A reminder that the clocks go back in the UK tonight. Enjoy your extra hour in bed, unless you live with a cat in which case breakfast will be expected an hour earlier and refusal to comply will result in loud miaowing.

A new 'watery wander' walk around the King's Cross and St Pancras development, exploring the influences of water: now-hidden rivers and wells, then the coming of the canal and basins, the railway age, dereliction and rejuvenation.

Rishi Sunak has offered his resignation to The King but Keir Starmer has yet to be appointed as Prime Minister, so who's in charge? Me.

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

The polls are open. Remember that politicians are servants of the people. Today thousands of them across the UK are asking for your vote.
Your vote is precious; it grants power and it removes it.
Use it and remind them never to take it, or you, for granted. #GE2024
