Cheeky weekday visit to #Whitstable yesterday in the blistering sun with lunch at the beachfront Lobster Shack 🦞
Beautiful day visiting the @royalacademy annual #SummerExhibition today in the early ‘family & friends’ slot, enjoyed the variety of work on display.
Cool seeing legendary bassist, @MarcusMiller959 recently at equally legendary @officialronnies 🎸
When you want to drill down on all results but have a boat to pack up! #Eltham #NorfolkBroads
Labour won all three Greenwich seats, with Eltham & Chislehurst MP Clive Efford saying the party must ‘restore faith in politics’.
Efford dedicated his win to NHS staff who had treated him for prostate cancer.

In Norfolk enjoying the late nights and water lilies on the Broads, will we also see a ‘Portillo moment’…
Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has represented the South West Norfolk constituency since 2010.
But ahead of Thursday's general election, she now finds herself facing a challenge to hold on to a seat she likely assumed was in the bag.

I know an #Eltham family of 4 who’ve not received their postal votes despite eml confirmation from @Royal_Greenwich on 10 June. Tel calls no help. After tomorrow they will not be home till after the election. Disenfranchised while following the rules? @CliveEfford @CharlieJSDavis
@BBCr4today ehh .. Postal vote sitting on kitchen table.. err NO.. Its sitting somewhere in council offices and has NOT arrived like 1000s of others, thus many will be disenfranchised for going on holiday 10 days before an election #r4today
Ooh @BBCRadio4’s Kitchen Cabinet at 10.30am today coming from @woolwich_works…
Interested in the chicken tikka masala debate…

Amazing that Newsnight ended tonight with no acknowledgment that, after 44 years, tonight's edition was the last in its traditional format of studio discussions and interviews, and lots of reporter films. From Tuesday onwards it will simply be a studio-based programme with just one reporter.

Last time there was a July election was July 5th 1945, it was called by the Tory Government who then ended-up being trounced.
A swing of 10.7% to Clement Attlee's Labour Party saw the Conservatives lose 189 seats. Labour ended-up with a majority of 145 seats #GeneralElection
It was ‘so very special’ last time, Just had to be done again…
2 hours of shout-singing last night @Water_Rats along with @RadioheadJust 🎸
