I’m doubting whether I got on the correct boat - I’ve just arrived in, what I hope is Dublin Port, to find that it’s not raining and the sun is out! 🇨🇮🇬🇧

By my reckoning, Jeremy Hunt has now comeback more times than Sugar Ray Leonard.

Listening to @theJeremyVine interviewing Nina Mischoff down an intermittent phone line and then he plays ‘Talking loud & clear’ by OMD. Made me chuckle.

Last night I was pleased to give a talk at @OMRS17995839 Cotswold Branch on ‘Dawkita 1897, the West African Rorke’s Drift’. The amazing story of 43 Gold Coast (Ghana) Constabulary men’s four day siege & 40 mile night time retreat after fighting 7,000 of Samory’s slave soldiers

Fantastic to see the @FR_Babs tonight. One of my favourite players ever to have worn the @CrayValleyPM strip. I’m still talking about ‘that FA Cup goal’ he scored a few years ago, to anyone who’ll listen!

A fantastic organisation. I was delighted and privileged to host an exhibition of theirs in the European Parliament, back in the day. They work they so hard raising awareness of #Scleroderma.
RT @Scleroframed: Today, we have put up our exhibition on the green wall @Zuyderland hospital. There were many visitors all day who were interested in our expo ‘Scleroderma Framed’. Also want to meet us? We are there again on Wednesday and …

Having witnessed #mentalhealth issues amongst two close family members, caused by alcohol & drug abuse, I’m a keen supporter of #MentalHealthDay2022. Today I also think of all the strong family members who live & cope with watching loved ones deteriorate, on a daily basis.

A superb story for #BlackHistoryMonth. Laurie Nurse, originally from British Guyana, was awarded an immediate Military Medal for Bravery in the Field at Anzio in June 1944. Commissioned as an officer, he left the army in 1962 and died in Birmingham in 1984

Lovely to meet up with Twitter friend @HelloFromMarcus, whose tweets always make me smile. Our increasingly bland world desperately needs more colourful people like him - And I received a lovely video message from his daughter thanking me for the fencing mask and foil. En guarde!

Surely I’m not the only one who couldn’t give a hoot about what kind of school Liz Truss, Gordon Brown, or, come to that, any other politician went to? It really doesn’t matter either way. There’s far more important fish to fry.

Seeing ‘The Jews’ trending on here makes me feel sick to the pit of my stomach. Twitter really does have the ability to be the mother of all cesspits when people, who should know better, choose to spout their particular brand of poison.

Some say that politicians no longer know what they stand for. The public respect leaders who stand their ground & loathe those who blow with the wind. It was a shocking policy, but she’s shown a weakness of character that’ll be exploited on both the domestic & international stage

Thought it would be nice to buy one of the new coins with the king’s effigy from the @RoyalMintUK. Seems I’m not the only person to have the same idea.

Whatever your politics, this has to be one of the most embarrassing Faux Pas’ of modern time. Let it be a lesson to everyone that, when you are on the attack, never lose sight of the finer details.

Does this sound familiar Mr. Putin? 84 years ago today. History will be your judge.
RT @MilHistNow: On this day in 1938, Hitler annexes Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland. "It is the last territorial claim which I have to make in Europe," the Nazi leader assures the world.
