For my grandfathers George and Gabriel who were at The Somme and survived. Just. For my uncles and aunts and those left at home in World War II. For all who loved and lost. Lest we forget. We will remember them.

Today on Remembrance Sunday, we honour the courage and sacrifice of those who have served in our Armed Forces. Their service and dedication will never be forgotten. 🌹 #LestWeForget

Southwark's principal ceremony for Remembrance Sunday takes place at the war memorial in Borough High Street from 10.50am

Great new exbo at my place of work #LSBU on community activism in SE1 in 1970s @se1.news. Free to all so come along to Borough Road Gallery at 103 Borough Road, SE1 0EH 😊. #localhistory @chppc.bsky.social

I’d like to wish London’s Sikh community a joyful Bandi Chhor Divas. This day is a powerful reminder of the values of justice and freedom. Lakh lakh vadhaiyan.

My portrait has been spotted at Harmony Hall in Walthamstow. I had no idea. The last time I saw it was at the opening of the Loud and Proud exhibition in Leyton three years ago. Damn fine photo by Peter Mirrow.

You guys are awesome! £1k raised for Diabetes UK. Thank you so much for the donations and support. Just over 1.2million steps completed, which is about 600miles. #DiabetesUK

John Archer was the first Black man to hold senior public office in London when he was elected Mayor of Battersea in 1913. Black History Month is about rediscovering our history, the stories of Londoners like John Archer and paying tribute to those who came before us.

Amen. And not just us old people. Our grandchildren will understand, because we'll tell them.

Congratulations to the Red Roses on becoming Women’s Rugby World Cup champions. An incredible achievement and a proud moment for England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏆

On Wednesday evening, I had the privilege of hearing Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in conversation with Afua Hirsch at the Southbank Centre. The first Black woman to serve on the US Supreme Court. One word should inspire us all: Persevere.

This cover of The New Yorker (by genius Barry Blint) says it all. And reflects Trump's obsession with controlling the media and everyone who challenges or disagrees with the felon.

So wonderful to see this festival organised by @coinstreet.bsky.social taking place this Saturday. Free, inclusive, family friendly and fun.

What an accolade for @MayorofLondon to receive yet another untrue attack from the Tangerine Tyrant and current POTUS. Trump can’t help himself in an embarrassing display lacking grace, decorum & dignity. It says more about Trump than it does about the thrice elected @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social

Today is World Sepsis Day. Please seek medical help urgently if you or someone you know develop any of the SEPSIS symptoms. #WorldSepsisDay #Sepsis #SepsisAwareness

Fabulous to be spotted by Jon Salmon at The Big Half yesterday. Jon saw me first and gave the biggest of sweaty hugs. Stopping for a selfie and then went back to the half marathon. In a flash he had scarpered. Good work old bean! 🏃‍♂️💨

Trump is visiting Scotland to check-in on his golf courses! Security provided by the British state at the tax payers expense. This is an outrage. He is due a State visit in September. This visit is pandering to his private business dealings. We should not be paying for this! Unacceptable.

Very much looking forward to attending this event at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester on Monday.

I am reminded today of all days that it is almost 21 years since my Dad died. It feels like yesterday. Grief is never really over. It changes with the years. But loss is forever. 💔

Gangsters running the Oval office. Above the law and breaking international and federal law. Rotten state ununited.

Looks like a scam. Beware.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

Looking forward to #PrideInLondon today. This is against a backdrop where many Prides are experiencing reduced funding. Corporates are cutting back and volunteers fewer. Of 201 UK Prides, more than 85 have seen a 26 to 50% drop in funding. Support your local Pride! #DEI

Happy London Pride y’all 🌈❤️🌈

State of the Union Address 4 July.

So proud to be part of Pride in Southwark…so much that I want to live there 🌈

#SolidarityPride outside Hungarian embassy London, to protest ban on Budapest Pride Ban violates EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights, which include freedom of expression & the right to protest If Hungary is not sanctioned, it will embolden other EU states to also repress LGBTs

Great to see the poster I helped with displayed across the borough promoting Pride in Southwark next weekend.

Spotted on South Bank my old mucker Woody from The Wino and Woody Show. An amazing week for bumping into old chums!

My 82-year-old mom’s choir gave a Pride-themed concert today that said No Kings, only Queens!

This is my Dad. I hope he realised when he lived what a huge inspiration and positive role model he was to me and that I daily still try to live by the values and morals he taught me. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of him and wish he was still here albeit he would be 102!
