Cos we’re ALL LEEDS ARENT WE! 💛💙 #ALAW #MOT @leedsunited Wish he was playing for #England

Having worked around place for over 30yrs I’ve long known the absence of understanding of place has been at heart of why ppl outside Lnd / wealthy SE feel so pushed out. It’s essential & Westminster bubble doesn’t have it If Burnham can bring this understanding I’m all for it Happy to expand

I’ll be in conversation with Pru Leith next Saturday - 4th July in the majestic St George’s Hall. Talking getting old, her life, colour and of course cakes! Get your tickets before they sell out. @bradfordlitfest #GBBO #bakeoff #prulieth

Some people argue we can’t afford to take action on climate What those of us who campaigned on climate for decades is that the cost of dealing with the very many and varied real impacts will happen anyway So why not just invest properly and create loads of jobs at same time

Imagine being the worlds first Trillionaire and doing nothing to eradicate poverty, to support communities around the world, to build infrastructure and services like hospitals and schools that directly improve people’s lives I cannot imagine that. When someone tells you who they are, believe them

I travel a lot on trains At just 5’ tall its hard for me to reach above seat luggage racks. often I have to stand on the seat to put my small rucksack up Tonight I had to do it 4 times. Not one of the tall (mainly men) sat near/under offered to help. Can’t remember last time someone did

London-bound with the final proof of my debut book “Matching Rucksacks - A Travelogue Love Story” So excited. Here’s what one of the UK top comedy writers has said of it: "Absolutely gorgeous. A funny, moving, very human one-of-a-kind travelogue fizzing with

Binged the @KylieMinogue doc on Friday night. Only served to reaffirm the truth I’ve always known- that if we ever met each other we would be besties BFFs for ever! 👯🩷 God I love her And ps -I’ve always rated Indie Kylie too. Some Kind of Bliss and Giving It Up and more are cracking tracks.

Call me very naive or unworldly, but I genuinely do not understand why people with more money and assets than they could ever spend or use do anything to keep accumulating even more Why🤷🏻‍♀️🧐? Once you have all you want & need, why not pay taxes & do all you can to help humanity?

Just listed to ko ko Gary O’Donoghue on #DesertIslandDiscs. Fantastic. He’s such a great proper journalist reporter and there’s a super moving moment in this which I think is a radio moment of the year. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Well that’s the first time I’ve heard/seen the UK entry. Can’t help feeling if it was another country’s entry I’d be cheering it on as exactly what Eurovision should be. #Eurovision

Sounds like @NazShahBfd played a blinder today in Parliament. #BigUpBradford🖤💚🩷 #UKCurryCapital #bradford

I have really fallen for Kush and Jo @RATW_official What great young men they are. They have such a strong, fantastic friendship and are so thoughtful and open despite having had tough lives so far. Love them. #raceacrosstheworld

First edit of my forthcoming book landed in my inbox today. Soooooooooo exciting.

I have to be honest, and you can say well I would say this wouldn’t it, but every time we have heard about another case I always think this. And it’s true that being an older women is the hardest to be in terms of presenting opportunities. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

🧵🪡 It has made me furious over recent years that so many in London based media have had an assumption that everyone in the north supports Reform and the Reform agenda. There has been a total lack of nuance and sophistication in the analysis of the politics of people /2 www.joe.co.uk/politics/lat...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Kind message James, but please remember there is not such thing as child prostitution, only child s3xual abuse.

“But which major acts are doing them? Well, the quicker question is who isn’t? ….. Siegan can only think of three artists who haven’t done them: The Cure, Bruce Springsteen and Depeche Mode.” Nuff said. www.vice.com/en/article/b...

Looks like the 3 Dictators agreeing to carve up the world theory - Putin Europe, Xi Jinping Asia and Africa, Trump Americas - isn’t too far wrong.

Oh my Leeds Days! 💙💛 #Leeds #southkorea 🇬🇧🇰🇷 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ok. So putting this out there now. I think Harriet and Hugo are a couple. But loving the secret traitor twist. #TraitorsUK26 #theTraitorsUK

Wow. Even just on TV the London NYE Fireworks were amazing. And 💖💖💖 the spirit of it being about everyone and diversity. 🎆🎇🥳🌟🤩🌟 🎆🎇

I genuinely don’t understand how people can give & receive so many presents one day and then need to go shopping for more stuff the very next day. The world is drowning in stuff and needs way more love. So stop the stuff and please more love, time and thought. The best presents.

I am far from well off, and It’s almost nothing but I would be happy to pay a lot more than this knowing that over 1m children will be lifted out of poverty or live in less poverty. It’s the absolute basics of a civilised society. Those of us who can should be paying more for this

I did a short #podcast 12 Days of COP each day from #COP in Glasgow. The discussions still stand & extremely worryingly we are not much further forward. Listen on your podcast app “12 Days of COP” #COP30 #ClimateAction #journalist #podcasthost Apple: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/1...

#COP30 is on. Many experts say just a few years to halt climate catastrophe. Others predict a 3° rise by 2050 which basically means can’t grow much food & much of the planet inhabitable Yet some carbon funded politicians want us to argue over culture wars or similar 🤷🏻‍♀️🧐

A new chapter for the BBC. Whoever comes next I hope they re-invigorate BBC local radio and regional broadcasting. That’s where so much real connection with audiences was. Being part of local areas and visible. Having the resources to fully know the patch and be a major part of them.

Being PM has similarlities to being a football manager. Unless voted out chances are you will eventually be unceremoniously sacked anyway by your own side.

#BDisLit last night was utterly fantastic. @bradford2025 has smashed it this year - proving what so many of us have argued for years. That culture can be the thing that regenerates and transforms And it makes us happy as the smiles and joy last night shows. Win wins.

I’ve supported universal basic income as long as I can remember Mid 90s- I did the Political Slot on @Channel4 for @TheGreenParty. I chose to do it on UBI. I had to practice saying “basic PAUSE income” cos no one knew what it was and could think I was saying “base king come”

a good day for democracy - When someone without big money vested financial interests backing wins an election.

Billie Eilish is so right. No one needs to be a billionaire Somehow western societies have accepted that more more more is not just OK but what we should aspire to and it’s a disaster if not. We don’t always need more. Because it’s destroying societies and killing our planet

Still struggling to get used to wearing glasses all the time. They do not fit easily with radio presenter headphones. 😳🎙️🎧🤓 #radiopresenter #broadcaster

Ey up! Chuck D just came up to our table and said hello and I replied “you alright Chuck” in my best Leeds accent without thinking. 😳🤦🏼‍♀️🫣. #PublicEnemyNo1 🤣 #LIFI25

Genuinely, I’m not sure I can claim to speak read and write English to A Level standard. My mother once tried to teach me some Latin. She gave up because she said I didn’t understand English grammar enough.

Been out asking some big questions of the people of #Leeds before this years @LeedsIntFest Just a few tickets left now. #LIFI25 #interviewer @LeedsBID leedsinternationalfestival.com

Proper upset about #JillyCooper. My fav writer. I read all The Rutshire chronicles from start to finish every few years and they never tire. That’s because she brings a person alive on the page better than anyone Loss of a true British cultural icon. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cg...
