@barneyronay.bsky.social no @theguardian.com cricket coverage of the women’s one day championship starting today? Boo🙁

@lewisgoodall.com thank you for the report from Scunthorpe. I was born and bred there, Dad was a steelworker. I did my first work experience on the furnaces. I’m in tears listening. Thank you for listening and reporting #SaveOurSteel

I've been moonlighting as a gamekeeper.

Happy St.Cuthbert’s Day everyone. The northern saint died on Inner Farne, Farne Islands on this day in 687. During his life it was believed that he offered protection to nesting Eider ducks on the islands, the first protection they’d received.

My goodness my daughter (11) absolutely smashed it bowling pace at adult men and women and older boys tonight. The extra competition made her better. Now she’s knackered and sore. Advice, #cricket please @wgrumblepants.bsky.social

St Cake’s would like to extend our warm congratulations to India on winning the maths, English, French, science and woodwork prizes. The awards ceremony will take place in the Kohli Hall, kindly funded by India, at a time that will be confirmed at their convenience #IndvNZ #NZvInd #CT25 #CTFINALS25

I came across a lady in a public loo this week who was an absolute mess. Covid killed all her close family. She was alone and angry and sad. It was a public health disaster that will last a generation www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Should’ve boycotted that and at least taken a moral victory. Shocking

Have some sunshine in your day.

It stuns me that anyone listens to a word Hannan says he’s been so stupendously, fundamentally wrong about everything

@eddiecrouch.bsky.social hi Eddie 👋🏻

Hey I know what would be cool. Buy a second home in a rural village you furnish and fill with expensive shit. Never go. Make sure your shitty alarm is always on. Don’t bother to upgrade it to the sort that can handle frequent power cuts. That would be ace.

I mean I’m no fan of the International #cricket council but this seems harsh

"Obviously you will not actually own a physical Liam Dawson. The real Liam Dawson will decay at regular intervals and need to be replaced. What you are paying for is the idea of Liam Dawson." www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

If what Jon Lewis is writing in his notebook isn't a resignation letter, it's not worth much. 🏏

If Knight goes and Lewis keeps his job it’s a travesty www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...

Left: Zia Yusuf, "We need a total bonfire of all of the red tape that stops the UK from building.. That's what Reform will do" Right: Grenfell Tower on fire as builders ignored 'red tape' safety regulations to cut costs, make profits #BBCQT

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

I’m rewatching #Outlander and the most true to life bit is that it’s always a wee bit damp in the highlands

I deblocked all my sinks with baking powder and vinegar yesterday. It was a science based tiny act of making a tiny difference and making myself feel a bit better. Recommend.
