Totally delighted to be named Regional Press Specialist Journalist of the Year for the third time today

This job is hard, exhausting and amazing but there are so many people who make it brilliant and I’m grateful to them all

Oh I understood, it was just irrelevant to my initial point that was about your lack of knowledge about the story and yet your willingness to comment. Ta ra now.

You were wrong in your initial comments about spending £1 billion to work on a road. As I have already explained the plan is much, much bigger than that. Makes sense to read an article before commenting.

I'm sure I will cope. What untruths have I posted exactly?
liamthorp.bsky.social
Yes you are wrong. The £1bn plan is a much wider and huge regeneration plan including skyscrapers, an arena and commercial space. Just shows why its important to read a piece before commenting.

Don’t think you’ve read it

I think it also encourages car usage. Most cities don’t have a big dual carriageway through the centre of them and I think it’s a factor why so many people drive into the city centre here.

Surely a shoo-in for a best supporting Oscar

Penn was unbelievably good, Dicaprio and del Toro not far behind

And delivers one of the best lines of all time

Oh and one of my favourite movie lines of all time

Yep, Pynchon and Thomas Anderson are a superb match up

Dicaprio cements himself as the greatest leading man of his generation. Unbelievable performances from Sean Penn and Benecio del Toro. Paul Thomas Anderson has created another piece of insane magic.

The best films leave you befuddled, astounded and frantically trying to process. One Battle After Another is a tour de force of a film. Both politically profound and absurdly silly. An effervescent commentary of the evils of America and a poignant take on parental relationships. Just amazing.

Farage on Gill and Pro Russian media bribes” I told him not to go. He defied me and went. I was completely unaware of any statements that he made."

Farage with pro Russian media (and wife of briber) on the day Gill made his statements in 2018
