    I won't be able to access Twitter for a while after today. Been thinking back on all the surprising, funny, cheery useful things that happened when I first joined. Thanks.

    My gentle, beloved dad died on wednesday Mum followed him home yesterday It seems they couldn't live without each other Though lovers be lost, love shall not And death shall have no dominion. Thanks to all who responded so warmly to Mum's twitter appearances. She loved that.

    I lost my wallet. Which would be nothing. Except. It had a lock of mum's hair in it. It turned an impossibly beautiful lunar grey just before she died. The fact that I can't replace is painful. If you find my wallet (Bold St) hand it into Co-Op bank please. Keep the money.

    And by the way saying @BorisJohnson delivered the 2012 Olympics when he was Mayor of London makes about as much sense as saying Harold Wilson delivered Punk Rock because he was Prime Minister. Tessa Jowell and Seb Coe delivered the Olympics.

    Thé friends and family if George Galbraith (15) wanted to find somewhere safe to watch Spider-Man while he is immune compromised by Chemo. They called the @PlazaCinema and asked how much. The @PlazaCinema said … it’s our pleasure

    NOTE Blue Peter is on CBeebies at 5pm. This clip is a few minutes into the show. You may want to sit with your child. The presenters wanted to speak to the audience about racism. We want to stand together & pledge to do better at fighting racism. 🖤

    Thé radical loveliness of Paddington is that he embodies the Britain we aspire to be while being verymuch an immigrant . He offers patriotism without nationalism. He doesn’t only have those values. He summons them out of whoever he meets. Childrens books eh.

    For a thing. Can anyone anywhere come up with one thing ONE THING that Boris Johnson has ever done right. One thing. Anything. Set the bar as low as you like. I need to be able to say one thing.
