@tchesshyre I’ve just finished reading this, and loved it. The story of a walk, but so much more - it’s the story of a landscape, a history, and its people, and the book captures perfectly the character of the area. Often humorous, always immensely readable and enjoyable.

@IsabelOakeshott @MatthewStadlen No. Why don’t YOU take a look at what he said. The hatred and division is all in your mind.

@KemiBadenoch Seriously? But you’re the one who’s advocating that we should have Trump tickling our tummy.

One hopes that ‘planned’ means it’s not too late to correct the unfortunate misspelling of ‘confectionery’… https://t.co/gRC5Tc5r43

@GuillermElodie Yes, beyond question.

@TiceRichard Late to a war? This from Trump is way off the irony-ometer scale. But, hey Dick, you just go on rooting for your favourite orange war criminal, eh?

@williamnhutton So Labour voters voted tactically… that doesn’t seem an unambiguous disaster for Labour if their constituency is still there. It certainly seems a victory for progressives… and (while the media doesn’t seem to have clocked this) a defeat for the hard right.

[Geraint Johnes @geraintjohnes]

I’m bemused by media coverage of the by-election this morning. (Hello, @BBC.) The electorate did the smart thing & voted tactically to keep Reform out. Yet the coverage is all about how disastrous the result is for one of the progressive parties whose voters did the smart thing.

@pcfc1906 I swear the last words he said to me in that corner before he kicked it were: ‘With this wind this could go straight in!’

@pcfc1906 Direct from corner!
