15 years ago, Rage Against The Machine went live on BBC 5Live Breakfast. They cut the broadcast when we unexpectedly hit the 'correct' lyrics. Surprise! Three days later, YOU shocked the world (and Simon Cowell) and made "Killing In The Name" #1 on the UK pop charts, toppling The X-Factor’s dreary monopoly of the “UK Christmas #1”. 100% of the proceeds of the single were donated to UK homeless charities. ‘Twas a Merry Christmas indeed!

🗣️"Somebody needs to do something about mobile phones",
🗣️"Gosh the books are so expensive",
🗣️"I want my child to go to the school over there and it's not fair he can't get a bus"
🗣️ "I love not having to fight about what to wear in the morning but the uniforms are so dear!"
🗣️ "I hate packing a school lunch in the morning"
🗣️ "You mean we have to pay for him to do his exams?"
It feels like the decisions coming from the Department of Education are based on a bad WhatsApp parents' group than a place that takes the education of children and young people seriously.

MASSIVE NEWS! So today begins the first step on a journey that has taken nearly 40 years. Back in the late 80's my Dad wrote a book that due to unforeseen family circumstances had to be put on hold. In the 90’s it was given to me to read, I loved it and it’s basically been with me ever since. 18 months ago my Mum received some devastating medical news which has fundamentally changed her, my Dad’s and our family’s lives. Since then I've made it my mission to try and do something big to help them. So this past year I've dug out the old manuscript, given it a fresh coat of paint, enlisted the amazing @yoniweisberg for cover art and my sister @Lauren91_x to proof read and TODAY we are ready to launch my Dad's book: The Man Who Stole The World Cup. 🎉📚
It's a brilliant, fun, adventure, football/time travel story set in 1986 starring two kids from Liverpool, (Kenny Dalglish-mad Jo and Comic book loving Bluenose Andy), who get pulled into the conspiracy to steal the Jules Rimet World Cup Trophy in 1966.
Getting this book out in the world, and allowing my Dad the opportunity to follow his dream has been one of my biggest ambitions, so today is HUGE! To help make it a reality we've launched a Kickstarter page where you can pre-order Limited Edition, Hardback copies of the book. Any help or support, either by buying a copy or helping us spread the word would be great appreciated!
The order page is here: kickstarter.com/projects/199…

🧵 I have calculated how much the school book grant for primary schools is going to be.
I want to explain why this is simply a sinister cut and the impact it's going to have on schools and families.

I won this signed @Pele shirt at a charity auction a number of years ago.
Let’s get it a new home…
TO WIN - All you have to do is RETWEET but PLEASE READ the caption as I want to use this to help a former team mate and a diamond of a guy.
@DMNorris19 is selling his @Argyle League One promotion medal to raise some money.
What he’s going through happens a lot to ex players for one reason or another and I believe that we should all help someone when they’re at a low point in life so please help him if you can, even a RETWEET spreads the word.
Calling all @IpswichTown @Argyle @LUFC @Pompey fans
See the just giving page below 👇🏼
I’ll pick the winner of the shirt by random this week and it’ll be also on Instagram
P.S It won’t fit in a postbox so will leave winner to sort out getting it.
