Fear the man is right.

Just back from the game, don't let the 3 goals fool you, that today is the worst performance of the season, atrocious! Fair play to Portsmouth did everything better than us from start to finish! #Ncfc

Sympathy to all the @NorwichCityFC fans at Burnley this evening. First time this season where I fear I am going to stop listening to @BBCNorfolk @BobRutler

Always amuses me - well, appalls me - that Sharon Graham of the Unite union, such a mighty figure in the Labour movement, was elected by the votes of about 6 per cent of her members.

Come on Bedfordshire County Council, turn down the Universal theme park proposal.

Great to see him last week in Norwich.

Great to see this finally arrive. Terrific editorial job by Nathan Waddell @Orwell_Society @TheOrwellPrize https://t.co/pQCbMbEU5p

Terrific @thetimes column by the boy @j_amesmarriott . Can Keir Starmer really not name a favourite novel? Cannot possibly vote for him if so.

Very moved to see a frail but determined Bruce Foxton come out to play the second half of From the Jam’s UEA Norwich set. All the very best to him. https://t.co/Dqv8RXNKYL

Terrific piece by the boy Marriott in @thetimes on the Newcastle Lit and Phil @j_amesmarriott Makes me want to be there.

Will be there in the autumn!

I wrote this in praise of the Lit & Phil in Newcastle upon Tyne - the library I love most in the world and where I spent half my teenage years https://t.co/f3GRYOiRJs

Fearful cheek of Balfour Beatty telling MPs not to challenge the Government’s planning bill. MPs are there to represent their constituents’ views, not to kowtow to profit-hungry developers.

Great to be able to write about Aykroyd/Belushi era of SNL for @TheSpectator

Looking forward to this one with Travis Elborough @Orwell_Society @TheOrwellPrize Always get a great audience @sohemiansociety

Wonder what #GeorgeOrwell, subject of our 6 May Q-and-A with his biographer #DJTaylor, would’ve thought of this pulp paperback cover of one of his early novels. Its visual and marketing style was copied very successfully in Britain by Tony van den Burgh’s Four Square Books. https://t.co/0i64hrA0fj

Knew the sleuths @Orwell_Society would spot my little joke…

Orwell Society @Orwell_Society

Who would have thought that George Orwell would appear in the literary pages of PEye? 'It's Nicer Lying Down' ('Confessions of a Book Reviewer'), and High Jinks in a Parisian Convent (Keep the Aspidistra Flying). But it was High Jinks that was written by Sadie, not It's Nicer. https://t.co/6M9WmUOBub
