2:15:19 (PB by 25 seconds), at least £603 raised for The Stroke Association and an atmosphere like no other.

Oh my god - I have just done The Great North Run! 🥹

If this is remotely true, can the last person inside Molineux please turn out the lights and throw the master key in the canal… 🫣🥲

The sheer greasy desperation from these bastards that any violent crime is committed by an immigrant so they can continue their grift. Even when they know it isn't true. Foul.

Matt Goodwin attributes a crime that he now knows appears to have been committed by people born in Britain in the early 1990s to "mass uncontrolled immigration"

It simply had to happen.

Regardless, FOSUN still have HUGE questions to answer!

2025 was so very nice, 2026 will make it twice! 🏃🏽‍♂️

Here’s to the 2026 Great North Run, once again to be ran for The Stroke Association on the back of £709 being raised for 8 weeks ago. 😄

The Fundraiser will be up in the coming weeks.

Only my second visit to Wolverhampton’s other parkrun of East Park, thanks to West Park being closed ahead of the Annual Fireworks tonight and compared to my 29:25 on February 1st, a 27:35 makes me rather chipper. 👌🏽

After the extraordinary experience of supporting the 2024 Champions League Final as a Volunteer, I am totally down for a repeat in 2029 at Wembley! ⚽️

Extremely delighted The FA have bidded, alongside FA Wales bidding for 2029 Women’s Champions League Final.

Oh, look at this - the letting agents apologise for NOT applying for the rental license & say Rachel Reeves would have been under the impression the license HAD been applied for.

Can we have the apologies now from everyone who have been absolutely obnoxious today in their handling of the story?

Letting agency used by Reeves apologises, saying it's to blame for rental licence error
The lettings agency involved in Rachel Reeves’ rental arrangements said it had apologised to her for an “oversight” that led to a failure to obtain a licence.

Gareth Martin, owner of Harvey Wheeler, said:

We alert all our clients to the need for a licence. In an effort to be helpful our previous property manager offered to apply for a licence on these clients’ behalf, as shown in the correspondence. That property manager suddenly resigned on the Friday before the tenancy began on the following Monday.

Unfortunately, the lack of application was not picked up by us as we do not normally apply for licences on behalf of our clients; the onus is on them to apply. We have apologised to the owners for this oversight.

At the time the tenancy began, all the relevant certificates were in place and if the licence had been applied for, we have no doubt it would have been granted.

Our clients would have been under the impression that a licence had been applied for. Although it is not our responsibility to apply, we did offer to help with this.

We deeply regret the issue caused to our clients as they would have been under the impression that a licence had been applied for.

What a total and complete HORLICKS by Harvey and Wheeler! #RachelReeves

This is really great news, for the whole of Britain!

VT did an incredible job in transforming the West Coast Mainline between 1997-2019 and will provide strong competition through the Channel Tunnel against Eurostar, as well as opportunities to realise the dream of expanded regional routes.

Absolutely marvellous that Virgin Trains are set to return with Cross European Services from 2030, after getting access to the Temple Mills International Depot. 🚄

Even if the second half showed a lot of fight and passion, the damage was unfortunately done with a disgraceful first half.

6 defenders on the pitch to begin a game is beyond me and that’s now 9 goals conceded in 3 games.

It’s time to politely go, Vitor!

Labour's Renters Rights Act has become law!

Everyone deserves to know they have a secure home they can afford to live in!

And the changes Labour have made through this law will give that to 11 million people!

Having proudly worked at the last one, I was never not going to miss some part of #Glasgow2026! 😜

Roll on seeing some action from Day 1 and 2, plus adding Q to the Parkrun alphabet next Summer. 👀

The Commonwealths and European Athletics in the space of 3 weeks is going to be EXTREMELY EXCITING! 🥳

Kashmire DS Hawker @kdshawker.bsky.social · 7d

IT IS ON! 😍

Safe to say Sunday December 7th at about 2:50pm could be an out of body experience…

Bring on São Paulo at F1 Arcade!

There’s bad looks and bad decisions in Politics and then there is THIS…

Gavan Reilly @gavreilly.com · 8d

The Taoiseach is not coming to Dublin Castle for the official declaration of Catherine Connolly's victory in the presidential election.

Whether intended or not, it's going to look very confrontational for the head of government NOT to be there to congratulate the new head of state

Huge and warm congratulations @lucympowell.bsky.social on election as 19th Deputy Leader Labour. 🌹

Haven’t said that for a while knowing of the men’s team’s start to the campaign! 😅
