Today I am getting my niche political kicks out of watching people discuss what a "wool" is and whether Andy Burnham is one - or is he a Scouser, a Manc, "from leafy Cheshire", metropolitan elite or something else. He's definitely an Evertonian though, of that there is no doubt!

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the day the IRA bombed Warrington town centre and killed my son Tim and 3 yr old Johnathan Ball. Words can never describe how losing a child leaves a huge hole in your heart and your family. Eternal love Tim ❤️❤️

Been telling this story since 2017.. and before that! The mayor mentioned asking the chancellor for funding almost as soon as Labour won the election in 2024. The will to make this project happen is undeniable… BUT is the government going to cough up £50m? Watch this space

An exchange like this on @BBCr4today, and of course the amazing programme that is "In Our Time" reminds me that whatever occasional grumbles I have about @BBC, it makes & broadcasts programmes no commercial company would provide, & remains central to our country's cultural life
