Could not be happier that @radiomukhers.bsky.social scooped the barrel last night at @harrogatefestivals.bsky.social and I have his permission to rename him Abeer for the duration of the weekend 🍺🏆⭐️

And if you see me around, ask me to sign the proof and I’ll give you a special postcard to use as a bookmark (while stocks last). I’m so excited for you to meet DS Joseph Ashe and DI Laurie Bower, my new police pair.

Clown Town is an absolute belter. No one is better than Mick at loading exactly the right words and taking aim at the egos and idiocies in Westminster and further afield.
More satisfying than a squirty flower in the face of your least favourite politician.
