East End Twit 💙 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇺🇦

@carrielbjohnson @susannareid100 You were all so brave to push it forward with your fab legal team. True courage. 💪🏼

My dear friend "Sarah" speaking so bravely here to @susannareid100 The fact that more women are coming forward only confirms to me that we still don't know the full extent of Worboys' offending, and why it is so important that he remains behind bars x.com/GMB/status/205…

@Shiv_who_burns I misread that as "bank manager" 😂

I was using my back massager to get set for the day when it gave me an electric shock. It’s got an exposed wire in the lead I could have been dedded I wonder how long before work would have called to see where I was

@SamRaincock @gettagripfolks Ooh, I don't eat anything meaty - they still look nice though.

@gettagripfolks @eastendtwit £2.35 a bag. They are lovely. Tripple cooked beef dripping.

The cod is also nice and plenty of fish. £2 per fish so very good value from Lidl. The haddock is in the same type of box but with green instead of blue. In the chiller.

@BBCSteveR @Eurovision Better than some of the Eurovision acts tonight 😉🎹

My earliest Eurovision memory is watching ABBA win in 1974. Ahead of tonight’s 70th Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, here’s my reflective version of Waterloo. @Eurovision

@forwardnotback @harrietanderson Ooh, that looks good. I'd have veggie bangers and take half home for later. I have M&S albacore tuna steak to pan fry later, and bought some lazy ready made sweet potato and potato buttery mash. Will add a few spears of asparagus for some healthy greenery.

I actually went out Door to Door in a Uber as I’m banned from anything that involves me ‘walking’ for than 10 metres atm and I need to be met at destination (a bit like royalty) Of course A #Cafe was involved Bangers, mash, beans & onion gravy Thank you @harrietanderson

@AudreySuffolk Ooh, ginger and dark choc. Yum yum yum. Do try the Pip and Nut dark choc almond butter cups - best treat ever. Holland & Barrett stock them 🍫🫚 xx

This is a cracking chocolate biscuit

Early shopping today, missed the Westfield crowds too. No peonies though in either M&S or Waitrose 😢. Saw the Man U player coaches too - they must be at West Ham later.

@Shiv_who_burns So sorry to hear that - hope he's okay. Maybe think about getting him a leakproof insulated mug so he can take some tea with him next time (I rate Contigo from TKMaxx or Amazon)

Dad has a letter from the hospital diagnosing some serious heart* problems and to go to a and e if he has twinges He has twinges So he’s having a cup of tea, getting his letter copied in case they lose it and is getting a taxi to a and e Sighs Coronary heart disease

@BarbaraRich_law @v_j_freeman I don't like her politics, but her delivery and presence have come on leaps and bounds.

@v_j_freeman I heard her speak on Sunday and thought her very impressive. Her party has huge legacy and structural problems in restoring its electoral fortunes, but it’s a pleasure to see her hammering a Labour front bench that has been too keen to condescend to her

Streeting desperately trying not to smile, McFadden just beaming, & some marvellous Kemi side eye

@SamRaincock It's as cool as February here 🥶

What a day of weather - I was having the ponder of "should I buy my bedding plants" and the Northumberland weather has strictly informed me that it is not advisable yet!

@Dam_McCarthy @mcdermottkc_ So, that was before you got disbarred?

@mcdermottkc_ I was a pupil at Doughty Street chambers. I found him creepy, vacuous, weird and dishonest. I think anyone who is being honest (who isn’t part of a weird lobby interest group) would say the same.

I have never met Keir Starmer (as far as I am aware) but I know a good number of people who know him well. My impression is of someone who is in politics for the right reasons … essentially to improve life for others. He doesn’t get everything right … 1/

@malprin @BoomRadioUK Beautifully curated, and there's nobody quite like Ethel Merman in Gypsy.

😉 @BoomRadioUK

@Shiv_who_burns I've reacquainted myself with Birkenstocks, just buying fuchsia pink patent paint plus I'm getting out my rock and roll chic Heidi Klum jewelled Birkis from 20 years ago, barely worn, now selling for a fortune on various sites, but I think they shall be my summer statements

I’ve gone right off shoes I blame Louis Vuitton

@forwardnotback I am so glad you're back out and about and regaining your place as a leading member of the Café Society ♥️

And about six minutes away (10 with stops for breath) the local cafe 😀😀😀❤️ Ham, eggs and fried potatoes 😍

My red cross volunteer took me for a short walk I tell ya it is a sign!

@Shiv_who_burns I made a reverse bucket list of things to do this weekend - I've not done so well 😢

Things achieved - next to nowt.* 🤷‍♀️ *level 267 on a block game

@helenvecht @DrNeilStone the plane tree dust is insane this year, maybe worse because there's been no rain to wash it away.

@DrNeilStone I’m in Outer London. I don’t get hay fever. The trees in my garden have developed rapidly over the last few days. The grass has griz PDQ. I don’t have London Plane trees but suspect their pollen might well be your culprit.

Anyone else in London suffering terribly from hay fever right now or is it just me?

@DrNeilStone I didn't used to get hayfever in London, but this year has been terrible (waits for the antivaxxers to drop by and blame it on all my Covid jabs 😉)

@forwardnotback Pleased you're home. Slow and steady wins the race, punctuated with bubble and squeak in good company at neighbourhood cafés. A proper forward not back moment. PS - when you're ready, Sunday night quizzing could be a thing 🙏🏼

Morning ❤️ First night I woke up at 1am and 6am expecting blood pressure checks - a bit disorientated Other than that I slept really well Now waiting for carer/helper to arrive so I can have some breakfast and a shower - a bit weird not having someone wake me up with a menu😀

@forwardnotback It needs some ketchup too. I make mine with fake bacon (the Richmond version is the best imho)

Plenty of bacon, correct type of bread BUT where is the butter? (Not mine)
