This is one of the big accounts boosting Tommy Robinson, Farage and Reform and ‘English Patriots’. It’s Russian.

John Shiwak was an Inuk soldier with the Newfoundland Regiment (later Royal Newfoundland Regiment). Considered one of the best snipers of the war, he never made it back home. This is his story. 🧵 1/6

Ukraine is on the brink of an historic betrayal by Trump to Putin. Keir Starmer must bring our European allies together to back Zelensky, starting by seizing frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.

If Zelensky accepts this mediation, the Ukrainians will feel much as the Czechs must have felt after Munich. Despite its so-called guarantees, it will leave the country defenceless for the next Russian strike, which will not be long in coming.

St Margaret’s Church, Burnham Norton, #Norfolk. A beautiful setting, with its 11th Century tower (probably Saxon, but possibly post-Norman invasion). In any case, the final resting place of Maj David Jamieson VC, who earned his medal at Grimbosq, Normandy, in Aug 1944. #SWW #WW2 #Normandy

An innocuous looking agricultural field in north-west Norfolk, where once stood RAF Sedgeford. It began life in 1915 as a #RNAS training station and night landing ground for Great Yarmouth, before the #RFC took it over for home defence use in 1916. 1/2 #FWW #WW1 #SWW #WW2 #gwg

Lots of ways to be a man! Problems can lie in fitting into societal expectations of 'manliness', and men can be crap at dealing with that. I've never wanted to hurt myself, but many do, and a British man kills himself every two hours. It's why I support www.mensmindsmatter.org #InternationalMensDay

85 years ago #today #otd the bombing of Coventry. Terrible day for the city.

🔲 ANOTHER painful away defeat 😫 🔳 Soft underbelly 🐖 🔲 Goals a real issue 😬 🔳 Fundamental reset required? 🔍 🔲 Full-backs needed ASAP ‼️ 🔳 Where is Paul? 👀 🎧 New free-to-listen Matchday @podonthetyne.bsky.social for Brentford 3-1 #NUFC w/ @georgecaulkin.bsky.social: pod.fo/e/34f5fa

#OTD 1918 The last major action for British forces in the Great War: the Battle of the Sambre #ww1 #genealogy Here's a snapshot of one part of the battle: see www.longlongtrail.co.uk/the-liberati...

Worst #NUFC display in a long time. No energy, direction or creativity. Unsure how to explain that, even given poor away form. Starting XI poor, but subs didn't bring about positive change either. Damaging defeat in context of PL European race. Brentford very tricky next, too.

111 years ago today, the 2nd Bn Worcestershire’s stepped into a crisis at Gheluvelt and helped save the day (some have even gone as far as to suggest, the war). This was certainly a very important day in the First Battle of Ypres. #FWW #WW1 #gwg #Worcestershire #Ypres

Retracing the #WW1 footsteps of Rifleman Sidney Jenner, who was posted from 1/5 London Rifle Bde to 18 KRRC in 1917/18. This afternoon I took his grandson to the spot where he was gassed, on 3rd Sept 1918, near Vierstraat. He survived the war, but only just. @sophie1wwtours.bsky.social #SGWT

Privilege to be showing this gentleman where his grandfather fought in the #FWW, with the 1/5 London Rifle Bde, on behalf of @sophie1wwtours.bsky.social. This afternoon I took him to where Combles Trench once stood, a position his grandfather helped attack in early Sept 1916. #WW1 #SGWT

1/5 Elon Musk’s Grokipedia is out. It’s exactly what you would expect: unimpressive, biased, and built to serve Musk’s agenda. He hates Wikipedia because he can’t control it. He hates facts. Grokipedia is his attempt to replace truth with spin

Just a pile of sand, today, but during the #FWW, this was the site of a cleverly built British strongpoint that was given the name ‘The Indian Rubber House’ due to the fact that German shells frequently appeared to bounce off of it. #WW1 #GWG #SGWT

Final morning of this tour for @sophie1wwtours.bsky.social. It was concluded with a trip to Nieupoort to show three generations of this family where their ancestor, Major Malcolm Melvill MC, earned his medal in July 1917. 1/2 #FWW #WW1 #SGWT

1/2: We've had another tour out this week, this time three generations from an esteemed military family, from Colonel to student. Today they’re following in the footsteps of their relative whose courage earned him the Military Cross close to Nieuwpoort.

1/2: #OTD in 1914, the First Battle of Ypres opens. 'Favourite' is a difficult term to use sometimes when it comes to battlefields. What I mean by that in this case is, that I love taking guests to these early Great War engagements.

Another tour on behalf of @sophie1wwtours.bsky.social, and more family pilgrimages (they’re so special to be a part of). Major Rich, U Bty RHA, killed 1 Dec 1917, whilst conducting a recce for a suitable OP. Buried Villers-Faucon #CWGC #FWW #WW1 #SGWT

Now, can we please get this season going? Superb 2nd half performance, especially. Howay the lads 🖤🤍 #NUFC

Happy Birthday John Lennon the #Beatles

Storm Amy has just passed & it's now a lovely breezy day on the Salient. The day started with my usual truth & myth of the Christmas Truce stands & then it was onto Talbot House. This is on a tour arranged by @sophie1wwtours.bsky.social #WW1 #FWW #Ypres #Wipers #history

1/3: This epitomises what we do here at Sophie's Great War Tours. A tour is so much more than a journey through history. This photo captures one of those powerful moments, when hours of research, heartfelt storytelling & the uncovering of a family’s wartime story come together.

Sick Berth Steward George Trolley was mentioned in despatches by Commodore Tyrwhitt, following a very early naval engagement that took place off Heligoland on 28th August 1914. The Daily Express gave an exciting headline to the battle. 📍Coventry (St Paul’s) Cemetery 🇬🇧

On 4 Oct 1917 nr Reutel a sect of tanks from A Bn commanded by Capt Robertson attacked the German line. Assisted by Gnr Cyril Allen he marked routes & when the attack was launched led the tanks on foot. Capt Robertson was killed in the action. He was awarded the VC. Gnr Allen was awarded the DCM.

This is very sad news. Iam (Willie) was a magnificent servant to Newcastle United, as goalkeeper, coach and manager. The No.1 when I first started supporting the Mags, and a true Toon legend. #RIP Willie 🖤🤍 #NUFC ⚫️⚪️

Final full day of guiding my clients on behalf of @sophie1wwtours.bsky.social. This morning, we completed the #FWW story of Cpl Charles Thoday, 58th AIF, which took us to the east of Bellicourt. This afternoon, it was all about Pte Ronald Cameron, 3rd Bn. 3rd NZRB. 1/2 #SGWT #WW1

Special day retracing the FWW footsteps of the grandfather of these Aussie clients, on behalf of @sophie1wwtours.bsky.social. He served with 58th AIF in & around Villers-Bretonneux in 1918 & was promoted as a direct replacement for Cpl Ernest Gladstone, KIA 2/9/1918, aged just 20. #SGWT #FWW #WW1

A day on the Somme, today, following in the footsteps of Pte (later Cpl) Charles Thoday, 58th AIF, with his grandchildren. The area around Flers / Guedecourt was the main focus, as he served there in late 1916 / early 1917. In Amiens, tonight. @sophie1wwtours.bsky.social #SGWT #FWW #WW1

Guiding a Maori client in the footsteps of his Gt Grandfather, who was wounded on 7/6/17 at Messines. Took him to the NZ memorial there, and - in an otherwise cloudless sky - this fern shaped cloud appeared above where we were. Hairs standing on back of neck moment. #SGWT #NZ #FWW #WW1

Elsewhere in Belgium, tonight, that’s a great result for the Toon. #NUFC #ECL ⚫️⚪️

BREAKING🚨⚫️⚪️: Harvey Barnes' goal against Union Saint-Gilloise means he and his father, John, are the first father and son to score for the same team in Champions League history.

First full day in and around #Ypres, guiding two Australians and a New Zealander in the footsteps of their respective ancestors, on behalf of @sophie1wwtours.bsky.social #SGWT #FWW #WW1

Last night, I decided I’d quite like some whisky, so I booked a Whoosh delivery from Tesco, but because I didn’t want them to think bad of me, I also ordered some chicken breasts and toothpaste, neither of which I needed. #guiltshop

I’m old enough to remember when ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’ sounded like futuristic dystopia. #gettingold

A brave effort, tonight, but ultimately not good enough for a top, top side like Barcelona. There’ll be better nights to come, I’m sure. #NUFC ⚫️⚪️

Sad news. What an icon. #Redford www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c0...

3 shots (worth 0.45xG) 2 key passes (A pass leading to a shot) 1 goal Lovely debut from Nick Woltemade. #NUFC

Off and running. Great debut for wor Nick. #NUFC ⚫️⚪️

Murphy is a good idea today, he made Isak a star after all 😏 #NUFC

The absolutely stunning 15th century bay window in the great hall of Gainsborough Old Hall, Lincolnshire 😍🤩

I have felt powerless and disturbed since the first time I had to do an active shooter drill with my second-graders 20 years ago. Since then, more than half a million kids have personally experienced a shooting at their school and tens of millions have cowered in their classrooms imagining a shooter

My very first grandchild - born this morning - and her very happy and proud grandad. #family

Remembering my Great Great Uncle Billy Liddle. Gassed during 3rd Ypres whilst serving with 55th (West Lancs) Divisional Ammunition Column. Succumbed #OTD at Canadian No.1 Gen Hospital, Etaples, 108 years ago. Buried Etaples #CWGC
