I’ve posted a few times before about the breakfast networking I do at the OEC on Thursday mornings (6:45 to 8:00). It’s decent. There’s a visitor week next week - any #OldhamHour #OAFC #Roughyeds interested? Pop me a message or reply. 25 businesses. In particular architects, plasterer, plumber, and social media and office supplies people I think would do well. Feel free to tag anyone that may benefit.

My daughter (17) is absolutely furious about this. How they enforce this is anybodies guess.
NEW: Starmer will announce an ‘Australia plus’ teen social media ban on breakfast TV tomorrow - Expected to include the same 10 apps as Aus: TikTok, YouTube, X, Instagram among them - ‘Romantic’ chatbots banned - 16 17 yr olds will have a curfew thetimes.com/article/631af41…

There now follows a party political broadcast by the Count Binface Party. And tbh it’s a banger. #Makerfield #VotingForBinface

Tweeted like a politician that has never been to a football match. Bet @jeremycorbyn is in bits
Champions at home. Runners up in Europe. What a season.

Ah! Did you not promise to serve a full term as mayor of Manchester?
I know you know this but don’t believe everything you read in the papers. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Six months ago went to see @jamesstarsailor at a tiny gig in Oldham. It was obviously, class. My lad met a girl from Coventry at that gig, and he’s celebrating his birthday and six month anniversary with her. Do you do weddings, James? (He will kill me for sending this)

Checks to see if it’s April 1st…
🚨 Crystal Palace have provoked OUTRAGE by FLYING to Brentford for their away fixture on Sunday. The flight of just 8 miles has been slammed by environmental campaigners. A #CPFC spokesman defended the decision saying it is tricky to park at the G Tech Community Stadium.

Who on earth thought this was a good idea and have they been given a disciplinary yet @Spotify? It looks awful at the standard icon size.

My gran (not your gran @Davethe25219352) if she were alive would call him a self serving mercenary ****.
BREAKING NEWS Reporters on the ground say Angela Rayner was seen in the rear of the vehicle alongside Andy Burnham. The car appears to be heading toward the Millbank Studios (BBC/Sky News). This strongly suggests a televised joint statement is imminent. We are no longer waiting for a "slow move." The arrival of Burnham and Rayner at a TV studio, combined with the 81-letter threshold being hit, means we are likely hours away from an official leadership contest being triggered.

I'm already sick of the Starmer / Streeting / Rayner / Burnham "stuff". I'll be mostly listening to Spotify today.

I went to @TheRoystonClub last night for the first time - what a great live band. 10/10 and the front man spot on. I hope they go far. Strong support act too. With @Corellamusic @theclauseuk and @TheKsUK there are some great British bands to get behind.

Why don’t you just resign now @AndyBurnhamGM and let somebody run our region who cares more about that than their own political gains? You have no respect for every person who voted for you, or for the tenure of the job you have agreed to do.

Just chatting to @maddsy84 about this lad @LRoche04 I once knew that was lovely but I don’t see anymore. Lived near @drac_uk in Cleck. Could the power of social media allow a reunion in Mill Valley Tap.
