Just heard your trip up the Elizabeth Tower/Big Ben @MattChorley - recalled this Blue Peter clip from back in the "good old days". Peter Duncan's contract needs checking! and that's after 300+ step walk up too.

@BlackpoolFC Under the lights, but playing like shites. C'mon lads, show us you actually care about the team and result! #utmp

Thanks Clinton, don't listen to the poo poo'ers.

[Alex Finch @dafinchi]

@Kwag46567626 @SeasidersPod Evatt isn't the problem either

[Alex Finch @dafinchi]

@bookclubpodhq Looking forward to this!

[Alex Finch @dafinchi]

@BlackpoolFC Any injuries yet? Due at least one by now, surely?

@JamesWhitey20 @BlackpoolFC @EmiratesFACup @IpswichTown Don't think it's been too bad in Ipswich, although travel from the NW could be affected. We're driving up from the SE so will keep an eye on the travel news. Early warnings would be appreciated 🥶👍

@realclintonb We'll be seeing you at Blackpool in February, but you probably knew that already #probeoursouls

@raymond_blanc bonne chance, Raymond!

@loupepper @sciencemuseum I'm sure my mate David Wilkinson at the @spacecentre could sort your son out with a proper interactive visit

@BlackpoolFC When it's this bad, this is the only way to cope.

@BlackpoolFC Do these players know each other? All over the place!

There will be people who think this is deeply unfair, but it can’t be avoided anymore. You cannot do politics like this now - going on the radio or TV and using a clever form of words to avoid saying the thing you think will end your career. It doesn’t work and it hasn’t worked for a long time.

The career-ending thing isn’t saying “I broke that promise and I’m sorry, but here’s why I really think it’s the right thing to do…” It is repeatedly saying you did it without holding up your hands; in the process treating your audience like they’re daft and eroding trust so much that nobody listens to your actual argument. Why would you get a hearing for what you believe is right if you can’t show enough respect to admit your choice broke a promise?

No parent would accept that kind of apology from a child; why do some of our politicians still think voters should accept it from them? Trust people to give you a hearing and they’ll listen even when you admit mistakes - maybe even more then, because it is human.
