This is how I was taught my values. Stories of heroes whilst being cwtched by my Mamgu.
School holiday exploring with my 4 yo & his Mamgu.
Cults of Personality are so un-British that I’m reassured that most people’s response to this nonsense is to laugh at it
On Hols in the Roman Forum
Darren: This is the Temple of Julius Caesar.
My 4 yo: Who is Julius Seagull?!
*we emerge in the sun to find a seagull literally straight opposite*
4 yo *sharp in-take of breath* there he is!
😂 🇮🇹 ❤️
Never mind @TheCrownNetflix my 4 yo & I are currently listening to @imeldaMPBS singing The Highway Rat song & it’s an epic performance.

Hi @uniofwarwick I’m a Warwick Alumnus. Periodically you ask me to give you money.
What are you specifically doing about these students singing Nazi songs? It’s revolting.
EXCL 🚨 Tory student group held black-tie dinner two weeks ago where members sang German marching song used by the Nazis in WW2

1. I’m in tears. #DissbilityTwitter pls help me call out @ThistleHotels & @agoda. I booked a wheelchair accessible room in March for my London trip to speak at @WomensPrize tomorrow. arrived in taxi to find there’s 8 steps to get in & there’s no wheelchair accessible room free.
By day I’m pouring over medical records.
But in the long Summer evenings I’m working PRO BONO for the Welsh Rugby Union!
I wouldn’t trust incompetent @JamesCleverly & @RishiSunak with a draft excluder.
You think I’d give you my two Sons?
"No one's going to jail over this."
Home Secretary @JamesCleverly says the Tories' mandatory National Service plans are "about building a network across society" and also confirms volunteering won't be paid.

National Service is to the Right what Revolutionary Politics is to the Left.
Both are proposed by older or weedy men who don’t intend to do any of the fighting themselves… it’s for others to get their hands dirty.
It’s pathetic. They’re pathetic.

As baby Barrister I gate crashed a @JuniorLawyers party for their free booze. This gorgeous blonde walks up to me & says “hi what’s your name & what firm do you work for?”
I confess I’m local Counsel, there for the booze & not to tell the host.
She tells me she is the Host…

… she then took my Champagne flute away from me. Something no one had ever had the guts to do me in my 27 years.
Reader, I married her.
Travelled to Iceland to see the lights only to be met by cloud cover. Here we are in our back garden.
I am honestly telling you the truth when I say this is EXACTLY what my Mamgu’s living room looked like in the Swansea Valley in the 80s.
That leather settee (not a sofa) & the bead curtain that led to her Kitchen.
This will be my only Met Gala tweet but it’s an important one.
