Back from a lovely walk around the Severn & through my beautiful home city of #Worcester. I always stop & marvel at our Boer War Memorial outside @WorcCathedral. The quality of the casting really is something to behold. Easy to miss, but worth taking the time to stop & admire.

If everyone in the laughed like Motsi Mabuse, then the world would be a better place. Watching her on Graham Norton and I’m smiling like a Cheshire cat. Such an infectious giggle, she’s like Rusty Lee on laughing gas.

It’s #TrafalgarDay & #BlackHistoryMonth, so here’s a plaque on Nelson’s Column depicting one of our Black sailors who fought at Trafalgar. The Black naval pensioner in this 1854 photo is Richard Baker, who served in HMS Leviathan. We should teach kids this side of our history.

The last time that I spoke to @tomedwardsbbchw, Liz Truss was still leader of the Conservative Party. It was 25 minutes ago.

A day is a long time in politics.

Somewhat ironic that so many letters are being sent around Westminster, on the same day as a Royal Mail strike.

Having handled these, I have to say that they are both truly beautiful and magnificent pieces of craftsmanship. The quality and aesthetics are to behold. As is the miniature version of the Star.

The shenanigans at Westminster precisely underlines why I support a constitutional monarch as our head of state - Politically neutral, a President would, most likely, be either Conservative or Labour, & no doubt dragged into all this nonsense. The Crown is our constant stability.

Look out for cyclists and motorbikes - It’s not just a matter of keeping your eyes open whilst you’re driving, it’s equally important after you’ve parked up. Simple stuff, I know, but it could well save a life. Scary video alert.

Just been to the Post Office with a package. To be told that it won’t get delivered for a few days, because of tomorrow’s strike action.
Hey ho, I don’t mind. As a former CWU (showing my age) member, I believe that they’ve been treated very badly, so happily support them.

Hearing that the Home Secretary has resigned. If true, then the debacle couldn’t get any more bizarre. Time for the PM to request an audience with the King. We need a general election to end this circus. It’s a national humiliation.

Autumn has always been my favourite season due to the incredible colours wherever you look, and this tree is my own ‘cherry on top the cake’. In a week’s time or so, it will stand out even more.

It’s fantastic that Gabon & Togo have both now joined the Commonwealth. Two countries who gained their independence from France in the 1960’s.
RT @RoyalFamily: 🇬🇦Today at Buckingham Palace, The King received the President of the Gabonese Republic, @PresidentABO.
The Gabonese flag was today raised at the @commonwealthsec as it welcomed one of its latest members.

This has already gone on for far too long and it’s not going to stop any time soon, unless we have a general election - It’s the only way out of this nonsense. Anyone who thinks differently is either kidding themselves, or putting their own interests first.

Just home from a quick business trip to Dublin & Belfast. I might be biased because I’m married to an Irish lass, but I never fail to be touched by the warm welcome, craic & ‘what you see is what you get’ mindset, everywhere you go. I love the place, the people & the scenery.

Does anyone have any idea what kind of gourd or pumpkin this is? A friend grew it from a packet of seeds and it’s different to all of the others?

Commentators are bizarrely talking about the PM’s honeymoon being over - It seems to me that she never even got that far, having suffered the political version of being ditched at the altar.
