I’m SICK of people attacking those on benefits. I’ll say one more time. I had a partner and a beautiful family. But sadly he died. I had 4 kids by myself. I didn’t have family to help step in. I ended on benefits because I couldn’t afford childcare. My kids were 3yr, 5yr, 6yr and

Oggi passeggiata a #Guardiagrele per gustare le #SisedelleMonache, dolce simbolo del borgo: tre “monti” di pan di spagna ripieni di crema. Il vero amante le mangia senza remore, imbiancando naso, labbra e mento! 👉 shorturl.at/Ssygl #viaggioinabruzzo #Abruzzo

Let me tell you something. People don’t talk about this enough. They really don’t. The European Union? It’s big. It’s strong. Tremendously strong. Twenty-seven countries — working together. That’s power. That’s leverage. That’s winning. When you’re in the EU, you don’t go it

Once again, I post this Auschwitz Memorial photo of Istvan Reiner, as I do every year on #HolocaustMemorialDay. The Nazis had given him a ticket punch to play with. Such a radiant, happy little soul, innocent and pure. And then they gassed him, and snuffed him out. #NeverForget🕯️

Don’t want to get anyone too excited. But there’s a strange glowing orb on the eastern horizon. I think it might actually be the Sun.

I first met Rev. Jesse Jackson when I was a new MP in 1987. He was very smart, warm and hugely charismatic. A direct connection to the great era of civil rights. RIP.

Glorious entertainment at the Palladium tonight watching Clinton Baptiste commune with the spirit world in a classic venue. Ably supported by a mobility-scootering Barry from Watford before the interval. Song, dance and non stop laughter throughout. Loved it.

Simon Pegg on why he thinks fast Zombies are pointless & the movies that Edgar Wright & he watched in preparation for "Shaun of the De@d" (2004): "Interviewer: What do you think of the trend towards fast moving zombies? Pegg: I think it's kind of pointless. For me, zombies are

Someone asked if I could tell them where to buy a pair of good chinos. In this thread, I will tell you, but my answer is not simple. On the upside, I think this is a better approach when shopping for clothes and you can apply it to any kind of item. 🧵

I grew-up close to where the attack on this North West London synagogue took place. Everyone I know there is shocked and disgusted that a Jewish place of worship has been targeted. Hate crimes must never be tolerated. I hope the perpetrators are brought to justice.

My musical tribute to Football Focus: the BBC One football show which is to end this summer after 52 years. As a kid I spent many Saturday lunchtimes watching it when it was part of Grandstand. Here’s the Grandstand theme by Keith Mansfield. BBC Sport Match of the Day BBC Radio 3
