All the self-important armchair detectives & egotists who felt it necessary to criticise Nichola Bulley & her family, should take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror & hold their heads in shame. A family with two little girls are grieving. That’s all that really matters.

Very sad to hear about Jimmy Carter, who, since the end of his presidency some 41 years ago, has devoted himself to charity work and good causes. No hype or ego around him. Just a thoroughly decent human being. May his final days be as comfortable as possible.

Just heard that #Bermondsey legend Victor sadly passed away. He tapped me for many a few quid & hundreds of cups of tea in the old days down East Lane. One of South London’s finest old characters. If you knew ‘the phantom raspberry blower’ then you knew Victor. Bless him. #RIP
RT @AgeUKLS: Today at Yalding Healthy Living and Learning Centre we said our goodbyes to the Bermondsey Legend Victor.
R.I.P Victor from all of the staff and members at Yalding. #farewell #…

I appreciate that I’m biased because I’m a trustee, but anyone in #Worcester who doesn’t know about St. Swithuns, really should pop along this Saturday to find out more this fantastic venue and resource within our wonderful city.

Good to get down to the Artic Stadium to watch @CrayValleyPM tonight. We had the run of the game, but, alas, it wasn’t to be. Heads up. We can still make the play offs. Come on you Millers! #COYM

Lovely to get out #metaldetecting today with my old club, for the first time in ages. I even managed to get my ‘Jack Russell fix’, courtesy of one of the club members. I found a few old buttons and a Georgian coin, but it was great to blow away a few cobwebs on a Sunday morning.

@JamesCleverly @AndrewmitchMP I’ve just been reliably updated on the worrying situation in #Somaliland, with further allegations of attacks on them & counter allegations. We urgently need the UK to properly monitor the situation, and to establish the facts.

Last week was tough, but I was privileged to give the eulogy at my best mate’s funeral. However, the choice of music was superb - He came into the chapel to ‘Going Underground’ by the Jam, and we left to ‘End of the Line’ by The Travelling Wilburys. Rest in peace ‘Rockin Phil’.

Seeing #ozzyosbourne’s decision to stop touring reminds me of my late wife Carmen’s claim to fame. Her uncle David Hemming was @OzzyOsbourne’s road manager in the early days. As a little girl, she was a friend of his son Elliot & would sit on Ozzy’s knee playing farmyard animals.

The timing of #Zahawi getting the boot underlines the poor tactics & inability of the PM & his advisers to see the bigger picture & play the long game - His sacking at the very moment that many of us settle our tax bills, will only compound public anger. #Rabbitsintheheadlights

I’m very proud of my complicated genes - My Dad’s mum was a Romany Gypsy & my Mum’s dad was a Polish Jew, whose uncle & family were all murdered in Auschwitz. If we’d lost WW2 then, simply put, I would never have existed. #HolocaustMemorialDay

A lovely way to start the week - I’ve been appointed a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.

A good day for both of my footie teams, each winning 2-0. @CrayValleyPM @WestHam. Alas, I’m having a dry January, so will toast them both tonight with a Diet Coke. Come on you Millers! #COYM. Come on you Irons! #COYI.

The words of this superb song, taken from the Book of Ecclesiastes, and turned into magic by ‘The Byrds’, seems most appropriate today. #DavidCrosby

I had Covid 16 months ago & still have absolutely no taste or smell. Does anyone have any sensible suggestions? I’ve tried a few homeopathic remedies, to no avail. I had the first two Covid injections & the booster, the last really knocked me for six. I won’t be having anymore.

Acknowledging they wouldn’t have the historic cash flow previously available in the past, were they to win power, is far bigger a story than many realise. Is it Kier’s ‘Clause 4’ moment? Fiscal responsibility will be a big factor in deciding our next govt.

Just paid my respects to my late wife’s uncle & old friend Harry, at his funeral. Aged 93, he was a boy soldier veteran of WW2 & later Palestine, Malaya, Korea & Nigeria. He was undoubtedly, one of the last remaining West African Frontier Force veterans. A true gentleman. #RIP

My Twitter Interaction Circle generated by http://TwitterCircle.com - A few faces that I didn’t expect to see, and a few missing that I thought I would’ve seen - My immediate thought was how different this is to what it would’ve been a year ago.
