Just had a lovely email off Jason

to say that by the end of today they’ll have distributed 200 food parcels to children in Burnley and Padiham. Each pack feeds one child for a week (breakfast and lunch) 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

that ‘the right to free speech underpins our whole democratic system’ so imagine my surprise at still being blocked by him.
Guess the right to free speech doesn’t include calling out lies and hypocrisy... 🤷♂️
Here you go... 'children have been going hungry for years', that's the reason for not backing

If you have a Tory MP in your constituency write to him or her and ask if that's the party line they're supporting.

I always thought that should be the case - if Sunday is genuinely the only time Johnson can do (which seems to be the excuse) then get Neil to present the Marr show on Sunday.
I am fully aware that whatever credibility I have when it comes to musical tastes will be blown to pieces. But the new Harry Styles album is a brilliant, brilliant pop record.
Burnley MP
@antony_hig
failed to mentioned in his weekly update to Facebook how he voted in the Health and Care Levy debate on Tuesday… so I’ve helped him out.
Presume it was an oversight rather than a deliberate ploy…
Remember folks on
#LancashireDay
that
#Lancashire
isn't just the area now controlled by
@LancashireCC
... That's the admin area but not 'Real' Lancashire. Celebrate with pride people!
Just how good was this ball from Muric yesterday? Had two PNE defenders at sixes and sevens with Barnes applying the pressure and that opens the chance for Tella who finishes majestically through the keepers legs! 😍😍😍
ALK takeover of Burnley complete. Wow. A new era for the Clarets.
Heartfelt thanks to Mike Garlick and the current regime for steering the good ship Burnley for so long 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Raising a beer for
@IdleandWild
who is leaving his role as Media Manager at Turf Moor today after 15 years.
I'm biased because he's a good mate who I've known for longer than either of us care to remember but he's going to be a massive loss to the club.
Real end of an era...
Think Phil Bardsley has been a great servant to
@BurnleyOfficial
. Think his influence off the pitch - especially in the last few weeks - has been clear to see.
Rarely, if ever, has he let us down. Wish him all the best with whatever comes next! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Asos buys the brands and stocks but not the High Street shops. This, coupled with a similar deal by BooHoo to buy Debenhams brand and website, means thousands of High Street jobs at risk/gone.
Remember when
@LowerhouseCC
got a bigger attendance for it's Bonfire than
@Rovers
did for a game on the same night?
More people watched a pile of wood go up in flames than Rovers... Just take that in for a moment 😂😂😂
Watched the Weghorst chance back. Mings does ridiculously well to get the block in.
Was a tad harsh saying Wout should have scored last night. It's a world class piece of defending.
Looks like there's around 13,000 Arcadia jobs (across those brands plus those not sold such as Dorothy Ps, Burton etc) and 12,000 jobs gone from Debenhams.
That's a hell of a lot of people starting the year with a search for work.😢
Rishi Sunak not only the most socialist chancellor in history but most probably the next Prime Minister of this country. Don't like giving a Tory credit but he's an incredibly good performer, growing with each appearance.
I’m absolutely delighted that Harry and Meghan joined Wills and Kate for a walkabout in Windsor.
Harry has lost his beloved grandma for gods sake.
This isn’t about rifts and any of that bullshit. It’s about love, life and loss.
📰Paper talk on Kompany's signings as Burnley manager:
🏴 Taylor Harwood-Bellis (def) from Man City (loan)
🇮🇪 Josh Cullen (mid) from Anderlecht
🇧🇪 Mandela Keita (mid) from OH Leuven
🇸🇳 Makhtar Gueye (fwd) from KV Oostende
All rumours obviously but would that = a good start?
Feels weird having a Burnley fan as head of state.
Referees take note - no more bad decisions or you’re going straight to the Tower of London!
#KingCharles
People of Burnley - our MP
@antony_hig
is immortalised on the front paper of
@DailyMirror
as one of more than 300 Tory MPs who voted against extending free school meals to the poorest kids in the unprecedented times. Just remember than next time you had to the polls!
Wow. Wow. Wow. What a finish.
Ref was absolutely abysmal… but at least he had the balls to award 10 mins injury time.
Another side who’s come to the Turf to waste time and paid the price.

I’ve never been one to be overly critical because I don’t believe the answer to any problem is to throw money at it. But the state the board has left us in after this window is absolutely unacceptable. Negligent from the supposed custodians of this great football club.
Hey
@StevenDefour
any chance you can give SD a call and see if he fancies giving you a squad number? Happy to help you get Dyche-fit with bike rides over to Todmorden and back! 😂
🧵Some thoughts on last night...
🇿🇦 Thought we started to see what Lyle Foster was about last night. His link place and movement out wide was good. Caught offside a couple of times but you could see that he's starting to find the rhythm needed in this Burnley side.
Kicked off on the row behind us in JHU today. Away fans in the home end. Disgraceful scenes with kids screaming and crying, stewards ineffective. Shameful. Been away fans there on a number of occasions.
Not good enough at all
@AlanPaceBFC
@Russdball
Brownhill just comes across as a really decent lad. Doesn't need to use his social platform to highlight local businesses but chooses to do so.
It's brilliant to see and it's more evidence in players buying into the fabric of
@BurnleyOfficial
.
Thoroughly enjoyed chatting with
@BurnleyOfficial
midfielder
@Brownhill10
about his social media
#supportlocal
campaign, which has seen him showcasing some of the Burnley businesses he regularly uses.
Here's my deadline day predictions:
🇳🇱 Weghorst signs
🇭🇷 We get Orsic or Lovric
🏴 Ramsey ends up at Palace or Newcastle
🇫🇷 We pull a French Ligue 1 surprise out of the bag
Too optimistic?
Dear
@OwenJones84
, might be worth checking out something called the NCTJ Diploma in Multimedia Journalism, it's been around for quite a while and 80%+ of all people working in the industry have it. Happy to discuss what we do
@NewsAssociates
if you're interested.
How about a new entrance exam introduced for Britain's national media? If you don't know the difference between anecdote and data, you are barred from working as a journalist. It would certainly rid my timeline of very tedious people and improve the quality of the media.
Hey
@antony_hig
you might want to have a word with
@SarBritcliffeMP
- she appears to have copied and pasted your vision for Burnley into her vision for Hyndburn and Haslingden(and left Burnley in!)... unless of course they’re all just copied and pasted from Tory HQ crib sheets?
Super proud that my gran is going to be one of the first in Burnley to get the Covid-19 vaccine today. She seemed pretty non-plussed about it when I spoke to her on Sunday but that's just their way isn't it?
Struggling to keep up with the Clarets transfer links!
🇮🇪 Obafemi deal close?
🇿🇦 Kompany and co in 🇧🇪 last night to watch striker Lyle Foster
🇿🇼 Clarets keen on Reims midfielder Marshall Munetsi
🇧🇦 Amur Hadziahmetovic has apparently abandoned his house and is ready to move…
Wish Nick Pope all the best, we'd have been down long before we were had it not been for him. Eyebrows raised when we signed him from Charlton but absolutely proved his worth over the year.
A top, top goalkeeper. Newcastle a lucky side to have him!
This is absolute madness - all the team arriving, training on the pitch the night before game. So used to seeing the likes of United, Arsenal, City, Chelsea going though all this but this is us. This is Burnley. Still not sunk in!
"I don't want to be disrespectful but you know what you're going to get against Burnley" 😳
Patrick Bamford says James Tarkowski tried a jiu-jitsu move on him in Leeds' draw with Burnley 🥋
Obviously delighted with the result last night but how bad was Paul Tierney? Bottled two second bookings for the Aarons foul on Jay and Hanley for the handball. Rank bad.
Tweet I'm hoping to see:

'Business is done... and we're told to stand down'.
Why does every Deadline Day have to be like this? 🤣
It was interesting seeing Burnley MP
@antony_hig
on GBNews yesterday talking about how Burnley had been neglected and forgotten about. The Tories have been in power for 12 years and have ripped millions out of the hands of the local authority. Yet it’s still Labour’s fault 🤡
I absolutely love how
@JJWatt
and
@KealiaOhai
have thrown themselves into the local community and culture. There's no need for them to turn up at
@theroyaldyche
on a BH Sunday but they want to do so. The way JJ has been talking about the club and town is very impressive👊
#UTC
So many positives from today’s game for me:
🛑 Beyer looks class at centre half
⚽️ Zaroury looks a handful and someone really exciting
↔️ Cork and Cullen in midfield looked great again
✋ Muric again impressed for me
That’s for
@bodenknights
surely? Started his career at the Burnley Express by watching the Clarets notch five and now he’s ended it in the same fashion!
I’m genuinely struggle to pick a man of the match from today’s game - Zaroury was sensational, Tella caused them all sorts of problem, Vitinho was brilliant and Jay was unplayable at times. But for me it was Jack Cork. What a player he is. Just knits everything together.
🚨 EXCL. Lyle Foster now close to be loaned with a mandatory option to Ipswich Town !
💰 Obligation to buy fixed at £25M.
🗣️ Not a done deal yet but clubs are currently in advanced talks in order to find an agreement.

Switched my thinking over the last day or so on the next Burnley manager...
✅Solid start of managerial career in Belgium
✅Good contacts/knowledge (Man City academy talent/Belgian leagues)
✅Winners mentality
❌No Premier League managerial experience.
A risk?...
#AnnounceKompany
I'm really not having a go at Dyche's stance on social media etc but how brilliant is it to see the lads taking to Instagram/Twitter en masse to celebrate the success of the team and each other?
I know it's a modern phenomenon but I bloody love it!
Burnley MP
@antony_hig
is just like the rest - he’ll never learn.
Been absolutely embarrassing to see all these Tory MPs shed more dignity and self-respect to back Boris Johnson only for him to walk away to save himself.
@AndyBurnhamGM
Just an idea - and I’m no economic expert - but as you say Andy this is largely going to effect people on minimum or just above so wouldn’t it make sense to have a sliding scale? Ie. Those on minimum wage receive 100% (which will be under the Max the Govt goes up to).
Just under 12 hours until the Twitter meltdown from us Clarets when the team for Everton is announced and Cornet isn’t even on the bench because he’s not yet ‘Dyche fit’. Can sense it a mile off! 😂
Here is PART 2 of the Dorries interview with
@BethRigby
.
Here she claims again that Jeremy Hunt is part of a remainer conspiracy (along with Jesse Norman), doubles down on claims that lack of pandemic preparedness was his fault and claims "we are at war with Ukraine".
🗣 Ben Mee on links to Newcastle: “I won’t be going anywhere for now. I saw some mad links to Newcastle, Imagine going there and ruining the ten years I’ve had here - that is not the reputation I want.”
Captain. Leader. Legend.

Saddened to hear of the passing of former Burnley MP Peter Pike. Was the first MP I dealt with
@BurnleyExpress
20 years ago and then got to know when a member of
@ClaretsTrust
.
He cares deeply for the town,
@BurnleyOfficial
and
@BurnleyLabour
.
Thoughts with his daughters.
Still no acknowledgment from
@BurnleyOfficial
(or
@Russdball
and
@AlanPaceBFC
) of the trouble in the stands yesterday caused by their ticketing policy which allowed Everton fans to populate the home areas.
Lots of fans on here rightly very angry.
#twitterclarets
Getting concerned about our MP
@Antony_Hig
. Not been seen for a couple of days. Last seen launching Christmas card competition in the middle of a pandemic (yep, really!).
Please RT, free Haffners pie for safe return...
As a group of Burnley supporters we have come together, with the club’s support, to create a Video montage to ensure that the world knows those people do not represent us.
We believe in One Club for All.
