Don’t tell Nick Timothy and Connie whatsit but there are scenes of mass prayer going on in Trafalgar Square and I’ve seen a donkey! World domination clearly on people’s minds…

Aaron looks remarkably fresh, I feel reasonable for a late night and freakin clocks changing. @evilblizzard.bsky.social were sensational by the way 😍😍

@lbc.co.uk from 7am: as pumps start to run dry are you ready to do your bit and leave the car behind? Who does Britain more harm: benefit cheats or tax cheats? And has House of Lords signed its own death warrant by blocking attempts to legalise assisted dying? 0345 6060973 x

Unsurprised to read this - amazed to see Devon rivers dropping fast despite months of rain. Spate rivers need watering little and often, huge deluges don’t help 😕

Taking producer Aaron to see the brilliant Evil Blizzard tonight at the 100 Club. A great idea when I booked it, not so good now we know the clocks go forward.....ho hum x

@lbc.co.uk from 7: war - as ministers are told to prepare for a worst case scenario should that mean conscription, bomb shelters, getting Neets to fly drones? Plus is government doing enough to protect kids from online harm? And the fella fined £1000 for putting a bag in the wrong bin 0345 6060973

Very pleased with the number of people who have come forward to stand as Reform candidates in the local elections.

Watching my first Chuck Norris (RIP) film....lordy....makes Jason Statham look like Gielgud x

You'll be astonished to learn that the self-described "Free Speech Union" recently took out a court injunction to prohibit publication of a list of its donors... But @petergeoghegan.bsky.social reports it has gained "significant sums from a vehicle linked to... donors to Tufton Street think tanks"

Wished I'd brought this up on @lbc.co.uk earlier....

The aurora last night from our house.

@lbc.co.uk from 7: as Trump considers sending thousands of troops to Iran is the world looking at another forever war? Petrol rationing and medicine shortages are on the cards here - is government on the case? And your thoughts on the row over public prayer 🙏 0345 6060973 x
