Settled in at Kingsholm. Last game of season Glaws vs Newcastle. Come on cherry and whites let's finish with a good win and qualification for Europe. ππππ
@CouncillorTudor Great article & picture in Guardian Business pages today. Brilliant example of Labour local government working with central government to invest in the future of local communities. Well done Tudot and team.
Pity we couldn't secure the win, some dodgy decisions didn't help. But @gloucesterrugby played really well and to come away with 2 points at Saints is a great result. Well done.
So sad to learn of death of Scott Hastings at just 61, taken far too early. Fantastic player for Scotland and British Lions. He leaves behind many happy memories. Condolences to the family. RIP
@AlanOlive1 What is important in this debate is what the public are telling us. Unfortunately and however unfair he is viscerally hated on the doorstep and we will not win an election with Keir as Leader. Those are the brutal facts.
Great win for @gloucesterrugby tonight against Sale Sharks. Clearly the better side and frankly should have been easier win but at last things looking up. Well played cherry and whites. πππ
Just listened to @TodayR455639 programme interview with Farage. More of a cosy chat than the usual grilling of politicians. Very disappointed Farage needs to be placed under much greater scrutiny by mainstream media.
Lots of nail biting moments at end but great result for @gloucesterrugby. Dug in hard when they had to and scored some superb tries. Well played cherry and whites.
Just settled in at Kingsholm. Glaws vs Exeter lovely day for it. Let's hope we turn up today and at least make a fight of it. About time we had a really good performance. Good luck Cherry and Whites.
Sir David Attenborough is a national hero ππ To celebrate his 100th birthday and all heβs done to inspire us to protect our planet, he should be honored with a permanent statue. Agree? Join me by signing @JohannaBaxter MPβs petition: https://t.co/noYCbbGa2N via @38degrees
Whether or not you support the Assisted Dying Bill it is a disgrace that a small number of unelected peers should stymie the wishes of the elected House of Commons. It is high time this anachronistic institution was abolished.
Delighted to wske up to learn that Viktor Orban has been defeated in the Hungarian election. In a depressingly dangerous and volatile word this at least a good sign. Hopefully the world is finally waking up to the dangers of right wing populist autocrats.
Fantastic away win for Glaws at Harlequins today. Admittedly lot of Quins players missing but still a hard place to go. Well played cherry and whites.πππ
We certainly don't need lectures from Tony Blair about joining America in illegal foreign wars. A period of silence from him would be appreciated. Let's hope Keir continues to exercise caution.
Many congratulations to Gloucester's Seb Atkinson on his debut call up to England side. Thoroughly deserved based on his performances this season, hope all goes well.
Very sorry to hear of the death of Jesse Jackson. A great man. Stalwart of the civil rights movement in America and an inspirational advocate on the world stage. One of my political heroes. RIP.
No matter what you think of Keir Starmer he has brilliant on the international stage & been a real leader for the West. Do you honestly trust Farage, Davey or Polanski to deal with Trump, Xi Jinping or Putin? I don't & would be extremely worried if we had to rely on them.
We definitely don't need lectures from billionaire exiled tax payers domiciled in Monaco. Also someone who has received millions of tax payers money to subsidise his failing businesses. Perhaps he should sack all the foreign immigrant players at Man U. Absolute disgrace of a man.
