In unsurprising news South Yorkshire Police are still a bunch of cunts. Plus ça change.

Super excited to share the cover of my children’s book Jacob’s Transition Goals! Jacob’s Transition Goals is about an 8 year old transgender boy who starts playing football for his local boys team. It’s a joyful story that I wish I’d been able to read when I was a trans kid. Out April 21st! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

Start them young @trickettengland.bsky.social

Should have put money on my Ashes prediction. I was never optimistic about this series.

Very nice furry animals

Golf is clearly way more important than results www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

Lawyer unable to research law things that they will 100% be asked in an interview in an effort not to upset the leader of a rogue state, which has just seized control of a nation and carted off its president.

A bloke who worked as a human rights lawyer can’t comment on a clear breach of international law?

I woke up this morning and was horrified by the US bombing of Venezuela. Not long after, I learned of Maduro’s kidnapping and presumed it would be widely condemned. And then this.

When even the Celtic boozers in London are singing “sack the board” they should take note (they won’t.)

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist. Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

International law openly broken and get this from the EU. Beyond awful.

In the pub for Old Firm. Discussion on Venezuela and the old boy next to me has expressed a desire for Trump to kidnap Starmer 👀

Instead of everybody making the same joke about the FIFA Peace Prize, maybe we could boycott the World Cup?

Thinking of everyone in Venezuela 🇻🇪 Solidarity with you and, not for the first (nor I imagine the last) time, fuck Trump.

Israel is saying the truth. The rest of the world is lying. Even our own eyes are lying.

Lots of hot takes on the MCG Test but I can’t see any way that a pitch producing a two-day test can be viewed positively (regardless of the quality of the teams.) It’s not good for anyone, is it? Even if a long overdue win in Australia was the result (and of course the golfers will be happy.)

Love this festive street art that has appeared overnight in London Fields.

Isn’t the answer to avoid behaviour that could lead to this?

At Sixfields last night Stewards ordered a group of Santas to remove their beards. Pognophobia or overly vigilant Campaign for Real Santas activists? @keithbeard.bsky.social

Even when I get home late there is little appetite to watch this England and Wales side. Nice to see the tail wrapped up quickly but likely it will be all over by the time I wake up.

Ooh, are Nottinghamshire CCC designing kits featuring rebellious scabs?

Listening to softish left Lucy Powell - soft left at best - trying to defend Labours racist policies without any conviction in them. Wish she would just say what she thinks. Or maybe she did by throwing “for the many not the few”into one answer 🤔

People are literally dying in hunger strikes and the media is silent. Does Palestine mean so little? Do these humans mean nothing? Hello?

Some of this umpiring is as bad as England and Wales batting and bowling. #Ashes

Feel for those who’ve paid to go over and watch this mob. #Ashes

Will add that England and Wales need quite a few more here. Yes, it's under lights but you still need a strong first innings score at the Gabba - especially without a bowler of Starc's quality in the side.

Very pleased for Root. He's waited a long time for that century.

Never been asked for the words to Wombling Merry Christmas on an away trip before.

Step counts on phones get more fucked up by time zones than humans.

Meanwhile supporting Air France cabin crew in their mission to tell entitled English people that you can’t just bring on as many bags as you like.

Excellent Europa League tonight. #Celtic #Roma

NLU-CUN-MEX-CDG-LHR 😭

Realising that there are people out there who are (were) a lot more optimistic than me about this series. I just assumed 4-1 at best (still do). #Ashes

#Ashes25 - anyone know whether the tests are available in Mexico? We thought ESPN but now think that was false hope! Can’t find anything listed either 😢

Also #Ashes25 Day too of course. Nice 9pm start here, very civilised.

Happy Día de la Revolución from Mexico. If you could sort one out back home that would be cool.

Tremendous sales technique in an alebrijes workshop and gallery we just visited in San Martín Tilcajete: ply visitors with Mezcal to soften them up. I have no doubt it works on some, even if we just enjoyed the booze. The carvings were incredible, but I’m nowhere near rich enough to commission one.

There should be mass resignations from Labour now. Unions need to show anti-racist backbone and pull funds as soon as it’s possible. Kill the fascist party masquerading as something from the left. They are utterly vile.

Even on a plane it is jam first. Obviously.

Let’s get the hell out of this country.

No better way to sell meat than a remembrancing cow outside your butchers. @remembrancewatch.bsky.social

Lovely night with @keithbeard.bsky.social remembering @megfdavies.bsky.social in one of her favourite places (The Cock.)

An important letter from @keithbeard.bsky.social Rest well @megfdavies.bsky.social ♥️ www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

RIP @chrisswift58.bsky.social, one of the last proper local sports journalists and an absolutely top bloke. #kidderminstersfinest

Lots of FC Copenhagen fans around Hackney before their trip to White Hart Lane on Tuesday. Some combining it with a trip to West Ham today, others going to QPR Wednesday. All of them loving London.

Not going to be awake but GO #BLUEJAYS. Yes, I watched you when you were shit, but so did millions of others. We all need this.
