Barrister. Dad. Lib Dem. Sunderland fan. Massive history geek. Like a pint. One day I will make a load of pogs with Brian Noble’s face on them. You see if I don’t.
Saw Hercules in the West End today. It was brilliant! There you go Disney, stick that on a poster.
It possibly says quite a lot about my current state of equilibrium that I read this as “please drive forward into the abyss”.
She's had a shocker there has the VP of Argentina. Show me one English person who doesn't love the idea of being a "usurping pirate". YAAARRRRGGGGHHHH! AVAST YE SCURVY HANDBALLING CHEATS! Just feels good. #engvarg #england #argentina #falklands #selfdetermination
This is as random as you please from Erling Haaland and I couldn’t be more here for it. If I had a penny for every time I’ve banged on about the lack of booze based taxidermy.
Words to live by. Thanks to @scaramucci.bsky.social on @restispoliticsus.bsky.social for the inspiration!
READ ALL ABOUT IT! DISHONEST CONMAN COMPLAINS ABOUT BEING CALLED A DISHONEST CONMAN!
There was me thinking that ‘militarily complete the job’ would already have been the key aim of the, oh what was that word again? In the name of the department that Hegseth fronts like a nazi Ken doll? War! That’s it! I thought it would have been the objective of the war. Jesus wept. Sorry Pete.
Never claimed to be a Labour Party fan but I'm a patriot before any party allegiance and it fair warms the heart to see a decent man from a party which respects democratic values utterly trounce the racist con artists of Reform and the ethnonationalist nonsense of Restore. #burnham #makerfield
Volunteering to do dawn raid leaflets for @libdems.org.uk in the Christleton & Huntington by-election seemed like a safe bet with it being held on 11th June! Good old reliable north west rain! Bracing stuff. Marvellous. Good luck to @wardiecj.bsky.social and @cwaclibdems.bsky.social today!
My foot still hurts from Saturday’s Tough Mudder 15k in Scotland. Im covered in scrapes and everywhere aches. Would I do it again? 100%. It was brilliant. The course was beautiful, savage but beautiful, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Always amazing to complete it with my amazing wife too!

Glenn knows. Well done Crystal Palace! Delighted for them. #europaconferenceleague
I grew up in NE England and it left me not exactly a massive fan of the Labour Party. But I try to be fair minded and give credit where it’s due so it’s only right to salute the Welsh Labour Spokesman for this quote in response to the Greens being caught cheating. 😂😂😂 www.itv.com/news/wales/2...
Oh go on @jd-vance-1.bsky.social be a sport and back him on this utter nonsense. Go on! You’ve told bigger lies than this. If you do it without laughing I’ll give you a twenty.
Come on @jd-vance-1.bsky.social have a go at defending this from Trump. I mean I know you sold your soul for a shot at the top job a little while ago but that’s normally just a turn of phrase. Seriously, have a punt. Might be worth wearing rubber soled shoes ⚡️⚡️⚡️ news.sky.com/story/donald...
Needless to say, I can't put it better than Geoffrey Robertson KC... #juries #jury #backlog #justiceneedsjuries @jessbrownfullermp.bsky.social @libdems.org.uk
So a recap of Sunday: #safc win; The mags lose at the last knockings again; Rory McIlroy wins the #usmasters for the second year on the spin like an absolute bloody legend; and That hideous, homophobic, hateful shitstick Orban gets his marching orders from the Hungarian people. Nice.
Great lunchtime chatting with the lovely residents of Huntington and listening to their concerns! #libdems @cwaclibdems.bsky.social
Next time someone talks to you about how great Polanski seems to be on their instagram feed read them this. If the colour doesn’t drain from their face then question whether you want to continue to associate with someone who is quite clearly off the chart INSANE. Just another snake oil salesman.
The only reassuring thing is that this has a powerful whiff of bullshit about it. Probably talked to him and some polite comment about “oh you should come sometime when we’re at home” was made. That prick will always spin that as a gilt edged invite. If he has been invited though then raise hell.
Marvellous work from @economist.com You want some ice (irony abounds) for that burn Donald? Man is just becoming a joke. #trump #iran
