The student becomes the master! So much fun sharing #Shrovetide live commentary with my former radio journalism student @oscfisher for @StoryHubDerby and @derbyshire_live. Been told our fence-hopping catastrophes are worth a second listen alone 😂. Commentary still there.

“They pushed the car down the ally to get to the ball! I couldn’t believe it!” Shah Alam of Red Chili restaurant in #Ashbourne filmed the aftermath in amazement as players took seconds to shove a car out of the way to play on. @StoryHubDerby #Shrovetide2025

LOVED ❤️ the docco about #XFM on #Prime. I listened from my crap flat in #Luton in ‘97, 😂loved the indie DJs like @thesturge. Knew your music, turned up to pre-famous Britpop gigs and alike, broadcast live with passion and spoke to ME. You all connected. Thank you! ❤️

God.
This is the reality of what women in public service regularly face and will remain to face in our future unless we confront abusive men who feel they have a right to intimidate women. Bless that these men think they could shout Jess down ⬇️ https://t.co/D8wVdz6uR1

Hey @Radiobex, @RobBurl @Rob_Watts +others. Trying to help students. Ever been sent on a story early in your career that has defined you. An absolute mission but ultimately, the story has reaped career rewards, however small? DMs open if preferred. #journorequest #journalism RT

Meanwhile, the cover up on this side of the pond is far more dignified…
A warning for anyone standing in the background while Sunak pleads for people to vote for him - if you don't look enthusiastic about what he's saying someone on his team will get a text telling them to block you from view... https://t.co/nELrlOocPi

🧵 of the day. 👏👏 If you’re knackered by elex coverage already, here’s some excellent light - but somewhat disturbing - relief from @st_ua_rt. Sadly, I remember this televised abuse well and “Nasty” Nigel makes Simon Cowell look like Mr Tumble.
I’ve been doing a rewatch of the seminal 2001 British reality show Popstars and it really was the most unhinged reality show ever seen on British television. 🧵

Right. @Nigel_Farage saying he’d rather spend time campaigning for Donald Trump than for @reformparty_uk is a bit like Larry the cat deciding to cack in the garden instead of a shoe. 🤷♂️#GeneralElection
