Starmer's Labour government need to show some purpose and clarity of message fast. The positive policies are just not cutting through with the public and being overshadowed by the welfare cuts and winter fuel. I'm a very frustrated Labour member...

Andy Burnham has made his leadership pitch
The Manchester mayor’s “popular left programme” is an unashamed challenge to Keir Starmer.

#NowPlaying These New Puritans - Crooked Wing. This new LP is a masterpiece. No mean feat for a band with such an outstanding back catalogue. There are similarities here to The Blue Nile which is a joy. I would love to see them do more with Caroline Polachek. #musicsky #vinyl

I've just finished reading Maybe I'm Amazed by @johnharris1969.bsky.social. It's a wonderful book & a joy to read about an amazing family. I have the pleasure to work with neurodiverse university students daily so this book resonates.
Now, time to stick on Autobahn and think of Bluedot 2019...

Woking 2-2 Eastleigh. An enjoyable away day with a couple of great goals from both sides. Very competitive for two sides with nothing to play for. I so hope Eastleigh can keep hold of Shade next season 🤞🔵 #nationalleague #football #nonleague
