Coopah tempo run 2 x 10 min intervals, tough enough but why is the wind always against the direction I’m going? #running #runuk #London2025 #mduk

“A line has been crossed”: PM Keir Starmer has responded after days of attacks from Elon Musk on himself and Jess Phillips.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Starmer speak in this way before - such so that it’s worth posting his comments in full.

5 miles today takes me past my extended target of 1000 miles in 2024 and there’s a few days left to go further. Anyone else at or close to an annual target? #running #runuk #training #1000miles

Starmer’s statement about working with US and EU is well meaning but naive

It will be Trump who chooses not the UK

And outside EU we are too weak to stand up to the bully in the White House

Time to choose decency and the rule of law and join the customs union

Today’s river run gave me swans and their growing cygnets. The water looked evil, dark, fast and lots of debris but 7 miles cleared my mind and improved my mood. #running #runchat #runforfun #swans #river

My plan said today is a rest day, so I spent the time booking a half for next March. What else do you do when you’re not running? #running #races #restday

I talk about this endlessly in my book....how our current electoral system is NOT fit for purpose

@petergeoghegan.bsky.social explains more re donations

Jeez Labour...tighten up these horrors....
NEW 🚨 Britain's electoral laws are broken - but successive governments have done nothing

Musk's proposed $100million donation to Nigel Farage shows we are on the cusp of a real crisis for British democracy

But it can be fixed. Here's how, by me

Musk’s $100m to Farage will break our democracy
Keir Starmer needs to fix Britain’s broken electoral laws now - if he doesn’t, we will all suffer the consequences

Today’s run, cold damp and windy but 7 miles in the bank towards 1000 this year. River is high, fast and evil looking. Feeling for those suffering from flooding and hoping the rain stays away from them. #running #runchat #ukrunchat #winterrunning #rain
