The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Brexit has been catastrophic. It's time to rejoin the EU.

Didn't get Glastonbury tickets on Sunday, but will try again at the re-sale. In the meantime, here's a few pix from 2025.

Amazing game of rugby at Sandy Park, England 26 Canada 26! Sold out, obviously, the South West always shows up.

Saint Etienne at Bristol Beacon last night, on their final UK tour. What a beautiful gig, at a lovely venue. And they played Mario's Cafe. One of my favourite concerts ever 😍

Living beside the sea all my life, and reporting on numerous incidents at sea where RNLI crews have risked their lives to save others, they'll always have my support.

Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea. Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us.

On this day 30 years ago, 15 June 1996... I was at Wembley with my dad to watch England beat Scotland 2-0. Seaman's penalty save, Gazza's wonder goal. I interviewed Gazza a few years later and he signed my match ticket from that game. Memories 😍

Lovely evening for England Women v India at Taunton tonight, and a great run chase by England 😀

Exclusive inside Monday's @sport.theguardian.com: Plymouth have told the vast majority of their women's squad their contracts won't be renewed this summer, via a letter - seen by the Guardian - which players have described as impersonal. More info. here. #FAWNL www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Unbelievable achievement by Torquay United women, going unbeaten all season to win promotion as Champions of South West Regional Women’s Football League Premier Division. They'll be in the FA WNL next season 😀

Listening to the birdies with a nice rosé from Corsica. Trying to pretend Torquay didn't just lose the play off final in extra time after being 2-1 up in injury time in normal time.

The sun came out eventually at Taunton today, another good day for Somerset, well on top against Yorkshire. Six wickets for Lewis Gregory and 136 not out for Josh Thomas, his maiden first class hundred 😀

Lovely day for it, England v Wales, Women's Six Nations rugby at Bristol #RedRoses 🌹

Went to see Punch at Theatre Royal Plymouth tonight and blimey, it's the best thing I've seen at the theatre in a very long time. What a story. And the performances were unbelievable. Fully deserving of the standing ovation at the end.

Huge win for the Lionesses against Spain at Wembley last night, another step towards next year's Women's World Cup 🤞 🦁 🦁 🦁

Chelsea women the deserved winners of the Subway League Cup final against Manchester United at Ashton Gate in Bristol this afternoon. Lauren James was the best player on the pitch by some distance.

Brilliant story - Barcelona fan travels to Exeter City's St James Park instead of Newcastle 🤣 "Fan attends wrong St James' Park football stadium 366 miles away" - BBC News share.google/iFNAO1wVVb2a...

Missed the Lionesses in Nottingham this weekend because of a friend's wedding do. Stayed up in London to see the Abba Voyage show. It's like nothing you'll see anywhere else. Here's a pic of the auditorium before the show, and a view towards Orbit in Olympic Park. I love #London
