. Just to let you know that this Stockport lass with working class roots, a state school education and impressively flat vowels is currently mixing herself a margarita and taking in some Wimbledon.
That okay with you, posh chops?
Feel a bit thick asking this, but why is Sunakβs wife so intent on making more money? Why is she not content with her many properties and her familyβs Β£billion net worth? Is she a philanthropist? Is she hooked on business deals? Or is she just greedy? Happy to be enlightened
Thanks for the alert,
@BBCBreaking
. An MP coming third in a reality show is indeed a matter of great national importance. However, I'm searching for your ping about Michelle Mone, MedPro and the missing Β£millions but can't seem to find it π€·ββοΈ Can you check your drafts?

Pick a favourite local tree and observe it through the seasons. Take comfort and solace from the cycle of nature: the buds, the leaves, the fruit, the fall. Here's my lovely hornbeam tree, earlier this week

Not again π€¦πΌββοΈ Tripped over a shopping basket in my corner shop, grabbed a sheaf of Daily Mails to steady myself and inadvertently hid them all behind a stack of Your Dog magazine
Sorry (not sorry) to any neighbours prevented from reading transphobic bile and Johnsonβs shit column
So heartening to see Boris Johnson back at his Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency surgery, working tirelessly to help a vulnerable resident through the cost of living crisis

Hi
@SkySports
. You do indeed have a fault with your sound. When
#mcfc
attack I have to turn up the volume because, for some reason, the commentary from Martin and Gary goes all faint and quiet. Can you sort? Ta luvs!
#ARSMCI
For some reason the Sunday Times front page, with the former Post Office Chairmanβs allegations against a senior civil servant and Kemi Badenoch, is missing from the BBC News press round-up
Just thought Iβd rectify this unfortunate oversight
Blues: victimising and verbally abusing our own players, especially when you @ them on Twitter, is not a good look. Would you call a colleague a useless c*nt if they had a bad day at the office? Thought not. Be classy. Be better

When you're booted out of office,

Hi there

That figures. But she baffles me. If I had a fraction of her wealth, and held the effective βfirst ladyβ status that she does, I *know* Iβd devote my time to good causes rather than chasing more dollar. Iβm no paragon of virtue but it would just seem like the human thing to do
Happy 55th birthday to

'I'm Not Really Here' β
@paul_lake
's memoir β was published exactly seven years ago today. We wrote it for ourselves (it was so cathartic for Paul) and had no idea that it would become an actual book, and that would chime with so many. Still so proud of it
As my great-great-grandad used to say, βIf you canβt say anything nice, Jo, donβt say anything at all.β
But then my great-great grandma would always pipe up βF**k that for a lark, luvβ¦never forget that banner.β

This chimes. My Aspie son was excluded from many parties during his school days (was usually the parentsβ doing). Broke my heart. Can I offer some hope, though? Heβs now 18, working, and spending far too much time in pubs with pals who accept him for who he is. Sending love π
My dad (a.k.a Eric the Blue) died exactly a year ago. City beat West Ham 5-0 that same night. This afternoon my sister, brother and I were at the Etihad to toast his memory, and witnessed another top victory. Pep, your boys are doing my old fella proud π

My husbandβs. Glittering career ruined by club penny-pinching and mismanagement. Other top players suffered same ACL injury but received correct treatment and resumed their careers. Heβs just undergone his second knee replacement, the latest of many operations. A tragedy, really

ππΌ Just to confirm that

manager Phil Foden
Ten years ago today,
@Paul_Lake
βs memoir, Iβm Not Really Here, was published. A love story to
@mancity
β and to Manchester β it also highlighted the mental and physical anguish suffered by a brilliant young footballer with a career-ending injury 1/3
A nice celeb-related story. When the late, great Eddie Large heard that
@paul_lake
was having a really bad time post-injury, back in the 1990s, he sent him some photos (from a holiday in the Lake District) to cheer him up
I unearthed the pics today during a clear-out

Sun-In for me. From mousey to blondie with a few squirts of a nozzle and a blast of a hairdryer. Never mind that your hair snapped off a fortnight later
I may be a lifelong Blue but Iβm quite fond of Sir Alex Ferguson. He was very kind to me when I worked with him in the 1990s and he also showed more compassion to

Wishing Sir Alex a very happy 80th birthday π

My other half played for

I was going to have a night off the vino after a mad old weekend, but I now find myself raising a glass to toast you, your team-mates, your manager...and this brave, brilliant tweet. Cheers, Tyroneπ₯
Hello
@SamsungUK
. Iβd like a report a fault with my TV. There seems to be something wrong with the volume. Whenever Manchester City score the commentator is barely audible, but when Copenhagen score, itβs eardrum-burstingly loud.
Can you send out an engineer?
