So here I am in central London enjoying a coffee and cinnamon swirl @oleandsteenuk Danish bakery. Did the now-instinctive plate-turning thing: hello Churchill China.

Trump’s official portrait is installed in the National Portrait Gallery.

Loved seeing the brilliant @FeederHQ @TrenthamEstate concert Thursday. One of my favourite-ever bands. They gave a shoutout to Lunar restaurant @WorldofWedgwood and @Monkey_Forest too. I’m also very happy that they stayed at my hotel @hilton Garden Inn Stoke beforehand.

Imagine the most batshit crazy Trump supporter that you can, and then multiply by fifty….and hey presto you have this intelligent sounding young man in a MAGA hat……

@lucrezianews “I’ll be ‘lean back’.”

And that it all. Goodnight ✌️

🙌 Pleased to hear Etruscan Sq has received planning permission. 🎶 In 2019, we campaigned on bringing an arena to #stokeontrent - with £20m from gov & now today’s news, we’re making it happen. ‼️ I’ve already got a major promoter wanting to bring bands here in advance…

Another monster queue at customs at a European city next to deserted lanes for EU members. The delights of Brexit. 🙌🏻

Love this

#SmithfieldWorks hosted @phpstoke’s meet up and networking event this week! Our #SmithfieldWorks venue provided a great atmosphere with great facilities including tea and coffee and the use of amenities 🙌

The build of our multi-storey car park at @SmithfieldST1 summed up in 30 seconds. The car park has been designed with Stoke-on-Trent and its community in mind, to give users a secure and bold new facility. @SoTCityCouncil @WillmottDixon @timelapsefilms #MSCP #StokeOnTrent

Ouch…that’s gonna sting. Where does the Murdoch-owned New York Post put the Donald Trump ‘I’m running’ announcement? #FloridaMan (See bottom of page for answer)

@PaulWilliams207 @katyphair1 @StokeontrentBID @SoTCityCouncil @HiltonGardenInn @altontowers Article is about Doubletree by Hilton Stoke and Etruria Hall, to which is attributed a terrible stock image of Hilton Garden Inn Stoke. Not helpful for either hotel and lazy “journalism.”

Great to see #StokeOnTrent mentioned in Pick Me Up. Shame none of the restaurants named are actually in Stoke-on-Trent?! There are loads of great places to eat in Stoke and they couldn't find one to mention? @StokeontrentBID @SoTCityCouncil @PaulWilliams207

Breaking News: A judge ordered Rudy Giuliani to testify in a criminal investigation into election interference by Donald Trump and his allies in Georgia. nyti.ms/3aRMT2t

Recently dance troupe Diversity and chancellor Rishi Sunak have stayed at the hotel. This week the Women’s UK Cycle Tour police motorcade checked in for the night. An unusual sight to see 35 police motorbikes parked outside before they set off to meet the next stage of the tour.

In good company with @StokeontrentBID board members @HiltonGardenInn in the spiritual home of British ceramics #MyStokeStory #PotteryBackstamp

Not grim up north midlands — powering up Port Vale

The hotel terrace was the perfect combination of☀️and dappled shade this evening. I felt uplifted to see guests enjoying ice-cold drinks and happy conversation at the end of their busy working days. @HiltonHotels @SmithfieldST1 @VisitStoke @SoTCityCouncil @StokeontrentBID

Good to have the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, visit Smithfield Works today. #Stoke is continuing to develop and progress as a city, attracting bigger businesses and receiving recognition on the national stage🙌 #stokeisontheup @SoTCityCouncil @hmtreasury

Here you go Stokies...
