11 years sober today. In my life, I've done some cool things, met some amazing people, worked on some important and interesting projects. The best thing I ever did was get and stay sober. One day at a time.

Crazy to see Labour voters saying @Keir_Starmer is doing a bad job because a famous Tory Voter @JeremyClarkson is now saying he'd vote for Starmer. How do you plan on winning elections after our worst election result since 1935 without converting voters from other parties?.

No sympathy for Mat Hancock. But I have full sympathy for his wife and kids, who have to deal with the emotions involved in this and the publicity that goes with it. As a son of a prominent party political figure, I know what that was like as a child. They deserve their privacy.

Last night, I met a homeless guy called John who moved to London last year for a job he lost in May. He is sober and tries to raise £17 to stay in a shelter each day. What happens to him and 1000s of others now? If we are protecting the vulnerable, the homeless should be included.

When drinking:.- I slept nights on the streets.- spent nights in police cells.- couldn’t be trusted by even my best mate. Now sober:.- I’ve done talks in prisons.- set up a homeless charity.- was best man at his wedding and am godfather to his son. I know which life is better. .

Let's be honest, if you want to play for Torino over OM, you want a comfortable life, less pressure and to stay in your comfort zone. No other reason. So not worth it anyway. Move on Pablo. Find some players with the courage and balls to enter the cauldron. .
Torino are now confident to hijack the deal for Ivan Ilić — Olympique Marseille had full agreement on club and player side but Ilić could change his mind 🚨🇷🇸 #transfers #OM. Torino would sign Ilić immediately and not in July as OM agreed with Verona.

I’m sorry but @BorisJohnson is so bad at PMQs. He has no grasp of detail, research or grip. The odd funny remark is all we get. It’s pathetic. Starmer has killed him with the forensic approach in this format once again.

You have to understand the mythical and magical passion that is OM to understand why. It is more than a club, it is a passion that sits within the heart of anyone infected by it. Every kid or adult that gets taken in by OM dreams of wearing that jersey. There are few clubs in the.
Along with a huge financial package, Ndiaye was also offered the #10 shirt. The club did everything they could to keep him, with Prince Abdullah even inviting him to stay in his LA home to talk face to face. Those talks didn't happen. [@sheffunitedway]. #twitterblades #sufc

I woke up emotional early this morning as I turn 8 years sober today. Undoubtedly the most crazy sober year so far. There will be many people out there depending on alcohol/drugs to cope during this time. But It doesn’t have to be that way. One day at a time. Never give up.

Prediction - before the start of Ligue 1, L’Equipe will put out a story about how Marcelino is struggling to gain the trust of certain players. The aim will be to unsettle OM and the fans. Every season, it’s the same. Negative fake stories to unsettle. Don’t fall for it.

B Johnson is keen to keep Cummings because:. 1) Cummings runs the Gov and Boris’ operation crumbles without him.2) He knows where the dodgy money from Russia came from and they are scared he will tell .3) Cummings is not a traditional Tory. He can’t be trusted once he’s gone.

Ndiaye never told Sheff Utd that he wants to stay. The issue was always the negotiation on the £ between the clubs. I've always maintained that I am confident that will be overcome, especially now Sheff Utd have signed a replacement striker. .

Any OM fans coming from Marseille on Wednesday, Tottenham have a ridiculous rucksack policy for away fans. Unless they adapt the rule for European games, the rule is any fans entering the stadium have to leave bags at a storage centre and pay £10 to leave it there. Worth noting.
