He said he didn't want the visit publicising but just wanted to stop by and say thank you. Steve Cooper was more than the Forest Coach - he understood the city, the fans and what #NFFC means to us all.
Sad news. Haven't seen official confirmation but seems the lady living on a Tooting bench with her son has died. I wrote this BBC long read about them in 2019 bbc.in/3pR0c88 Hard to write, there were things we couldn't say. I hope her son now gets the support he needs
Great piece. On one level about taking the knee (he finds it depressing but wouldn’t boo). On another about replacing simplistic either or culture wars with ‘and’ reality eg you can be patriotic and remainer, intelligent and leaver

Comically bad timing for my BBC Sounds account to break down as Beeb morphs into Soviet state radio following death of Brezhnev. A good 24 hours to be Max Richter or Sigur Ros!
Really enjoying the Jane Weaver album. Feels very lockdown 3 - resilience, ennui, ethereal shimmer
Felt so lucky to speak to these extraordinary women for @NursingTimes Really humbling to hear their stories nursingtimes.net/news/history-o…
I've written about vaccine priority. Shocking to discover many people with learning disabilities appear to be getting no priority at all. Despite being 30 times more likely to die from covid than people the same age

"There are hundreds of thousands of people in #separated families. Some of them probably live far apart from each other" says @tdecastella journalist and father. "So I'm keen to get the word out that hotels are now open to them". 🔓 bit.ly/dadhotel #dad #COVID19 #Divorce
Don't enjoy seeing my ugly mug at the top of stories. But happy @BBCPolitics have reported the change. It's not really political - this is about kids seeing their parents. But grateful for any coverage as most parents will not know the rules have changed bbc.in/3nBbk4v
And here's the detail. It applies to lockdown & all tiers in England. The specific points affecting separated parents staying in hotels are regulations 5 and 6 (part Y): bit.ly/3sgmFu7
Delighted that govt has amended its lockdown/tier rules in response to my complaint. Separated parents can now stay in a hotel for the purpose of seeing children. Thanks to @cabinetofficeuk officials for listening and all who supported. Pls RT to get word out to other parents
@michaelgove I wrote to you on 18 Nov re child support bubbles. No reply. As a journalist I'm allowed to stay in a hotel during lockdown. As a separated parent seeing my 3 yr old on the other side of the country I cannot. Unfair & undermines policy on separated families. Pls DM
In a massive endorphine event I misspoke...it’s either 6.2 or 5.5C depending on whose thermometer you trust

@tdecastella Ah but that seems so far away. Up the Forest!
But it does rather break my heart how difficult we’ve made it for old people to go about their daily business and how we terrorise them for the crime of not knowing how to download a fucking app. (9/9)

The terror of Bolsheviks, Stalinist purges, the GULAG as a system have never been criminalised, there was never a national, leadership-led redemption attempt. The opposite, all this is now, again, officially preached as a proud process of national cleansing and strengthening.
It’s long overdue that football had a fit and proper, ‘fit and proper person test’ for potential owners of football clubs. An independent regulator is probably the only way to do this.
