A thrill to be asked to do this pod! Go get it! As you'll know, I am nothing if not 'the sportsman's sportsman'!

Just finished reading #SomebodyToldMe by Danny Wallace - a brilliant book on #fakenews #conspiracy #trolls

Roh's a good man. He was captured by the Taliban at 12, managed to make it over here to reunite with his dad, started a family and found good work - and is now running as an MP. I interviewed him on #Manatomy a couple of years back and his story is amazing.

Tories helped ruin their rivers and air. They helped ruin universities and futures.
Made it harder to travel, fall in love with anyone not British, buy a house.
Harder to be an artist. Eat. Even vote!
The young don't owe National Service.
The nation should serve the young!

Those pesky teenagers living in their bubbles eh?

Dad's Army was a valuable blueprint for a safe and protected Britain. I think when you reach 70, five years of service in the Home Guard should be mandatory. Otherwise pensioners face arrest or involuntary fruit picking.

They need to make room for all the 18 year olds who don’t want to pick fruit.

Imagine if someone had hidden a single crisp £50 note in one of these special editions of #SomebodyToldMe in Topping & Company Booksellers of Bath...?
They haven't, but imagine if they had.

somebody told me by Danny Wallace couldn't have been released at a more apt time. i finished it the other day, then a general election was announced and i'm already spotting way more disinformation posts everywhere

They can’t all resign there’ll be too many podcasts

He is an example to all pupils!
Particularly the large and dilated.

Two funny gentlemen helped me choose fun books for my 9yo at Waterstones Bath today and helped me remember the precise and also random pleasure the wealth of attractions in a bookshop brings.

One day soon, the Conservative party will just be Jonathan Gullis, grunting at a blinking CCTV, totally confused by where everyone else went.

Meanwhile, on Channel 4, Gove, Leadsom and the rest will be fighting over the £1000 prize on Come Dine With Me.

One of the great embarrassments of my life is the night of my birthday, when an hour before our dinner my friend called me to say he couldn't meet me because he had met Michael Gove and was going to hang out with him instead.

Why does he need so many expensive cars? He could do all this on a bike.

We have much to thank Michael Gove for. All of it his decision to step down.

“We need less students in universities!” says man who doesn’t know the difference between less and fewer. #bbcqt
