Alright, all. Have sold a few of these over recent weeks, must have been a vibe-shift. Anyway, just letting you know they are still for sale, still a decent Christmas present option for yer Da and still donating all proceeds to @lutonfoodbank.bsky.social. 🧡

Do I like hearing Luton’s new manager talking about watching Matty Spring running around at Kenilworth as a kid?

Yes. Yes I do.

Having a lovely time @dkbooks.bsky.social
voicing one half of ‘One hundred moments of us’ by Jon Rance.

A very touching love story. Working opposite the very talented Amy Noble.

Tommy Robinson: 'I challenge any journalist to come to Luton and find Muslims with non Muslims.'

I'm a journalist from Luton and this man is talking utter nonsense. A pleasure to work on this film, chatting to incredible people in my hometown and separating fact from fiction.

‘These are the shitty, smouldering football fires that forged us…’

The latest from Luton Towns poet laureate @kevinscrowe.bsky.social

Arguably his best. A complete departure. A level of rancour & doggedness I never wanted but feel all the same.
Rough brilliance.
What’s next? Dreading it.
