Write short soft sincere daily texts to faraway beloved relatives, small warm greetings carry quiet hidden care and brighten every busy tired ordinary day of their whole lives
I keep hearing stories about primary age children in English schools, 'hating writing'. Why? I know why: because primary school writing has become a matter of jumping through hoops which require you to lever in so-called grammatical features in order to reach the 'expected level'
.@PaulHeatonSolo is a very humble man but the story of the rise of ‘The Housemartins’ and ‘The Beautiful South’ is truly significant to our city. I am proud that my home town is associated with them and them with us. Thanks for banging the ULL drum since 1983. #Weoweyou #HullLegend
@StagecoachEMid sadly, most of the drivers I encounter are miserable and often rude. However, these two are a credit to your company! Friendly, pleasant and helpful - this makes a difference to your journey.
Tune into @BBCTwo this Saturday night to watch a whole evening of programming dedicated to Paul's career featuring a collection of performances & best BBC moments, last year’s Bramall Lane concert, 'The Housemartins in London 0 Hull 4' documentary first broadcast in 1987 & more!
@LukeTheNuke180@TargetDarts@MurWalls If you ever want to donate to schools at the other side of the Pennines my school in Hull (a rugby league town too) would happily accept. On the back of you being such a star and inspiration our students have a darts club with tournaments. Good luck for the rest of the year.
The landmark Hillsborough Law legislation has now been passed by MPs in the House of Commons.
We would like to reaffirm our enormous admiration, respect and appreciation for all those who have campaigned for the introduction of the Hillsborough Law. The 97, their families and survivors are forever in our thoughts.

Today, as every day, we remember Diogo Jota and André Silva, who tragically passed away one year ago.
Through immeasurable loss and incalculable pain, the impact they made and the legacies they left behind - not only within the footballing world, but in the hearts and minds of so many around the world - has shone through over the last 12 months.
All of our love, support, thoughts and prayers continue to be with Diogo and André's families, friends and all those whose lives were touched by them.
Forever in our hearts, forever our number 20 ❤️
10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.
At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk
