You know when archive TV channels have that disclaimer of ‘May contain outdated attitudes’ etc? They should put that at the start of the news and Question Time as well.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

You spend a large chunk of your life being broadly approving of what the BBC does, and then watch it slowly debase itself.

In Saxthorpe, Norfolk, the grade I church of St. Andrew has had a rector from Pembroke College, Cambridge since 1347. There's uncluttered simplicity with no monuments, the windows are of 1890s Arts & Crafts design & the painted panels in the rood screen are of flowers, not biblical figures.

I've just watched the closest finish in Indy 500 history and it was very thrilling. What a race.

Scarborough this afternoon

In Scarborough's Weaponness Park conservation area, the 1912 former championship tennis clubhouse, by local celebrated #architect Sir Edwin Cooper in classic style, is listed grade II & today is, after closure since 2017, awaiting re-roofing with new Westmoreland slates & other restoration works.

So what happens when Reform take over your local council? This. #KentCountyCouncil

A view from The Grand Hotel, Scarborough.

This. God, this. It is such a manufactured panic and it started the moment they lost the fight over gay marriage. Support trans rights because it’s the right thing to do and also because this is all just a fascist push

A SHORT THREAD: today the Equality & Human Rights Commission (EHRC) published its updated code of practice with respect to trans people in the UK - which, among other things, stipulates that single-sex toilets must exclude trans people. (1/4)

I am a footloose international traveler; you are an expat escapee; they are immigrant scum.

Amen to that #swfc

My word this is a superb episode, Henning Wehn absolutely hilarious / hysterical. youtu.be/loKPU0Jl2E0?...

Technology wants us to think badly of our fellow humans. It wants us to be scared and it wants us to be isolated, and it wants to strip us of real world community. Because all of those things benefit the people making vast sums of money from technology. We should not kowtow to this bullshit.

We know the Superbowl half-time show had a galaxy of stars but are we really kidding ourselves that it was better than Bruce Forsyth at the 1974 FA Cup final?

Andy Burnham cuts a dashing figure flaunting his legs as temperatures sizzle in leadership challenge #ifmenwerechicks

It's always PE. An absolute scourge on the country and the world. Buy, strip mine for wealth while racking up debt, declare bankruptcy, move on to the next victim.

Judging by the media coverage, the biggest scandal in English football history is that a "spy" was spotted at a training ground, not that so many of its clubs are owned by brutal regimes, private equity grifters and gangsters, and take the money of quasi-criminal crypto companies and bookies.

🧵Whoever you think should be Labour's leader, they will be on a hiding to nothing for the next three years. The reason, the media. Labour, Greens, Liberal Democrats together with Plaid Cymru and the SNP are likely to face an extremely rough ride for the foreseeable future. Most national newspapers

If Channel 4's Dirty Business had been on ITV it would have been as impactful as the Post Office docu-drama.

I was a local councillor for a while back in the 1990s. This ⬇️ is true and right. It's unglamorous and hard work. All newly elected councillors need to learn this fast.

Apart from anything else, you've got to admire their commitment to delivering aggregate.

Scarborough this morning

14th December, 1971. In honour of his work for charity, 13 year old Richard James gets taken to lunch by some friends. <deep breath> Roger Moore, Sid James, Stanley Baker, Charlie Drake, Jimmy Edwards, Frankie Howerd, Vera Lynn, Max Bygraves and Michael Parkinson. BLIMEY.

Always interesting to see when columists (who are paid gargantuan salaries to pretend to be like ordinary people) actually find out what being an ordinary person is really like, briefly.

The FULL Family Fortunes "Turkey" episode is up. I always assumed the contestant just froze on the spot but it turns out he was bricking it earlier on. Look at the sweat! He's terrified Max is going to rough him up out back. youtu.be/d9hVdBWpZ2w?...

Best World Championship ever? The final and one semi went to a decider, the other semi was 17-15, the Higgins v O'Sullivan match - I think yes, probably. #thesnooker

Right then Wu, three quick frame wins please. #snooker

I’m sick of seeing that mimsy little shit Chris Mason on the news. He takes far too much pleasure in parliamentary machination than is healthy for our democracy. Anyone that pleased to be doing the job he’s got shouldn’t be allowed to do it.

Scarborough this afternoon

My favourite line in Singin’ in the rain - the finest movie musical screenplay - is the awestruck audience member observing Lina Lamont: “She’s so re-fined I think I’ll kill myself.” Tart, smart writers Betty Comden & Adolph Green were peerless. They exploded onto the scene writing the Broadway 1/3

Great to see Yize win, and in my opinion always had a far better chance of beating Murphy in the final than Allen did. #snooker

My grandma could've potted that black, and she died 12 years ago #snooker

Well, that's the worst miss I've ever seen #snooker

This is incredible for the #SheffieldWednesday fans. Announcing this in the stadium, the reaction is just 👌👌👌 #sheffieldwednesdayfc #swfc #sheffield #championship #football #footballnews #footballfans #footballculture #fyp #bluesky #sports #sport

Been here today. Saw a win and new ownership, resulting in a weird positive feeling that I've not experienced for a year or two. #swfc

⏹️ WE HAVE OUR HOME WIN!

Halifax Minster is one of Yorkshire’s great parish churches and one of the oldest landmarks in the town. Officially dedicated to St John the Baptist, the church has stood on the site for around 900 years, with parts of the present building dating mainly from the 15th century. It

Click the link below to read an excellent piece in today’s #Observer by Neil Kinnock, Labour leader from ’83 to ’92, including “Not one of the glib, deceitful promises made by the leading Brexiters has been fulfilled, & none of them ever will be.” Spot-on. #Rejoin observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

Sheep are amazing really, these big ridiculously fluffy creatures that not only look like enormous plushies, they also run up to you on seeing you and positively demand lots of cuddles, and appear to receive just as much pleasure from being cuddled as you do in cuddling them. 🐏🥰

Watching Chelsea vs Leeds is a bit like trying to decide who you want to win the war in the Gulf

Sid: This little bit of rubbish shouldn't take very long, then with a bit of luck we'll all get some kip....... Remembering Sid James whom we lost 50 years ago #OTD 26 April 1976. This clip from his brilliant performance in the episode of Hancock's Half Hour, The Missing Page
