The content you have all been waiting for...

@reading_buses, please have a word with your driver on the 16:20 number 15 today. He refused entry at stop FE, despite being stuck at the stop because of traffic. I knocked the door and he waved me away and sat there for at least 10-15 seconds. Not a good representative for you

@DanielLoitz Perfectly said Daniel, change can only be made by a collective. There will always be people who do more, people who have more influence, people who have more knowledge but as a fan base our true power shines when we stand together.

BBC News tracking gritters with names like ‘Gritty Gritty Bang Bang’. What a country. #StormBert

@TheLastLeg @JonniePeacock @TheLastLeg #JonnieBeGood after working at 2012, and seeing your success there it’s been a pleasure watching how you’ve celebrated success and managed disappointment. An inspiration to all, not just during the Paralympics

@JmlJourno My cruise ship was docked right by the start of this flotilla at the coast on its way to Bilbao. Was awesome to see and I’m impressed with their community links having read up on their history today!

@MollyYeoman @ReadingFC Well done Molly for reporting and highlighting this. football has no place for this behaviour. #Allyship #FootballForAll

@SC_Leasing @ReadingFC Some of this would suit you @TW18712301

@ElmParkRoyals Part of me is happy we had chance to protest and reach a wider audience with Eastleigh deserving the win and their place in the 3rd round.

However the other part of me thinks this is a wasted opportunity with today’s winners making £67k and the 3rd round winners receiving £105.

Absolutely love this idea! What an insightful way to showcase misogyny.

I have a confession !

Last season @Heineken asked me and @jillscottjs8 to swap Twitter accounts as part of a social experiment to see if men and women are treated differently online . What happened was unfortunately predictable ! An important reminder that gender bias should have no place in our game . #fresherfootball #Ad

@mrblthomas I’ve got the perfect shape to really make that ‘turtle-shell’ pop!

Like a lot of people are saying, this is my favourite of the three this season & certainly has the potential to become an iconic shirt we’ll all remember in the future.

Great to see this updated. Also keeps the LGBTQ+ conversation going all year round and not just during PRIDE month. #Pride2023 #LGBTQ #Ally

[Reading Borough Council @ReadingCouncil]

We've repainted Reading’s iconic rainbow crossing in Friar Street to help mark Pride month celebrations in the town. The newly repainted crossing, featuring the Progress Pride flag colours for the first time, can be seen from today onwards. https://t.co/QMYySMwkcI

@AndyRFCCharman @mrblthomas Isn’t that the truth! I have fond memories of supervising the team and feeling connected to the players on the pitch, it provided so much entertainment for the fans.

Reading failed the business plan for:

1. Relying including profit from a proposed sale of an investment to an entity controlled by the owner - this sale was not completed in time

2. Not generating profit required from player sales in line with the plan
