Posted a signed jersey of mine to Ireland for a charity event over 6 weeks ago and now it’s been sent back in this state because customs refused it. Bloody Brexit definitely is not working. 🙈

A particularly surprising and emotional encounter today at Yad Vashem. Podcaster Mark Gordon came to interview Chairman Dani Dayan and, during a tour of a collection room, randomly came across a mangled metal spoon that had saved his uncle's life during the Holocaust. Mark's uncle had it in his pocket when he was shot at while fleeing a train taking Jews to a Nazi concentration camp. One of the bullets struck his leg, but the spoon absorbed most of the impact, allowing him to keep running and escape.

That moment when even the BBC admitted (very quietly) that #ItWasAScam.

Deeply disappointed to learn that disgraced liar Boris Johnson was going to be on @Channel4 election coverage, however watching Emily Maitlis completely skewering him is magnificent. #USAElections2024 #USAElections

The DMA has welcomed the increase in mineworkers pensions announced in the budget. Our Secretary Alan Mardghum said: "This will make a vital difference. But this is our money and there is still more to do." Read more: durhamminers.org/dma_welcome…
