BREAKING: Music legend Bruce Springsteen just released this incredible song that will be sure to piss Trump off beyond belief. “Streets of Minneapolis”. He wrote this song about Alex Pretti and Renée Good Saturday and recorded it yesterday. Share it far and wide and play it as loud as you can

Replying to @rogerthereg
I loved your poem, Rog. It made me both smile and feel sad at the same time: "I’ll ask men I meet in lifts if they could lift a woman above their shoulders swizzle them round and put them back on the floor so gently like a butterfly on a buddleia." Beautiful.

Maybe someone at the @KensingtonRoyal account can alert Prince William to this heartfelt plea? I’ve met & interviewed Tommy Craig about his beloved #SWFC & no acting skills will have been required for this. He looks close to tears & that is genuine.
I’ve been asked to post this video by Tommy Craig, actor and lifelong #SWFC fan. A man deeply worried about his club, requesting Prince William’s attention. A slight slip of the tongue midway through, but it’s a heartfelt plea and he’s not alone in feeling like he does.

Today marks the birthday in 1913 of one of Larkin's favourite writers, and personal friend, novelist Barbara Pym. Pym was born in Oswestry in Shropshire, and a blue plaque dedicated to her can be found there.
