We’ve been selling our soul since souls were invented 😉

'Meghan is our most hated royal.' @matthew-wright.bsky.social asks if the allegations against the Duchess' father will make the media rethink about their 'spite' towards the Sussexes.

'There will be compassion for her for a period of time - but it will probably snap back...' Newsweek's Jack Royston reckons that sympathy for Meghan will be short-lived as there is a 'committed group of people who absolutely hate her'. @matthew-wright.bsky.social

'The press has decided they can use Meghan, because she hasn't been able to defend herself.' Caller Jane compares the differing media coverage of the royal sisters-in-law. @matthew-wright.bsky.social

@gwr.com score again - we’re off! On time! 🥳🥳

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: two party politics is dead, long live two party politics! We’ll ask why the Online Safety act is failing kids? And what kind of Budget do you expect on Wednesday? 📞0345 6060973 x

The nicotine drug dealers should be ashamed of themselves by themselves

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: has Covid put people off prepping, made us resistant to government advice? Are your kids addicted to Snus - do you even know what Snus is??? And we’ll get reaction to the latest on Meghan’s dad. 📞0345 6060973

Yeah but it’s free speech innit. Racist, sexist twats (allegedly) www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

So train mysteriously terminates at Reading. Wait for another train to complete journey and arrive just 27 minutes late and only mildly moist/cold. I feel like I’m one of life’s winners today 🥳

Ok so we’re a tad late setting off and going a different route but I’m appreciative that @gwr.com is doing its level best and I’d put money on me doing my @lbc.co.uk show tomorrow morning! 🙏 ps much much colder in Somerset than Devon. Just sayin x

Dodged a few fallen trees but made it to Taunton where auspiciously my train is the only one not cancelled or delayed….yet! 🙏

I know it's puerile but I did laugh when I saw the name of the judge handling disclosure for the Trump v BBC $10bn showdown...district court judge Jeffrey T Kuntz www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Excellent service to and from Norwich thanks to @greateranglia.bsky.social Southwestern could learn a lot from you guys!

On this day from the Telegraph 4 years ago (with thanks to Francis Wheen) Truss resigned three hours later. I love the way the Telegraph blames "moderate Tories" rather than her clinically insane economic policy which - lest we forget - the Conservative press backed to the hilt

Those links I mentioned (with Amazon as a last resort) - bsky.app/profile/keir...

Can’t thank @keirgiles.bsky.social enough for this morning’s session on @lbc.co.uk Encyclopaedic knowledge imparted in the most engaging manner. Still left me paranoid tho 😏 x

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: 2 yrs we’ve waited for ministers to start a national conversation on war - what’s the hold up? More damaging revelations about Reform - can Farage survive? And Russia expert Keir Giles will take your calls on Trump, Putin, war and peace 📞 0345 6060973

Tomorrow’s @lbc.co.uk is going to be ace. Night all xx

Hats off to the awesome @ccshoreditch.bsky.social for his social media nudge this time last week. He prompted me to get flu and Covid jabs today and I’m hoping this pic of the rippling muscles on my right arm will do the same for you xx

The good Dr is on fire today....🔥😍

From 7am @lbc.co.uk: Can Andy Burnham buy off Scottish calls for independence with promise of more devolution? As Tories announce a freeze on minimum wage, how can we make work pay? And do Reform voters care if party members are racist and sexist? 📞0345 6060973 x

This is going to blow a few minds - essential listening tomorrow morning and on catch up later 👍

Been busy stripping down the Egli Vincent for frame repairs…

replacement gearbox in and all is well…

Gearbox swapsies in the sun 🌞 🥰

1949 Burman BAP gearbox refurb completed. Loads of aggro along the way but it should easily out last me now 👍

For those wondering why I have not condemned Donald Trump's decision to buy Russian deisel, it's just that I think it's a great idea because I too am a Russian stooge and a traitor.

Someone has very kindly posted a quote of mine from Notorious on Facebook... to lots of 👍 SO here it is with a reminder that the ebook is currently a very reasonable 99p on all your favourite ebook platforms.

Why not extend the right to buy to the private rented sector? (And why building more council housing will save us more) Speaking to @matthew-wright.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk this morning about the housing crisis and right to buy

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: should John Healey listen to Tory demands for his budget? Could Right to Buy be the key to solving housing crisis? And Reform wants Trump-style tariffs to control migration. Worth a try? 🤯📞0345 6060973

Celebrating 100 #Parkruns with the star herself @amytalkspodcast.bsky.social over coffee earlier x

Been really crap on here of late and so apologies for my failure to reply to so many kind messages. Usual distractions - child, motorbikes, fishing, rock n roll and back pain - have all played their part. I promise to do better in future x

'This shouldn't be made about Trump - this should be made about justice.' Caller Anthony tells @matthew-wright.bsky.social he'd 'gladly pay' to watch a livestreamed execution of the Fort Hood shooter.

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: has releasing prisoners on tag to ease jails’ crisis been a criminal failure? Should the Greens dump leader Zack Polanski? And will you watch a livestream of America executing a mass murderer? 📞 0345 6060978

He almost brushed my leg!

Thought the sewage scandal was bad? Think again. Sewage works are also a major industrial waste disposal route. Power stations, airports, hospitals, landfills: ~608bn litres last year. No independent regulator. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Out on patrol nice and early. Pleased to report no fascists spotted on the beach again. Happy days x

Jeffrey Archer, liar, jailbird, Tory and ‘nearly man’ of British politics (apparently) once took a long and very much unwanted look at my wife’s chest and followed that with a “nice rack” comment. Stick that in your obituaries x

De Niro: When that coward, that fucking piece of shit Donald Trump tries to take our voice and power away. What do we tell him? Your fucking hands off our vote
