With one of the 45 wonderful lions in Portsmouth that celebrate our pride of being a city for 100 years. A great initiative by the City Council.

85 years ago today a huge air raid left homes in Portsmouth in ruins & the Guildhall gutted. Today we remembered the victims & also Jean Louth (picture of her daughters and me) with the memorial to her we unveiled. She successfully worked with me to get a WW2 memorial built here
At Canoe Lake for The Rowans Hospice festival of light. A huge crowd, and time for me to remember my beloved John Jarvis.
Dear England at Chichester has been a wonderful show tonight. And I don’t know squat about football. Gareth Southgate is a great man.
The Great South Run was incredible this year. A huge privilege to start the women’s elite race, the wheelchair race, the 5K race and give prized to the young people who ran so well.

Water companies are failing thousands of families by refusing to put their own house in order.
Enough is enough, the public shouldn't have to bear the cost of their failures.

ALT A quote text graphic of Tim Farron with the words saying: "It is an absolute scandal that families are being told to limit their water use this summer, while these failing water firms are letting over a billion litres a day go to waste through leaky pipes. Firms that fail to fix leaks should be fined, and water company bosses should be stopped from pocketing eye-watering bonuses. Enough is enough. The public shouldn’t be forced to pay the price for the water companies’ failure."
