Ah yes, the Mediterranean. Famous this decade for its idyllic wildfires, water rationing and 45°C summers. Sign me up.
Quite possibly the stupidest argument ever committed to newsprint.
What's next: Britain can't stop global crime. Scrap the police and embrace the Wild West.
Lovely to get this endorsement from the brilliant @The_PBS
Enjoyed The Detectorists on tv? Still hum the @JohnnyFlynnHQ theme tune when you go for a walk?
This @nigeriwolf book is the non-fiction equivalent! Thoughtful, gentle, heart-warming and fascinating. About home and place just as much as metal detecting.

Chortle chortle, scribble scribble: inside the Old Bailey with Britain’s last court reporters Brilliant long read by @SophieElmhirst on the dying art of court reporting at the Old Bailey and the ‘kaleidoscope’ of human behaviour it reveals. theguardian.com/news/article…

Nigel Richardson - The Accidental Detectorist.
Thoughtful, gentle, full of heart, this is a talk about metal detecting but also about returning to the local, to the land and to home.
We're full but ask nicely and we will try to fit you in!

This from Jenrick, Rees Mogg et al. Monstrous people. And they know exactly the dangers and forces they're playing with.
I am one of the victims of the incompetence and contempt for customers of @Avantigas and they still have £800 of my money: Scores of UK households left without heating after LPG delivery delays. theguardian.com/business/202…

The irony of Brexit is that the elites have never before taken back so much control.

Astonished by the job @Gazoneil is doing at @Wolves. Arrived 4 days before start of season to severely depleted squad (minus £80m talent, incl. captain Neves) whose manager quit because they supposedly weren’t good enough. Then lost M Nunes to Man City and couldn’t sign a striker they needed. Galvanised squad, instilled belief and whole new tactical ethos, improved individuals, excellent man management and has united the fans and club. Classy in face of adVARsity. Ended year 3 wins from 3. Deserves so much credit 👏🏼 👏🏼 #wwfc
Lovely endorsement of #TheAccidentalDetectorist by @The_PBS – I appreciate it, coming from one the South's great bookshops. And my team @Wolves just won! Happy days.
After "The Detectorists" on TV it was only a matter of time before someone wrote a book on the subject. In @nigeriwolf the subject found a brilliant writer to do it justice. Thoughtful, funny, gentle and kind, this book is about place, history and home.

Maybe I've got this wrong, but Rishi Sunak seems to suggest that it is potholes in the roads that are holding up HS2
Nigel Richardson retweeted
Now, you can travel directly from Birmingham New Street to London Euston.
Once HS2 is finished, you'll be able to go:
1) New Street to Curzon Street
2) HS2 to Old Oak Common
3) Old Oak Common to Euston
Thus replacing a single train journey with one requiring at least 2 changes.

Oh good.
Liz Truss to ‘share lessons’ of her time in government in new book theguardian.com/politics/202…
Nigel Richardson retweeted
In the moments after the main body of the interview had finished, and as the camera repositioned for extra shots, Keegan - still wearing her mic - criticised others and claimed the govt has gone 'over and above' in addressing concerns relating to Raac
Nigel Richardson retweeted
Contrast Wolves’ Matheus Nunes, on strike to force Man City move, with 18-yr-old Wolverhampton-born Nathan Fraser’s debut: “I’ve always wanted to play for Wolves. Just to get on the pitch, oh my god, in front of the fans, then you get an assist, then you score. Amazing” 🤗 #wwfc

I’ve just heard the news.
It has destroyed our Scottish holiday.
My wife Bunty is inconsolable & is in tears.
I am forsaken.
Nadine Dorries was our Boudicca
Our Cilla

Our Gabby Yorath
We cheered her on by chanting #GoNads
And now she has gone.

An utterly moving and staggering interview with Andrew Malkinson on #r4today At the very least (and it is the very least) let’s make sure he gets financial compensation promptly.
