As Bruce would say, better days are shining through. #Labour

My daughter is off for an early afternoon nap. When she wakes up we’ll have a Labour government. Lovely stuff. #Labour

Looking forward to tonight’s photo of the new PM and Chancellor watching the football in Number 11, surrounded by Wotsits and Tetleys, just like TB/GB.

I’d have loved Starmer to have used Alan Shearer’s, “Pressure is for tyres” line when he was asked how he’d delivered Labour’s return to government.

RIP John Mayall (1933-2024), an inspiring performer who played a huge role in bringing British blues to the world. x.com/JBoixag/status…

I don’t really get opening ceremonies. Just get on with the Snooker.

A quick shout out to DANSA - Community Transport whose team are always and unfailingly brilliant, kind and supportive helping my mum to hospital appointments. Community transport might not be particularly sexy and get the recognition it deserves, but, my god, what an utterly vital service.

It’s surely time we put new, legislative limits on the amount of time Halloween goes on for? I’ve become a big supporter of those campaigning for ‘The Halloween Festivities Restrictions (Wales) Bill’

Cannot. Wait. 🍿

Thank you Daryl Leeworthy for your wonderful Gwyn Thomas biography. It was such a joy to read from page 1. I couldn’t help reading sections in my head in his voice!

Ted Heath, Jack Jones, Arthur Schlesinger, Ralf Dahrendorf and Shirley Williams all pop to JK Galbraith’s house in Vermont for the weekend. TV Gold. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

Tony Crosland, Brendan Behan, Alan Curtis, Jackie Mason, Megan Lloyd George, Prince, Steve Fenwick, AJP Taylor and Gladstone.

Really sad to hear about Robin Smith. It was often very bleak watching England in the 90s, but his tenacity, his energy and his determination - particularly against a pace attack - always made him exciting to watch. theguardian.com/sport/2025/dec…

The only thing missing from this draw is Terry Wogan’s commentary. #WorldCup2026

This is a long way from Graham Kelly and the velvet bag. #WorldCup2026

They picked the wrong hosts for this draw. It needed a stronger hand on the tiller to keep Shaq in check. They should have got Arfon Haines-Davies. #FIFAWorldCup

As a Wales fan I’m looking forward to playing this French side in the same way as I look forward to root canal surgery. #SixNations

Yes, I’m sure that shutting down professional rugby in a large swathe of the country will sort this all out… #ENGWAL

Fair play, Chris Mason does have some lovely doors.
