- As I was going to St Ives, I met a man with several wives and an undisclosed number of children
- My 90 year old mum was turned away at the polling station. She had the right photo ID but no polling card. YOU DO NOT NEED A POLLING CARD TO VOTE. Have reported it and an inspector is on their way but am absolutely beside myself. Confusion reigns.
- Hello. Delighted to say I am happily recovering from a mastectomy earlier in the week after an anxious few months (a tumour was found in one boob in March). Please remember to get any breast changes checked. It's no bloody joke. Catch it early. Love to all who have been so kind X
- Coming up to a year since I went to the GP with a weird thick bit making my right breast uncomfortable. 12 months on, I have less hair but no tumour, and a lot of clever drugs in my system looking for stragglers to zap. Get checked people, the science is ace #WorldCancerDay
- I think when I die Barry Gardiner will still be on the telly talking about Labour's perfectly clear Brexit position.
- Got jabbed this morning by a lovely dentist on her day off wearing hot pink scrubs and matching specs. She said she probably wld get the AZ into 60 of us today in her booth alone (community hall divided up). I blubbed like a fool as the sun streamed in. Up the vaxxers!
- About to have my Christmas chemo. Really hoping medical staff can get vaccinated soon.
- Bugger off Boris we print what we find out. Our job at the @FT is to report not to wave a bloody flag
- Just about enough hair for a post-chemo trim this morning. Red letter day. I look a bit unconvinced ...
- Cafes full. Shops and market stalls thronged. London is not listening.
- Well, the day after the last March budget I was diagnosed. And tomorrow is my final blast of daily radiotherapy. Quite a year (for everyone). Still waiting for the calm, wisdom and insight to arrive. Very grateful for all the support. Twitter has been good company 🙏
- Well, she had the guts to turn up, for a start. And to apologise, which is more than you can say for some *pursed lips* Good on both @afneil and @joswinson
- Replying to @ada_daft and @Fox_ClaireIt's not Khan it's the government needlessly introducing new Voter ID rules so everyone is confused. Nothing to do with the incumbent mayor.
