Great result for @UKLabour in @Merton_Council elections. Bucking national trends. Congrats @MMLabour @rossgarrod @Siobhain_Mc @EdithmacauleyM @MartinWhelton & all Labour activists, councillors & candidates. A testimony to this Council's local delivery, your calibre & hard work.

My thoughts this Sunday - #Burnham and #Peltzbeckham - block them both.

@oldroydofficial @rbo_org Strong support for Kosky and his production team in the audience last night - #Walkure

'Reflecting on @rbo_org 's "Die Walküre" of last night rather than local election results! New production (Barrie Kosky) - ancient, dying earth metaphor; bleak; charred remains;blood & mud. Some great singing. Music: sublimely uplifting under Pappano. #royaloperawalkuure

In 2017 after the death of the late Tessa Jowell from a Glioblastoma @DHSCgovuk gave @NIHRresearch £40,000,000 for brain tumour research. Shockingly it’s still not spent. In that time 22,400 ppl incl Margaret will have been diagnosed & most will be dead. Why aren’t they sacked?

@WimbledonNewsie @Merton_Council @WimbledonNewsie - it reported on the same list and research and Merton was number 4 in the best places list... it didn't give it the same prominence obviously....

@EmmaLadyH @Merton_Council Did the original article in the Times reach the same conclusion?

Merton is the 4th best place to live in the UK.... #paradiseMerton ... sports facilities are one factor in the data. Well done, ⁦@Merton_Council⁩ ....#londonboroughofmerton #merton lbc.co.uk/news/is-your-a…

Yesterday marked one of the most significant days in the naval calendar & the 219th anniversary of #TrafalgarDay 🫡 A ceremony took place onboard HMS Victory where sailors & guests took time to remember Adm Lord Nelson as well as all those who fell as a result of the battle.

Notre Dame Cathedral isn't just an architectural masterpiece... It's a Phoenix rising from the ashes of 2019. Let's check out the geometry, engineering and willpower that make this 860 year old temple truly extraordinary... 🧵

@HaydontheWomble Respect. Remember you’re a Womble…. 🕺💃🤣⚽️ #AFCWimbledon

Anyone worked out a way to get a later train to get back than the 21:35 from Newcastle next Tuesday? Else clubbing until 4am it is #AFCW

@AFCWimbledon Hopefully, NUFC will give you guys the gate receipts to help out with repairs, etc. It'll be good to see the Wimbledon fans back at SJP 😉

@kellyjo52 Thanks Kelly, I suppose it’s possible Nelson & @EmmaLadyH had a nibble from this tree… I'll pop over there when I get a moment & check it out @LMulberries @Merton_Hist_Soc moruslondinium.org/map/215

I missed this last month, but, the London Borough of Merton has been named as the second best place to retire in the U.K…. #londonboroughofmerton #mertoncouncil #londonlife #merton #retirement timeout.com/london/news/si…

Today I am announcing that I will be seeking the Labour nomination for the Croydon and Sutton London Assembly selection. This is an area where I have deep roots having grown up in Addiscombe and Carshalton, along with where I first joined the Labour Party in 1994. 1/5

On this day, 21 October 1805, the @RoyalNavy under the command of Lord Nelson defeated the (on paper) stronger combined French and Spanish fleets under Villaneuve. Below J.M.W.Turner’s 1822 painting. #traflagar #turner #nelson
