criticised for not doing so....why?

No doubt this is just the tip of the iceberg. How many bots? How many fake channels? How much AI generated misinformation... ...is being created, shared, and believed across social media channels. This is what we are up against, & why is it so important we must keep backing our Labour government!

Well it’s been quite a mixed week in Parliament when it comes to government business. The obvious issue is the Employment Rights Bill being blocked by the Lords again. But two bills now go off for Royal Assent & several others make progress. 1/2 Read at: warrenoates1.substack.com/p/whats-happ...

I've put my post about successful efforts to tackle the small boats over on Substack too. Would be great, if you have a Substack account, if you could like and share it on there too, so more people see this good news! open.substack.com/pub/warrenoa...

What has Labour even done for us since getting into power? Quite a lot actually and they are just getting going! Here are a few things (and I lost count)..and it's just a fraction of what they have done! Let's get behind this Labour government! They are changing lives for the better!

You hear loads of nonsense about clean energy jobs. But ignore the naysayers, the gloomsters and the doomsters. Clean energy is the future. Clean energy jobs offer hope, security and a future for our young people. Ed gets it. Labour gets it. I get it. Do you?

28 days in a row… and no boat crossings… Have Labour maybe actually “Stopped the boats” ??

Just the UK repairing relations with another EU member state. All part of the long road we must steadily pass along if there is EVER to be ANYTHING better in the future. -- The UK & Belgian PMs met today in Downing Street today to discuss the close and growing relations between the countries 1/2

Did you know... ...over £435m has been paid out to UK farmers since the 1st December for their Countryside Stewardship &Environmental Stewardship payments. Over three quarters of eligible farmers have so far recieved their funds - 28,351 - with the rest due to get theirs across December & beyond.

More reason not to listen to the naysayers than those you constantly criticise our Labour government! £3bn investment for children with SEND to create around 50,000 specialist places in local schools – making sure more children with SEND can thrive alongside their friends at their local school.

There has been SO MUCH excellent news coming out from the Labour government the last couple of weeks. So much! And exactly the sorts of things our country needs & what we voted for! So to the naysayers & those intent on constantly criticising our Labour government...just give it a bloody rest!

The Lords blocked the Employment Right's Bill again last night. Thanfully on just one point about unfair dismissal...but it's still delaying the WHOLE bill further! 244 to 220. So who is among the 244? 202 Tories 26 crossbenchers 9 non-affiliated 3 DUP 3 UUP 1 bishop Look at the names... 1/3

The Labour government is totally ignoring the Grangemouth site in Scotland, I am regularly told. I therefore must be hallucinating this first government backed project that will act as a catalyst for future, clean, industrial uses for the site. The project is for Scottish biotech company MiAlgae.

The Labour government are looking to support small businesses with sustainability efforts while also supporting the businesses with costs. Examples include a trial of helping 600 hospitality businesses with free energy usage and assessments to reduce energy use - saving them £3m a year. 1/2

Full time and a scrappy game ended 1-1. I didn't feel we did enough to win it but happily we didn't lose it. Poor Matt Clarke with an own goal left us looking at defeat until He headed home to atone and earn us a draw. Nothing to shout about other than Brewsters effort from 30 yards #dcfc #dcfcfans

Oh..It's a Cooper own goal!! So 2 own goals..And Brewster from 30 yards only just misses... #dcfc #dcfcfans

10th Corner can we score from this one? Ward... to CLARKE .. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL Matt clarke scores his 2nd.. he atones for his mistake.. it's 1-1 guys.. #dcfc #dcfcfans

And It sound like we have been buggered by an own goal from Matt Clarke.. So a scrappy game that's going to be decided by an own goal.. unless we can find a reply or 2... #dcfc #dcfcfans

Derby are really trying to get that winner but leave themselves open to counter. Got to be mindful of the counter when we push #dcfc #dcfcfans

Here come the changes BBD for Brewster And Salvesen on for Weimann. now go for it lads.. #dcfc #dcfcfans

Subs incoming for #dcfc Brewster and Salvesen to come on for BBD and Weimann? #dcfcfans

This is starting to get a bit nervy... Calm down Derby. #dcfc #dcfcfans

Zetterstrom to #dcfc rescue after millwall break on us..

Azeez is going to be a bloody pain and if we don't take care of him better could really cost us. #dcfc #dcfcfans

Every week, there are more and more announcements from the Labour government for actions which will transform our country for the better. This last week it's mostly been about young people, for example. But you let in a Reform or a Tory government and all that will be gone. Ended. No more. 1/2

Halftime and it's 0-0 at Pride Park. A scrappy game with the only time the ball was in the back of the net it was offside. (lucky us) A moment of Quality will win this, but from who... #dcfc #dcfcfans

Big Pat after a good move just couldn't get on the end of that ward cross just behind him from the sounds of it. #dcfc #dcfcfans

I think that both the Planning and Infrastructure Bill and the Employment Rights Bill may have just finished their passage through Parliament today and now go off for Royal Assent. I am not seeing this reported anywhere yet, but having just tried to watch some of the Lords proceedings... 1/2

#dcfc trying to sustain some pressure on Millwall, Some close efforts being produced. #dcfcfans

Big Pat headed just wide from a good ward cross from the freekick. #dcfc #dcfcfans

The Office for Product Safety & Standards has put out an urgent safety check for tumbler dryers. Around 85k dryers still need to be checked. The advice is to not use them until they have been repaired, & unplug if possible, due to risk of igniting during normal use. 1/2

New members of the Lords have been announced today. 28 in total - 25 Labour, 5 Lib Dem, 3 Tory and 1 Crossbench It is reported as an attempt to make the balance of power in the Lords more in favour of the Labour government, as the Lords are slowing down and blocking manifesto legislation. 1/3

Oh dear! The Lib Dems and PC sided with the Tories in opposing the setting up of GB Railways and reforming the railway systems so it works better for passengers. Thankfully it passed its second reading in the Commons yesterday. 1/2

Weimann and Thompson in, Out go Salvesen and Adams. Langaas captains us tonight, Brewster makes the bench. #dcfc #dcfcfans
