Most people were probably looking at Liam Gallagher and Oasis last night on stage. Look a little closer and you’ll spot a dog called Buttons. Her’s is a remarkable story… (1/7) 🧵

I’ve had 4 calls from recruitment agencies in last two days, all desperate to fill contract vacancies in my field (Supplier Quality Engineering), with some decent £50ph salaries OUTSIDE of IR35. They’re struggling to get anyone, all the kids went to YooNee to do Finger Painting

It IS a thing. I saw more than a few desperate well to do families in Holborn and Hampstead whose children had fallen foul of dope damaging their brains, when I was police sergeant there. And that was twenty years ago and more.

No, charging VAT on private healthcare is not a re-run of the VAT/education debate. It wouldn't just impact 5% of the population - everyone who sees a private dentist/optician would pay more. And it wouldn't raise £2bn. Plausibly it would lose money. Thread

Lewis Goodall Some uncomfortable facts • The top 10% already pay more than 60% of all income tax in the UK. The bottom 50% combined contribute less than 10%. How much higher do you think the burden should go before you call it fair? • Inheritance tax already exists and it doesn’t hit

There isn't even a whiff of truth in what he's saying now is there?

The murder of Charlie Kirk is a tragedy, and a sign of the utter desperation and cowardice of those who could not defeat him in argument. Charlie Kirk has been killed not for espousing extremist views - because he didn’t. He has been killed for saying things that used to be

Matt Goodwin If you watch him debate. He was such a calm, respectful man. He always shook their hand and said agree to disagree. He never once attacked anyone on a personal level. They couldn't debate him, so they killed him.

I have resigned as the honorary secretary of the Oxford Literary Debating & Union Trust, the charity that owns the Oxford Union’s buildings, and dispenses its charitable responsibilities onto the Union as its delegate. The callousness of the Union’s President-Elect has shocked

Mr Phillips is one of my old parishioners. I trust his judgements.

Past players who Pezzolano would have dropped as #WatfordFC manager: John Barnes, Luther Blissett, Tony Coton, John McClelland, Troy Deeney, Gerard Deulofeu, Tommy Mooney, Diego Maradona, Pele.

“Also, it takes much longer To get up north, the slow way” Ian Dury - “Clever Trevor”

As you probably know - huge post event review - I submitted a statement as did all of my serial about dreadful lack of command & control that night. Gold, silver & bronze command structure was outcome of review. Commissioner authorised baton rounds but command team refused.

You might think this semantics. But it isn't. What the rape gangs scandal needs is a criminal investigation, not an inquiry. Not a sanitised, legalistic process of hordes of people being summoned and politely cross-examined, followed, doubtless after several years, by a report

We’re losing at home to Sheffield Wednesday and a pot noddle is doing the half time challenge….

CLUB STATEMENT It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that Bedlington Terriers Football Club must announce that the club will be folding with immediate effect. This is an incredibly difficult moment for everyone connected with the Terriers. A club with such a long and proud

Mick Jones of The Clash jumping in with a street band in Venice playing one of his own songs. It doesn't get much more rock and roll than this! A moment that no one can forget on that stage.

Unbeaten in 2026. Still. #watfordfc

In 1943, Paris - a woman sits in a Gestapo interrogation room, her feet bleeding, her body broken. The officers across from her know she's holding secrets. Names of British agents. Locations of resistance safe houses. Intelligence that could dismantle entire networks across

Transport for London is dropping a massive headache on West London by completely shutting down the A40 Westway in both directions starting at 10 PM on Friday, 20th March. This isn’t just a quick weekend job - the road will be closed 24/7 all the way until late April 2026 while
