This is a great pod by @IainDale - really interesting, in-depth and informative

A privilege to sit next to the brilliant @tonylivesey last night. I gave a strange shriek of joy when he won! We’ve worked together for many years and it’s richly deserved. The love he showed @bowelbabe in her final days showed him as both great person and a skilled presenter.
Last night myself and ⁦@bowelbabe⁩ Dame Deborah James won gold at the radio oscars for our final ever conversation. Radio Times moment of the year. Somewhere I hear the drinking of Prosecco and the shouting of ‘check your poo!’ ❤️

Very weird - I’m sure I just heard an ad on @talksport in Irish (as Gaeilge) Think it was for @HSELive. I wonder how many people listening understood a word of it?

Keep McNeill on corners from that side
Where would Liverpool and City finish if they had to play a whole season with 10 men? #LIVCRY
Pressure only ever comes from the fans so no he’s not under pressure. I’ve not heard a single blue call for Frank to be sacked.

Darren Fletcher said a few times that Onana is Everton record signing. He’s not is he? #AVLEVE

Amberidge Walk, Hulme. My flat at number 20 (on the top floor) was where #Morrissey came round for cauliflower cheese and we listened to New Order, December 1983. This photo from 1982 @rebuildingmcr Also where Sonic Youth slept on my floor. Ancient history.

Ah lads I’m only home for the weekend there’s no need to declare a national day of liberation on my behalf!
The Tánaiste has not ruled out the possibility of bars and restaurants being able to stay open beyond 8pm tonight, but said there are still things which have to be worked out in order to change current regulations | More: bit.ly/3FVvxeE

I’m no gaeilgeoir but I’ve realised that Silent Night (Oíche Chiúin) is in Irish first in my head

Bar Frank Sinatra nobody does Christmas songs better than @MichaelBuble - it’s just a fact.

Superb from the ever thoughtful @PatricKielty
"A #SharedIsland means challenging ourselves to go beyond our own comfort zones, and what we are prepared to give up to make things better for others and ourselves..." 🗣️Comedian @PatricKielty's brilliant address to yesterday's #SharedIsland Forum🗨️👇
This is on no way a defence of ⁦@Everton⁩ which is a shambles but I’ve heard the nett spend £500m bandied about recently- appears it’s incorrect that’s gross figure. The nett is £275m - still dreadful recruitment

I’m bringing my 9 year to Goodison on Wednesday night - I think he might learn a few new words!
"I would rather be anywhere else in the world than at Goodison Park on Wednesday night." @MattJFootball joined @acjimbo, @lynseyhooper, @danielstorey85 and @MattDaviesAdams for an optimistic take on Everton, the Merseyside derby and The Thick Of It... Join us! 👇🎙️
