I must confess to being a bit emotional this morning at the news of a knighthood for Kevin Sinfield.
I’ve always called him ‘Sir Kev’ and it’s hard to think of a man more deserving. He showed us all what it is to be a friend. What it means to step up when people need you and he did it all for his mate ❤️
After he carried Rob across the line in the Leeds marathon someone sent me this poem anonymously and I kept it on my phone. They called it ‘Arise Sir Kev’…
When shadows gathered, and hearts would break
Kev knew it was time to take…
One step, another, through wind and rain,
Carrying hope, despite the pain.
He never stopped, mile after mile,
Driven by loyalty, strength… a smile.
For Rob, his friend, he aim was true
Showing us all, what friendship can do.
Not measured in trophies, applause, or fame…
But turning up, again and again.
And in every mile he chose to run,
He showed us how friendship is truly done.
Watch MND Association patron, Kevin Sinfield’s first interview since being awarded a knighthood in the King’s Birthday Honours.
He spoke with @sallynugent and @BBCBreakfast about what the honour means, and how Rob Burrow is still his inspiration 🧡
Congratulations to our patron, Kevin Sinfield, on his well‑deserved knighthood.
Kev has been a tireless advocate for the MND community since the diagnosis of his friend, Rob Burrow CBE, in 2019 — raising £11 million for MND charities and vital awareness.
Thank you, Sir Kev 🧡

Dear Reform-voting ladies…
Do you know you’re voting for a party that wants to:
❌ Scrap the Equality Act - your legal protection against workplace discrimination & unequal pay
❌ Kill the Online Safety Act - the law protecting you from revenge porn
❌ Vote AGAINST the bill to stop workplace sexual harassment
❌ Stack the party with anti-abortion politicians - some opposing termination even in cases of rape
❌ Push “pro-family” policies that put women back in the home
I guess the question is…
Do you hate immigrants more than you love your rights?
When I see tweets like this, I know they’re too young to know about Jade Goody.
Diagnosed with cervical cancer in August 2008 and died March 2009 aged 27.
