It would be a real shame if this got RT'd massively to create awareness in his constituency that there is an opportunity looming to kick Boris Johnson out of British politics. Retweet and add your own hashtags if you don't have sympathy for him.

"There was a prevailing idea at the time that as long as a bowler was straight, a batsman could do nothing against him. That idea I was determined to test." The Champion, 175 years old today...

Just back from Enfield Haunting Play by Paul Unwin . It's terrifyingly good - takes you from suburbia into the same sinister netherworld as Henry James's "Turn of the Screw". Catch it while you can.

Catch "The Promise", brilliant, moving play about founding of the NHS by Paul Unwin at @ChichesterFT (ends Aug 17). Heroine is Ellen Wilkinson (5* perf by Clare Burt), the greatest, fieriest Labour minister you've never heard of - think Barbara Castle squared.

Hi Annie Chave and WG RumblePants, Have you seen what a Cambridge college plans to build on Fenner's? Google "Protect the Historic Fenner's Cricket Ground" for the petition and please do sign, comment, and spread the news if you feel strongly. Many thanks.

Hi Annie Chave and anyone else who cares about one of England's most famous cricket grounds. This petition to save Fenners from the developers is really worth signing.

Hi Annie Chave Eleanor Oldroyd, David Gower is right - Fenner's should remain "intact". An alarming update about the creeping destruction of a great cricket ground. Cambridge University facing revolt for ‘mistreatment’ of iconic cricket ground telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2025/0…

I think the usually excellent Andy Bull is totally wrong. Day 1 of the Lord's test wasn't boring. It was really absorbing cricket until the ladybirds came. theguardian.com/sport/2025/jul…
