Oh and look who she follows… (and this is just a small sample!)

Screen grab of some of the terfy accounts the MP follows - including Roisin Murphy

My t-shirt for the day… I felt like this strongly back then, and am ever more vindicated!

Matt is sat in chair in study wearing a blue t-shirt with a circle of yellow stars (representing the EU flag) and the words “Oh dear” in yellow lettering within the circle.

Grim news generally about the BBC at the moment but this has cheered me up a lot!

Text reads: End of 🎾 End of an era 🚨 BBC set to demote Andrew Castle from Wimbledon after more than 20 years

Andrew Castle's long stint as one of the BBC's most recognisable Wimbledon voices looks to be coming to an end, with the veteran commentator among the big names set to be dropped as part of a major shake-up of the corporation's coverage at SW19.

Getting out those Good Morning polling day reminders! Excuse the raised pinky 😂 And don’t forget you can tell us when you’ve voted here: www.libdems.org.uk/voted #LocalElections #VoteLibDem

Got my day started with a walk in Gosforth Park woods for Molly 🐶 and litter picking at same time - and while I am on the subject please follow the excellent @pawsonplastic.bsky.social 🙂

Was out and about this afternoon delivering the winter #Ouseburn Focus in #Sandyford #Newcastle - feels a bit different delivering when your face is all over the leaflet 🙈! #LiberalDemocrat #LibDem 🔶

Picture of Matt looking at camera holding up latest edition of Focus, which includes photo of himself and the two Lib Dem Ouseburn councillors. He is on a street in Sandyford and Heaton Park is visible in the distance

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas however and wherever you are spending it. With lots of love for the coming year from Matthew and Lucas (and Molly of course!) xx #merrychristmas #dogsatchristmas #spaniel 🎄 🐶

It’s a grey rainy start to the last full working week of year so here’s Molly with a #mememonday #spaniel #gameofthrones

Back to work tomorrow after two weeks of annual leave - definitely got the Sunday scaries! Maybe making some progress this evening sorting/clearing garage will help?!

Worried looking Matthew inside his messy looking garage

Christmas cake stage 1…

Dressed up in a jacket and shirt this evening - most unusually for me! Literally the only shirt and jacket that even vaguely fit me now without giving a tent like effect 😂

Randomly decided to make some honeycomb for the first time

Pardon this indulgence once again - but it’s been about two weeks short of a year since I made the decision to seriously lose weight - and I have now reached the point of 50kg lost (that’s about 8 stone in old money)… Both photos (one last night, one in Sep 24) taken by @lfranca.uk ❤️ #weightloss

Picture of me from September 2024, when 50kg heavier wearing my progress pride flag t-shirt

Picture of me now (Sep 25) at 50kg lighter - and wearing my Abba sweater and holding glass of red wine

It was a very wet weekend woods walk this morning - Molly was keen to get back to some urgent spanieling (charging through undergrowth)

Me looking at camera, raincoat hood up, along with a very wet Molly (brown sprocker spaniel), in wet woodland on a muddy path

It’s #SpanielSunday featuring a rather hungover me and a post Gosforth Park woods Molly #sprockerspaniel

Did a spot of Friday night #baking yesterday, always therapeutic with so much to feel angry or upset about in the world. Chocolate and ginger cookies - numbers already depleted (scoffed) as of this morning 😂

Been a long while since I did a #SpanielSunday but think my timeline needs something cheery!

To make up for my doom-laden/ranty last few posts, let's board a trend! 2015 vs 2025 (aka 37 vs 47)

Bringing a flash of colour to a rather grim news timeline… creamy beetroot risotto which I made for dinner last night and had the remaining half for lunch today…

#NorthernPride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ - great turnout in parade despite the threat of downpours (though I did come prepared!) ☔️ ⚡️

Back at the wonderful #Wimbledon 🎾 🍓 for a day on Court 3. Flying solo this year for first time which feels quite odd (as could just get a single ticket) but am sure will enjoy and weather is amazing - will reach 28C and fully sunny ☀️ (sun cream has been brought).

Matt Osbourn@poshgeordie· Jun 15

First outing for the new Le Creuset shallow casserole (“iron” wedding anniversary present from mum) - green mac ‘n’ cheese (recent Waitrose recipe). Was yummy!

An Easter edition of #SpanielSunday - took Molly to Gosforth Park woods where she had a whale of a time (and we saw a deer 🦌!) Filmed this during a brief pause in the energetic spanielling

Matt Osbourn@poshgeordie· Apr 17

So this is the official “face of a man who has lost 40kg” post - despite a weekend of Eurovision partying I’ve lost that half kilo over the week…. Next stop is 50kg lost but that will take longer - maybe by September for that!

Matt looking into camera, background of bushes/trees while wearing a dark green hoodie

Matt Osbourn@poshgeordie· Apr 11

No, it’s not (yet) the 40kg lost selfie - still 0.75kg to go there, just a pre @eurofestuk.bsky.social / London #Eurovision Party weekend haircut 💇‍♂️#LEP25

Head and shoulders picture of me, wit hair newly cut short, wearing white t-shirt, with illustrations of dogs visible on t-shirt

World news is relentlessly awful so have this #SpanielSunday photo of me and Molly as a timeline cleanser…

A sad but fond farewell to Zoe earlier today - she arrived at my parents as a rescue cat and spent the next 16 years with us. She was healthy right until the end of her long life, leaving us at 18-20 years of age (exact age unknown, but 18 and over for definite) Bye bye Zoe, sleep well x 🌈 🐈‍⬛ ❤️

Face of a man who has now lost 30kg since early October! (You might have to wait a little longer for the next in series - 40kg loss - as naturally it is taking longer the more I lose!)
