Heads up, losers! If you are the type of saddo who goes to the trouble of emailing journalists if you detect a minor typo ("it's worship, you wrote wosrhip"), here's some advice: Get their name right. Otherwise you look like an even bigger twat. BTW: It's Barkley. Not Barclay.

In @CambridgeIndy we look at latest on #Cambridge market, talk to 17-yr-old who found a landmine in a village with his metal detector & interview @d_spiegel on #Covid19 figures, vaccines & @Cambridge_Fest & we have a special report on region's economy with @CambAhead
One of the best bits of my job is that sometimes I get to interview really brilliant youngsters who are on a mission to fix the world. But then I have to stop myself from telling them that they are so fucking cool because that wouldn't be very journalistey.

We had a Covid death in the family last week. I consoled myself by drinking a lot of gin then ordered several on-sale Christmas jumpers (because everyone was still alive & happy at Xmas). I'd forgotten about this until I received my 'Your Order's On Its Way' email. I am a tit.

I've been active in politics for 70 years, I've seen politicians I admire, politicians I despise, drunks, adulterers, saints and bores, but I've never seen a group who've actively pursued a course that is utterly at odds with the wellbeing of the nation - until now #BrexitReality

“Cat. If you do the ironing, I’ll sort the washing up.” “Cat. If you change Rory’s nappy, I’ll sort the washing up.” “Cat. If you hoover, I’ll sort the washing up.” “Cat. If you do the litter tray, I’ll sort the washing up.” “Cat. You need to do the washing up.” 🙃

It’s cool. He did it.
The weirdest part of any Christmas song is when Paul McCartney goes ‘The choir of children sing their song, they practised ALL YEAR long’ and then it turns out it’s just them saying ‘ding dong’ a few times

An MP has just declined an interview this evening as he is 'meeting friends for dinner, and it would be rude to step away from the table' 🧐
