Sometimes it's hard to tell if my father in-law thinks of me as a person, or simply as a garbage can for the family's Christmas leftovers.

Everyone has their least favourite red wall Tory. For many it's Gullis or Anderson, but for me it has always been Benton, so I am currently doing a little dance.

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

NEW: 35 day suspension for Scott Benton after lobbying scandal. By-election probable in Blackpool South.

An almost certain Labour gain. Reform would have to do well to show they can actually start chalking up some serious votes, not just decent polling intentions.

@ZouSiqing To basically treat it as a productive conversation on how to improve the work, rather than like a test! You can't really prep (nobody knows the project better than you), but I think it helps not to think about it as a 'defense', but more like open peer review.

This is one of the grimmest things I've seen, as are the various awful takes excusing his decision to go.

I've put together some auditory stimuli for a new MGT-style experiment for my police project. Looking for a few experienced linguists (and phoneticians) who could spare a minute to listen and tell me what they think? Just for naturalness etc

Dr Matthew Hunt, Dr Louis Strange and Dr Sophie Holmes-Elliott, presenting ‘Off-Pitch? Linguistic Discrimination and Perceptions of Female Football Commentators’ at #UKLVC14

[@mchlinguistics.bsky.social @MCHLinguistics]

@JRKASSTAN @gwalkden They did just decide to sack Martin Tyler off Sky, so maybe there's an opening?

[@mchlinguistics.bsky.social @MCHLinguistics]

If, like me, you missed our talk at UKLVC in Edinburgh, the lovely @gwalkden has summarised it here. Upshot: claims about women's voices being too high for football commentary might (shock horror) not actually have much to do with pitch.

[George Wⓐlkden @gwalkden]

Okay! I’m back in time for the next talk, by Matthew Hunt, Louis Strange and Sophie Holmes-Elliott: “Off-Pitch? Linguistic Discrimination and Perceptions of Female Football Commentators”. #UKLVC14
