Special day for many Blues today, as the men play their final game at Goodison Park. I made my final pilgrimage with my earlier in the season, glad I can now look forward to watching the women 💙

I’ve long said that better parental leave for dads/partners is crucial if we’re going to tackle maternity discrimination, the gender pay gap and - I believe - violence against women and girls. So good luck to the Dad Shift and the #DadStrike. Sign up!

Always makes me smile that when you arrive at one of the most architecturally beautiful cities in the country the first thing you see is a building so ugly they had to cover it with a giant sweet wrapper
