I'm biased but this is a very, very good piece of writing. @LexyTopping's farewell letter to Goodison Park.
I wrote about football, family, memory and loss. About going to watch Everton with my dad, taking my son to Goodison for a final pilgrimage and why that place means so much to so many of us 💙>> theguardian.com/football/202…
Reading @AHunterGuardian on Moyes’ Everton feels like pure nostalgia (I was a 20-something reporter watching him work from the corner of the press room last time!)
But just like back then, it’s the good gear.

Big up to the @guardian team who laid bare the injustice of the Carer’s Allowance scandal: @patrickjbutler, @JoshHalliday & @JohnDomokos.
This story was always about righting a longstanding wrong. The newly announced review is the first step..

Thanks also to @CarersUK and all the people who have shared their stories with us.

So humbled to be nominated for Campaign of the Year for mine and @patrickjbutler’s work on the Carer’s Allowance scandal.
Main thanks to all those unpaid carers (“unsung heroes” - DWP) who found the time to speak to us.
Congratulations to all those on the shortlist.
A shortlist has today been announced for the @EditorsUK Media Freedom Awards 2024. Congratulations to all and we look forward to celebrating your achievements on Tuesday 12 November 2024

The Moshiri era has been one of the most abject examples of club stewardship in the modern game.
There are no guarantees in football, but his tenure coming to an end might be the best news Evertonians get all season.

In recent years, a woman has been killed by a man every 3 days in the UK on average, and yet most of their stories have gone unheard. The @guardian Killed Women Count project wants to help change that. Huge thanks to @CountDeadWomen for their vital work > theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-i…
