I’m heartbroken to announce my mum Pat Midgley passed away this morning.
She was the most generous woman you could ever wish to meet, loved by so many, a completely unique character.
She dedicated her life to serving her community and Sheffield. A true woman of steel.
At the Covid peak public health officials proposed locking down care homes, Government overruled them, now they’re blaming the homes for the deaths. We deserve better than this conman.

Update on my mum Cllr Pat Midgley.
She was admitted to hospital on Tuesday night and confirmed with Covid19 yesterday.
On oxygen/fluids not ventilator and slowly improving.
We’ve had an incredible amount of offers of support and help, she’s clearly a well loved woman.

Saturday at Wembley is a celebration of a great season for me. I’m not especially bothered about the result, it’s a big occasion to party and enjoy what we’ve achieved. Bring it on🙌🎺⚔️🍻

Remembering my mum Pat Midgley on the 3rd anniversary of her passing. Visited the new Covid memorial in town which is a delightful peaceful spot, and other places remembering how much she achieved in her community.
Just witnessed the vaccination process first hand with my dad at Manor Park medical centre. It’s a well oiled machine. Brilliant achievement by all involved👏👏.
I appreciate 700,000 Wednesday fans came out of the woodwork for essentially a dead rubber of a game and football will never hear the last of it, but special shout to

who once again bounce back and win promotion. Incredible achievement again by Paul Warne.
@GoodwinMJ
There’s no better example of Tories ability to reinvent themselves as this new faux status as underdog to the ‘elites’.
Rees-Mogg, Boris, Gove, Sunak are elites. Gary Lineker is a former footballer son of a market stall trader.
How deluded is it that West Ham sing “we’re champions of Europe”!? It’s like Burnley singing “we’re champions of England” because they won the Championship.

It's a white shirt with blue and red trim with the 3 lions badge large on the chest. But put a slightly different coloured cross on the back of the neck (under most players hair!) and Joey thinks the worlds coming to an end😂. And he calls others snowflakes! Get a grip.
I’ve got a feeling Ben Davis will have the sort of impact Gary Cahill had in the Bryan Robson season. With the bonus that he’s with us all season and Jorkanovic isn’t an alcoholic.

The buyback clause is fine by me! If he becomes good enough for Liverpool’s first team, we wouldn’t be able to hold on to him anyway.

Sheffield United make £17m Rhian Brewster transfer bid and agree to Liverpool's £40m buy-back clause in deal
It baffles me how HRH hasn’t had more criticism for this disaster of a season. We’re a laughing stock now in the record books. Recruiting players like Traore, Slimane, Larouci, Thomas, Trusty, Grbic. It’s all at his door

Is he saying the rationing is a government plot? Carried out by those well known state owned government machines Tesco, Aldi and Asda?
This is what happens when you eat the whelks at every coastal town in the UK.
@HarryHamishGray
Impossible to comment on this and who was at fault but speaking as a cyclist from Sheffield, I can’t fathom why he didn’t use the cycle lanes which go under the roundabout. It’s a 4 lane monster I’d never go round it on a bike.
I’d like to know how the Grbic recruitment came about. He’d played 33 games in 4 seasons! How can he have been watched? And who thought him the right man to join and go straight into the starting 11 half way through a season of a team in the world’s best league!?
#sufc
If we don’t finish 2nd, which feels possible now, the blame must be with the embargo and those who allowed it to happen.
JTW recruitment is crucial for a promotion push as we showed in 2019 &Boro are showing now. Hecky’s shuffling a tired pack, I feel for him

The 20 year old striker earns a club record move to the Blades. Here's what Blades fans can expect to see with Brewster's strengths/areas of improvement highlighted and what i feel he'll add to the Blades front line.
I’m perplexed how we’re about to play the second winnable Premier League game without a single fit senior striker. We’re sending the team to a gun fight with knives

Worth remembering the Prince bitched in his post Wilder interview about Ramsdale being his only keeper target. He’s been a brilliant signing who’s value is increasing.

Yeah, you hounded him out of parliament, you should have burned him in the street when you had chance.
After all it was constantly coming up on the doorsteps in Mansfield etc - “I would vote for Corbyn but he’s been too nice to Tom Watson at al so I’m voting Tory instead”
Add food dye to the water in the sprinklers, when fans invade the pitch turn the sprinklers on, arrest everyone leaving the ground covered in coloured water.
The interview should have been the Prince thanking CW for 6 amazing years (the last 2 of which grossed him £240M), and explaining he left because he wanted to resign. Raking over past transfers and the £4M is vindictive. Leaves CW in an impossible position.

It’s about breaking the law pal. If you had “boozy BBQs” with more than one other person from your household you were breaking the law. It’s the sort of thing which matters if you’re prime minister.

received £100M in EU grants in 90s/00s due to being in poorest 25% of continent. Due to Tory austerity we’ve dropped back into bottom 25% so would qualify for a further £100M between 2021-27 if we were staying in.

What is not safe about your school? The primary my son goes to is a much safer place to work than supermarket or delivery driver for example.
Since my mum died the amount of help and support offered to my dad (who has dementia) from friends and neighbours is incredible. People are practically queuing at the door.
It constantly brings to mind the Beatles lyric "the love you make is equal to the love you take".

You’re so wrong. They never give their own views. They’re satisfying the national need for a deeper understanding on the subject, and it’s a massive organic success- just look at its listener numbers!
Terrifying prospect of £4,000 heating bills and the only people who seem bothered are Martin Lewis and Gordon Brown. Boris is getting away with murder.
Tragic news
The latest
@CornwallInsight
prediction, based on Ofgem's new methodology, is an 81% price cap rise in Oct (taking typical bill to £3,582/yr) and a further 19% in Jan (so £4,266/yr)
Action & planning is needed now. The zombie govt needs wake up sooner than 5 Sept...
@michaeljswalker
The point is we were looking at Italy/ Spain reaching peak and ignoring their warnings to lockdown. They didn't have the benefit of advance warnings like us.
Surely this will go down as the biggest inability of political leadership ever? 2.5 years after winning a massive majority, to make so many errors of judgement/lies/mistakes to bring it all down yourself. Incredible. He was never fit for it, it’s been a disaster

Like everyone else who reads his tweet I find myself thinking- do we blame Billie Piper for getting involved in the first place, or feel happy for her that she got out in one piece?
It’s not a biggy but does anyone else get irritated when they play Rocking All Over The World at final whistle to prompt singing Hecky song? I like the song, just feels a bit dumbed down that we need to be led into singing it, like an under 8’s disco

If *IF* the Oxford vaccine trials show similar results to Moderna/Pfizer, we could be rid of this terrible disease by early next year. That is a triumph of modern science. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
It's OK lads, justice will be done, the person deciding if he broke the ministerial code is Boris Johnson. There's nobody tougher on lying and extra marital affairs.
One approach is be classy & humble, thank people and focus on the incredible journey. Another is to thank nobody, muck rake about severance pay and less successful transfers.
Ooh which to choose

And the classic “17m voters want us to do what they voted for which was leave the single market, leave the customs union and leave the ECJ”.
Who had that ballot paper!? Mine just said leave or remain in the EU..🤔
The Man U/ Man City match is one of the few premier league games I’ve sat through all season and the amount of gambling adverts is mindblowing. We’re grooming young people to think betting on football is normal. It’s addictive and causes debt, there’s clear dangers being ignored
Incredible achievement by Hecky when all said and done. Never got flustered, repeatedly pulled off big wins when it looked like we might go on a bad run. Massive respect to him

She pretty much led the global response to AIDS.
Interestingly if AIDS started now I imagine the alt right/Boris/Trump crowd would go down the ‘gay plague’ route and respond very slowly.
