Up bright & early for today's stroll through the capital: a tour of Roman London. We shall walk the line of the city walls, and then visit the sites of its vanished monuments. (The archaeological sites, alas, will be shut, but there is always the imagination...) #Londinium

JUST IN: Twitter has permanently banned President Trump's account because of "the risk of further incitement of violence" cnn.it/3ostSFr
Excellent to see this authoritative statement by @michaelgove getting no publicity whatsoever.
GREAT NEWS
My ongoing campaign to limit the number of people retweeting this image and causing upset to Gove has made great progress I am now so confident that nobody will RT it that I am going to tag in @michaelgove so he can see how well we're doing.
Thank you.
