- I paid Richard Ratcliffe a visit last night and he kindly let me take this #photo of him. The husband of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has gone on hunger strike outside the @FCDOGovUK to persuade @trussliz to do more to bring his wife back from her detention in Iran. #FreeNazanin
- I've tweaked the GB News clip from earlier today - when Martin Daubney had mistakenly assumed the Brexit poll would fall in favour of leave rather than 55% supporting remain.
00:00 - Many thanks to my cab driver who gave me the tip off about the scale of the #Coronation rehearsal tonight - after I told him I was a video journalist. Now I'm no monarchist by any stretch of the imagination but this was quite a sight.

00:00- With the news about coronavirus potentially hitting Canary Wharf I'm looking forward to my commute into work.

- 🧵🚨THREAD ALERT!🚨🧵 Last week, I shared a tweet poking fun at @marksandspencer's cheeseburger pasta salad. What I didn't expect was that it would result in write-ups on both local and national news websites. However, as it's been almost a week, I have a confession... 1/19
Stunned, stunned to see another Brexit prophecy come unstuck. Well - at least as stunned as I am to see the Sun in the sky and the toes on my feet.- Replying to @MattLCaponHonestly, the sound of a military band echoing through Whitehall is strangely captivating. The #CoronationWeekend is clearly going to be full of the pomp and ceremony many expect. Anyway, less of this and time to get home.
00:00 - 27-year-old Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh (Liam O'Hanna) better known as Mo Chara - part of Irish group Kneecap - leaves Westminster Magistrates Court to massive cheers from his friends and supporters. He is next due in court on August 20th.

- I think the criticism aimed at #bbclaurak over this interview was unfair; she got the tone spot on and allowed Michelle Mone to dig herself into a hole with her ill-gotten victimhood. The net result is we've got the spiritual successor to the Prince Andrew interview.
